Bobby Shaftoe

A sheet of easy tunes: Bobby Shaftoe, When The Boat Comes In, Tallis' Canon and Sur le Pont d'Avignon.

Drunken Sailor

A tab version of the famous tune, What Shall We Do With A Drunken Sailor?

A Carol Arrangement

One of my favourite carol tunes. Personent Hodie was first published in 1582, in the Finnish collection of songs, Piae Cantiones, along with Good King Wenceslas and Unto Us a Child is Born (well, those are the words we put to the tunes these days).

This arrangement is a simple one - it's about Trinity Initial Grade level.

Two Little Pieces

Two pieces for classical guitar. I was going to call them studies but that sounds more boring. The first (all about spreading easy chords with the thumb) has a jazz feel, the second is lively and dramatic.

The first is about Grade 2 (Trinity), the second is harder - and harder to define Grade-wise, I think.

Minuet

Another movement arranged from a Haydn Baryton Trio - this time a Minuet. The middle part has been rewritten: it's been made very simple, using only G, A, B and C.

Three Tunes

Amazing Grace, The Can Can and Joshua at the Battle of Jericho.

Elementary, but not as easy as those in the previous post.

The Sailor's Hornpipe: with Tab

The Sailor's Hornpipe with tab and chords.

Elementary Tune Sheet

A sheet of very elementary pieces for children - ranging from 3-note tunes to 5-note tunes. It includes Old McDonald Had a Farm and Little Bo Peep.

In case anyone is interested in a fuller version of the Three Note Jig included on the sheet, I've uploaded a complete version of that tune as well.

Haydn Trio

A movement from a Haydn Baryton Trio, arranged for three guitars. I've not seen any dynamics in the original and as it seems like a good piece for pupils to work out good ones for themselves, I thought I'd leave them out too.
