Non-guitar music on guitar

nikharrison

I play a lot of stuff on guitar that isn't written for guitar. As an old classical player, moving on from the 'established' repertoire and playing arrangements of other tunes has been one of the biggest parts of my learning about the instrument 'post-school'.

hmm… Bach for flute sounds interesting… I reckon I need to go look for some scores now..

my student that's learning the Cm prelude from Book I: the well tempered clavier nailed the right hand part for the first time tonight..

totally awesome.. next week we're going to start looking at the left hand part..

this is so much fun..

I'd love to do 2-part inventions with a bass player, and then add a drummer to turn it into a power trio

Claire de Lune on guitar.

A Beautiful 6 minutes of my life, thank you so much for posting that. 

Now i've got classical GAS !

Coltrane solos. Do it

I learnt a few Ed Alleyne-Johnson pieces - he's a loop-heavy electric violin player.

Ironically quite a few of his are interpretations of originally-guitar tracks...

Or Schumann's Night Pieces Op. 23 on Steel String :

my god they are so beautiful….. thanks so much… I enjoyed those hugely..

look up Brian Sutton playing Texas Gales.. it'll blow ya socks off.. he's an absolute monster of a player..

Clarky

my student can now play both the left and right hand parts of the Bach prelude..

that means we can play as a duet..

he takes one part and I take the other.. then we swap over..

sounds absolutely wonderful and is awesome fun...

The bridget Mermikedes transcriptions are wonderful, she has one of Clair de Lune. It's in her book.

I think it's in a GT magazine as well.

I got a book of Bach for solo flute in an attempt to improve my guitar soloing and reading but have mislaid it and not got any benefit

There's an arrangement by Denis Azabagic of BWV 1013 Partita for Flute, there's a good recording of this by Enno Voorhurst.
