REFACE
The first music I studied for guitar included folk songs, such as
Freight Train
. Later, I triedmy hand at classical music. This was a painful experience. Despite much persistence, I wasunable to read music. At the same time, I was easily learning folk music from tablature. Asan experiment, I translated
Étude in D
to tablature. Within a month I was playing the piecefluently.
Étude in D
is still one of my favorites. Another song I especially enjoy is the
Gymnopedie
, by Satie. I’m afraid I played this piece obsessively while I was learning it. Theother pieces are fairly easy, as I never progressed past the
advanced beginner 
stage. If youstudy any songs, and want to bring a smile to my face, send me some email. If you can readmusic, or would like to learn, I recommend Frederick Noad’s book onSolo Guitar Playing.T
