I've started liking alot of classical music recently, not just guitar, but all sorts. I was wondering what some good songs would be to learn. I've gotten a great version of greensleeves, but thats all so far. I thought this forum would be more apropriate for this topic than Guitar Q&A.

any post are apreciated, thanks.

I was also thinking about tinkering with the classical(mainly as practice on learning all the notes on the fretboard), but I was wondering, would it sound "right" if I was using a regular guitar....a cut-away at that? If so, are there any "basic" classical songs that aren't too hard?

I am trying to learn classical gass now, but that is a little above my head for the time being...but I am learing.

Thanks

I have a pretty nice version of "Greensleaves" I tabbed too that you might like (and a few others too in a similar style). I'll copy it here....... (it'll copy to Notepad using Courier New Regular 10-Font and not be so jacked-around looking).....

CODE

Greensleaves
Traditional

Key of D (Dm) Fingerstyle, in Dropped-D (DADGBE)

(Intro) Hold a partial-D (000230 using your index and ring)
       use your middle then index to "walk" the 5-string
       into the partial A7 (X0202X), "rolling" as you go.

E)--------0---------0-------0----------------0------

G)------2---------2-------0--------0-------0------0-
D)--0-----------------------------0-------2-------2-
A)------------3--------2-------1---------0--------0-
D)--------------------------------------------------

In the tab-lines below are shown a chord position in brackets [X]
across the tab-staff with an ^ and (hold) below it. This is not  
necessarily a chord to be played. To me, the passage following it  
is much easier to play if it is started from that "hold position".

depending on how long  you want the tune to be.)

And, should you want them.........


Greensleaves -Traditional

Alas, my love, you do me wrong
To cast me off discourteously
For I have loved you well and long
Delighting in your company.

(Bridge Verse)

Greensleaves was all my joy
Greensleaves was my delight
Greensleaves was my heart of gold
And who but my Lady Greensleaves.

Your vows you've broken, like my heart
Oh, why did you so enrapture me?
Now I remain in a world apart
But my heart remains in captivity.

I have been ready at your hand
To grant whatever you would crave
I have both wagered life and land
Your love and good-will for to have.

If you intend thus to disdain
It does the more enrapture me
And even so, I still remain
A lover in captivity.

My men were clothed all in green
And they did ever wait on thee
All this was gallant to be seen
And yet thou wouldst not love me.

Thou couldst desire no earthly thing
but still thou hadst it readily.
Thy music still to play and sing
And yet thou wouldst not love me.

Well, I will pray to God on high
that thou my constancy mayst see
And that yet once before I die
Thou wilt vouchsafe to love me.

Ah, Greensleaves, now farewell, adieu
To God I pray to prosper thee
For I am still thy lover true
Come once again and love me.

(Bridge Verse)

Greensleaves was all my joy
Greensleaves was my delight
Greensleaves was my heart of gold
And who but my Lady Greensleaves.

Hey I've heard that greensleeves song, it's pretty coo
Im gonna learn how to play that.

I was also thinking about tinkering with the classical(mainly as practice on learning all the notes on the fretboard), but I was wondering, would it sound "right" if I was using a regular guitar....a cut-away at that? If so, are there any "basic" classical songs that aren't too hard?

Of course you can play classical style on a steel-string guitar.....just ask John Renbourn and Leo Kottke.

I don't know who they are but I assume that they do what I was asking about

Thanks...I was looking into some classical stuff....looks like a lot of knowing exactly when to switch notes...like sustaining one until the next.

I have only seen one person who played guitar(classical) in person, it looked a lot harder than strumming...btu what doesn't kill you makes you stronger right?

[goldrush]

Yeah they are two of my all-time favorite acoustic guitarists who have done classical pieces on steel-string guitars. You're right, the sustain of a steel-string is a factor when playing some classical pieces, but sometimes the jingle-jangle of steel can add to a piece. You'll know when something sounds good and when you'll need to compensate.

[evileye]

Listen to Pachabel's cannon as preformed by Michael Hedges. Now THAT is classical guitar...

That's good. You can find it at classical guitar tab site shown earlier.

[crimescenechalksketch]

Thanks for the tab site, yellowdart. I went to your sound click, but only had time to listen to your Dee. and thanks for that version of greensleeves Dadfad, It looks pretty awesome, although i haven;t been able to try it yet.
