What a Wonderful World is a beautiful song composed by Bob Thiele and George David Weiss and sung by the great jazz trumpeter/singer, Louis Armstrong.
I first heard this song from the movie, Good Morning, Vietnam. This is one of those perfect songs. Perfect melody, perfect words and perfect singer for this song.

This is one of my favorite songs and works well as solo guitar piece, song with vocals and in a big band setting. The music was composed by the Brazilian composer, Luiz Bonfá.

I have always loved this piece. I first heard it in a music appreciation class in college with a countertenor (first time I had heard that) and a lute. John Dowland originally composed as an instrumental with the title, Lachrimae Pavane.
I’ve always loved Julian Bream’s version of this and if you haven’t heard it before I would recommend checking it out.
I tried to keep this arrangement as easy as possible while still keeping the integrity of the song.

Scarborough Fair is an old traditional English Ballad and nobody knows who actually composed the piece. I’ve always loved the version by Simon and Garfunkel and their recording inspired me to make a solo guitar arrangement of the melody. I have two versions of this melody: a harder version and this easier version.
