Cinema Classics for Guitar [Alf:00-20203G]

Movie theme sheet music is something that has become more and more widely available for piano and melody instruments. This genre is particularly appealing to many musicians, mainly because the titles are so well known and instantly recognisable. That being said, up until now, guitar arrangements of movie themes have been very hard to come by. The reason for this is that film music is mostly written for large orchestras and is thought to be too challenging for ‘normal’ guitarists. We want to close this gap in guitarists’ repertoires with this edition of ‘Cinema Classics’. Creating these arrangements - some of which have been authorised of great movie composers such as John Williams, Ennio Morricone, John Barry, Michael Legrand and more -, has been a real lot of fun for me. All of the soundtrack titles in this book are portrayed in two versions. One version is the melody line only, in both TAB and standard notation, written with chord symbols and the lyrics, where applicable. The other version is a solo arrangement for classical guitar, again in both TAB and standard notation. On the accompanying CD are recordings of the solo arrangements which can be used as a play-along track for the melody versions. The skill levels for these pieces vary from easier two-part arrangements to medium level arrangements that are a little more complex. We wish you a lot of fun and enjoyment with ‘Cinema Classics: 12 Blockbuster Movie Themes for Guitar’.
