Handel’s Water Music consists of three orchestral suites he composed that was first played in 1717. For this arrangement I am using a theme from one of them. Handel was a contemporary of Bach. In fact, they were born in the same year. Unlike Bach, Handel, during his lifetime, was a very well-known and financially successful composer.

RECUERDOS DE LA ALHAMBRA – Tarrega – Easy Arr. (no tremolo) – Tutorial with TAB – Fingerstyle Guitar
Recuerdos de la Alhambra by Francisco Tarrega is a beautiful piece of music that has been performed by the top guitarists from the last 100 years. The original uses the technique, tremolo, which can be a difficult technique to play. In this arrangement I have stripped away the tremolo in an effort to try and make it as easy as possible to play. I also tried to limit large stretches as well as limited my use of barre chords. Still not super easy to play but certainly easier than the original.
