This arrangement of La Campanella comes from my second volume of easy arrangements. You can find the rest of this teaching video on my website in my guitar school. This melody comes from Paganini’s second violin concerto.

Dee by Randy Rhoads
Dee is a piece written by Randy Rhoads and was included on the album, Blizzard of Ozz by Ozzy Osbourne. Beautiful piece of music that was written for his mother.

This is one of my favorite pieces. It’s an old English folk song that was eventually turned into a Christmas carol (What Child Is This). The full video can be found at my website in my guitar school area.

An Ode To You
This is an improvisation I did a year ago which Bhadra then added words to it.
Here are the lyrics: How could I not love your little ocean blue eyes?
How can I just not see the only sun which shone through, all those years of terrible grey skies? How could I not just love you… For all the times you’ve been there…
Mending all those broken strings of my heart…?
How could I not… … … Just love you?
Eyşan Unutamıyorum, Abana in Heaven, Godfather and More…
This is a practicing video. I turned the camera on and just started playing. No edits and I crashed and burned at the end of the Godfather theme. Here is the order:
Eyşan Unutamıyorum (0:07) This is a piece I started playing a few years ago when an Instagram friend suggested I make a guitar arrangement of it. It is now one of my favorite pieces to play.
Funky Soul Butter (1:42) This is a piece I composed a couple of years ago. I wrote a bass line to a dance track I wrote. I wondered if it would work on the guitar (it did) and the piece was written in a couple of days.
Abana in Heaven (4:43) This is a piece I arranged a two years ago. It was played a lot in the church that I go to and I love love love this melody.
A Beautiful Flower (6:56) I composed this piece two years ago. It started out as a musical cryptogram I composed out of the letters of a friends name. I will often compose pieces for friends birthdays based on the letters of their name. I loved this one so much that I gave it a different title.
The Godfather Theme (8:18) I remember watching these movies back in high school and was really struck by the music. I have been playing this theme since then. I also love that Slash (my favorite guitarist) plays this in his live shows.
