Guitar Basics Repertoire

Containing over forty pieces, Guitar Basics Repertoire offers a rich and varied mixture of folksongs from around the world (Aura Lee, Sakura), classical tunes (Bizet – March of the Kings, J. S. Bach – Minuet in G) and popular film music (including themes from Pirates of the Caribbean and Harry Potter), alongside evocative originals (Falling Leaves, Havana Goodtime, Samurai Sword, Tudor Dance) and established guitar repertoire by Sor and Carulli. Designed both to consolidate the areas of study covered in Guitar Basics and present new topics in the fun but clear style of the popular method book, Guitar Basics Repertoire introduces accidentals, moving up the neck, two part music, arpeggios and plucked chords, as well as fun extended techniques that even a beginner can master.

Guitar Basics Repertoire contains both solo and ensemble pieces, backing tracks for many of which are available below, and is the perfect companion to Guitar Basics whether being used for group teaching or to prepare students for graded examinations. Both solo and ensemble repertoire is included, with backing tracks and teachers’ parts for many pieces available to download online.
