Recommend me some classical guitar pieces!

Sign in to disble this ad
I'm looking to be introduced to a lot of new pieces and performers for the classical guitar. I'm taking lessons at school here and am interested in it, considering doing a minor but I really just haven't heard a lot. If you guys could recommend some beginning/mid level pieces thatd be great. Please post clips!

Most classical pieces won't get you laid. This one just might: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=H90QqZi40MA

When I was studying guitar for a jazz guitarist, I played a song (jazz standard?) called "Lament", a nice slow jazz ballad. I just don't remember who wrote the song.

When he introduced the song to me, he said this was a song I could play on an acoustic guitar on the beach a summer night and most likely I would get some nice company... Unfortunately I have forgotten it, but perhaps you could learn another jazz ballad. They're slow and generally slow songs don't require monster technique either, just some chord knowledge.

EDIT: Found it on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XE4jF6M5BDA
It's played on an electric though, and less simply than how I played it back then, 14 years ago..

Dude I saw some kid on YouTube doing a Jaco tune on classical guitar and it was killer. As much as I don't like Jaco, Jaco on classical guitar is alright.

I think it was Portrait of Tracy.

I've been re-devoting myself to classical for the last three years and there are quite a few in my regular rotation that would be great for you.

One of the best places to start is by going to Eythorsson's site (linked below) and also Delcamp (get the first three or four volumes). Delcamp's are compiled according to difficulty. Some of the pieces that have been recommended and some that I am about to recommend are not in any of the Delcamp volumes nor the popular Eythorsson compilation either but those can be found without too much difficulty at the other links provided. In addition to the baroque and classical pieces, I'll also mention some of my favorite relatively easy Brazilian pieces.

Heitor Villa-Lobos: Choros
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAg8VHuXNKU (already mentioned)
Etude #1 (I play it every day)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DbtRa3JFf0I
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0wc3Bd3ulU

J.S. Bach: Prelude BWV 846, Courante BWV 1002, Minuet Anh. 132 from the Ana Magdalena Notebook (not the best version)

Zequinha de Abreu: Amando sobre o Mar

Miguel Llobet: El Noi de la Mare (Catalan folk song)
http://youtube.com/watch?v=ZHwL6wzMskA
http://youtube.com/watch?v=P4C_32CGgPo
http://youtube.com/watch?v=gHFxlYiY0Nc

Francisco Tarrega: Lagrima (among many others)
my favorite version is by David Martinez

Fernando Sor: All his studies but in particular Etude in D op. 35 no. 17 and Etude op. 60 no. 19

Leopold Weiss: Minuet

Kreiger: Menuett

Aguado: All the studies but particularly Egercicio 19

Carcassi: Etudes 3 & 4

Logy: Menuet in C Major, Gigue in A minor, Aria in A minor, Capriccio in A minor, Sarabande in A minor

Semenzato: Choros in A minor

Jose Luis Merlin: Joropo

Giuliani: Allegretto op. 30

Mertz: Landler op. 9 no. 4

Morin: Petite Etude

Campion: Prelude in D minor

Signorile: Summer Souvenir

Sagreras: Maria Luisa

Brescianello: Gigue

Here are links to some sources that fill in the missing blanks of the major available volumes.

Have fun!

P.S. Here are some that I am currently working towards.
J.S. Bach: BWV 995, 996, 998
Barrios: El Ultimo Tremolo, Julia Florida
Albeniz: Asturias
Villa-Lobos: Prelude #1, Recuerdos de Alhambra
Roland Dyens: Valse des Loges
Attila Zollier: The Birds and the Bees
Guimaraes (Pernambuco): Sons de Carrillhões
Lauro: Vals 3 (Natalia)
Jorge Morel: Danza Brasileira
