Listed here is a selection of my classical and steel-string guitar transcriptions. This page will be added to as more scores are produced. Some are original compositions and others are well known pieces. Most are in standard or DADGBE tuning, with the odd one in DADGAD, lute tuning or for 10-string guitar. Most are available in either standard notation or notation and TAB.
All scores are available in PDF format and are priced at £4.00 GBP individually or three scores for £10 GBP (payable via PayPal only). If you would like to buy a score, please send PayPal payment to zippymusic@btopenworld.com, stating the score(s) required and whether you require tablature or not. Alternatively, please get in touch via the contact page.
Bespoke transcriptions from an audio or video clip are priced individually. Please get in touch if you require a custom transcription.
