Go Classical with Sungha Jung

Sungha Jung also does classical music. Guitarists who know how to play classical pieces are coolest ones. That makes Sungha one of the coolest.

"My daily practice routine lasts for one to two hours when school is open, but I play up to three hours a day during the school breaks.
It usually takes me two to three days to practice and videotape a new piece but sometimes up to a week for more difficult ones."
- Sungha Jung

Guitar Gods: Sungha Jung

PRELUDE 

by Bach


50 Classical Guitar Pieces
In Tablature and Standard Notation


The Prelude starts out with a long introduction, introducing the chromatic, almost descending subject, then goes off into a flurry of intricate arpeggios over a long pedal point. The build up is then interrupted by a virtuoso run in the harmonic minor, then a grinding tremolo of a mix of the b diminished chord, and the c augmented chord. A stop and go pattern of chromatic runs, downward arpeggios, and pedal solos based on the opening sequence ensue. The Toccata-like prelude bears the marks of Bach's early, north German-influenced style, while the fugue could be considered a later product of Bach's maturity.More on Wiki


Nothing beats a guitarist that can play classical tunes by classical composers. In my very very short career as a guitarist who thinks he knows how to play a guitar, the only classical musical piece I have ever finished was Forbidden Love (I even forgot its classical title). You can do better than me by learning from this how-to book from Amazon.

Air on a G-String 

by J.S Bach


Bach for Guitar, Masters in Tab

The original piece is part of Bach's Orchestral Suite No. 3 in D major, BWV 1068, written for his patron Prince Leopold of Anhalt sometime between the years 1717 and 1723.

The title comes from violinist Wilhelmj's late 19th century arrangement of the piece for violin and piano. By transposing the key of the piece from its original D major to C major and transposing the melody down an octave, Wilhelmj was able to play the piece on only one string of his violin, the G string...

Recuerdos de la Alhambra 

...F. Tarrega


Mel Bay Presents Tarrega in Tablature with CD

Recuerdos de la Alhambra (translation: Memories of the Alhambra) is a classical guitar piece composed in 1896 by Spanish composer and guitarist Francisco Tarrega. He wrote it in Granada.

A virtuoso on his instrument, Tarrega was known as the "Sarasate of the guitar." His repertoire included many original compositions for the guitar (Capricho arabe, Danza Mora, et al.) as well as guitar arrangements of works written for other instruments by composers such as Ludwig van Beethoven, Frederic Chopin and Felix Mendelssohn. As with his friend Isaac Albeniz and many of their Spanish contemporaries, Tarrega had an interest in combining the prevailing Romantic trend in classical music...

I have a tablature of this classical music I photocopied from a friend. I was excited when I reached home... to be able to play this would really be great. When I got a look at the notes and tabs my heart shrank... up to this day it remained a tablature to me. And this 10 year old kid plays it like Mary Had A Little Lamb. Get the tablature of this classical music and others greats in this book.

Canon in D 

...arranged by Trace Bundy


PARTIAL CAPO:
THE BASICS, TIPS, TRICKS, AND MORE BK/CD
(Songbook)

Pachelbel's Canon, also known as Canon in D major, or more formally Canon and Gigue in D major for three Violins and Basso Continuo (Kanon und Gigue in D-Dur fur drei Violinen und Basso Continuo), is one of the most famous pieces of music by Johann Pachelbel. It was written in or around 1680, during the Baroque period, as a piece of chamber music for three violins and basso continuo, but has since been arranged for a wide variety of ensembles. The Canon was originally paired with a gigue in the same key, although this composition is not regularly performed or recorded today...More on Wiki
