Beatles Classics On Classical Guitar

About this Album

  “Beatles Classics on Classical Guitar” is a union of 2 musical passions:  Timeless rock/pop music & solo fingerstyle guitar playing.  The Beatles were one of the main bands I grew up with and I’ve been humming the melodies of these songs for as long as I can remember.  After getting Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Classical Guitar Performance, I decided to “test the waters” of arranging rock/pop songs for solo classical guitar.  Many of these arrangements were tweaked over & over again for extended periods of time, and this CD is the fruit of those labors.

  These arrangements were completed over a 2.5 year span from late 2010 – mid 2013 (I completed over 75 arrangements of other songs in the meantime, due to client requests for my wedding gigs).  When deciding what songs to arrange, I strived to maintain a balance in every which way - Era, songwriter(s), tempo, and more.  Basically, I wanted to have a “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” for every “I Saw Her Standing There”.  This is also reflected in the track listing – I decided against ordering the songs chronologically in order to provide a more balanced listening experience. 

  I hope that you enjoy my classical guitar spin on these timeless songs.
