Lady Madonna Finger-style Guitar
Another one off my Beatles finger-style album. A Paul tune that was released as a single. I decided to follow Paul's "scat" vocal line instead of Ronnie Scott's sax solo, which would have been tough. This one is difficult just from the speed of the bass line.
Don't Know Why Finger-style Guitar Arrangement
A great Nora Jones tune set to guitar!
Have I Told You Lately that I Love You / Finger-style Guitar
My Finger-style Guitar arrangement of "Have I told You Lately that I Love You". A Rod Stewart Song.
Life on Mars Finger-style Guitar
My arrangement of a David Bowie song. This is an all time great song, and an adventurous piece for me. I included melodies from the lyrics, guitars and strings along with a driving bass to keep it flowing.
Eight Days a Week / Norwegian Wood Finger-style Guitar
I tried to work in as much of Pauls Bass line as i could through Eight Days a Week. For Norwegian Wood I am using a strum style used in Hawaiian Ukulele music. These songs are on my Finger-style Beatles album available on Itunes/applemusic
Waiting in Vain Finger-style Guitar
My arrangement of a great Bob Marley song!
The First Noel

Going to California Finger-style Guitar Arrangement
One of my all-time favorite Led Zeppelin tunes. Been playing this one for a while now, usually do jam in the middle, but decided to keep it short and tight.
