There's a lot of good classical tabs available. Try GTU or just check out sheet music sellers on the web or your local store. Better yet, just search on Google and see what comes up. I've got a really good intermediate-level book of Bach music for guitar. They're out there.

If you're looking for classical music tabs, for like Bach, Beethoven, chopin etc. Check out this site.

http://alt.venus.co....tab/welcome.htm

It's THE best out there for classical tabs. I suggest you learn to play Moonlight sonata all the way through. In my opinion it's a very impressive song to learn well. It gets pretty tough at times, so don't expect to perfect it with in a day.

Good Luck! Classical guitar rules!

Yes classical guitar rules, I enjoy playing this piece 'Adelita' by Francisco Tarrega (it isn't on GTU... yet... I'll post it in a moment), this thing just moves me:

CODE
Theme 1 (minor):
----------------

E |-12-p11----7-----------|-10-p8---------------|-8-p7---------------|
B |----------------8------|----------7----------|---------------8----|
G |----------------9------|---------------9-----|---------8-----8----|
D |-----------------------|---------------10----|---------------7----|
A |-----------------------|-0-------------------|--------------------|
E |-0---------------------|---------------------|-7------------------|

E |-----------------0-------7--|-12-p11----7----------|-10-p8---------------|
B |-7h8p7-------0-------8------|----------------8-----|----------7----------|
G |---------9------------------|----------------9-----|---------------9-----|
D |----------------------------|----------------------|---------------10----|
A |----------------------------|----------------------|-0-------------------|
E |-----0----------------------|-0--------------------|---------------------|

E |-8--p7------------------|----------------------|
B |-----------------8------|-5--------------------|
G |----------8------8------|-4--------------------|
D |-----------------7------|-5--------------------|
A |------------------------|----------------------|
E |-7----------------------|--------0-------------|

Theme 2 (major):
----------------

E |-4---------7---------------|-4---------7---------------|
B |-------5---------5----7----|-------5---------5----7----|
G |-------4---------6---------|-------4---------6---------|
D |-------6-------------------|-------6-------------------|
A |-----------------0---------|-----------------0---------|
E |-0-------------------------|-0-------------------------|

E |-4----7----12----11--11h12p11---9---|-9h11p9----7----------------------|
B |------------------------------------|----------------10----7-----------|
G |-4-------------------------9--------|------8--------------------8------|
D |------------------------------------|------7-------------------------9-|
A |---------------------------9--------|----------------------------------|
E |-0----------------------------------|------7---------------------------|

E |-------0-------0--------|--------------------------------------|
B |-------0-------2--------|--------------------------------------|
G |------------------------|-1----4--/--13----8--9h11p9-----------|
D |-6--------9----2----4---|--------------------------8-------8---|
A |---------------0--------|--------------------------------------|
E |-0----------------------|-0------------------------8-----------|

E |---------------------------|-0----------------------|
B |---------------------4-----|-0----------------------|
G |----------6---4------2-----|-1----------------------|
D |-9--------7---6------4-----|-2----------------------|
A |---------------------2-----|------------------------|
E |-7-------------------------|--------0---------------|

Play theme 1 twice, then theme 2 and to round it off theme 1 once more.
Of course if you like it as much as I do, repeat ad infinitum.

This is a good classical guitar site, with pdf's and midi's for every piece, and also a description for every one. I'd recommend the Fernando Sor studies under the classical section.

Hi everyone,
I am learning to sight read at the moment and looking for lots of different pieces of music to play.
some of the stuff seems to be predominatley piano pieces which i am having trouble playing .
is it possible to transpose piano pieces over to guitar and how do you go around doing that.
i find quite a few on kazza so goodluck with your classical studies and its nice to see that its still cool to play.

It's possible to transpose just about any piece of music to guitar, especially piano pieces. That doesn't mean it will be easy. Among the potential problems is the fingerings on guitar. Since piano is set up as straight-forward stacked intervals it presents a challenge to arrange some piano music for the overlapping intervals on a guitar. It often takes trial and error. To confuse matters more often an alternative tuning will work best on guitar for certain arrangements.

Luckily there is an abundance of classical music already available for guitar. If you can't find a piece and want the challenge of transposing it yourself, it will likely take a lot of time and patience (two things I'm short on). Good luck!

Paganini's Sonata in C is a good one to learn- it's @ mysongbook.com and the venus site.
