In the Hall of the Mountain King is a great piece by Edvard Grieg that comes from the play, Peer Gynt. It’s always tough to make arrangements of orchestral pieces so for this one I follow the main melody in the piece. I included this arrangement in my second volume of easy arrangements. Here is an orchestral version of the piece…

What Wondrous Love
Beautiful hymn especially when it is sung with really good singers. For this I read from a lead sheet and added chords in here and there.
Enjoy and happy Easter!

House of the Rising Sun
Possibly my most favorite song, ever, of all-time. I love the version by The Animals. Who doesn’t?? Recently I have been listening to Bob Dylan’s version of the song which, I must say, is amazing. I have made a couple arrangements for solo guitar. It can be found in my Easy Arrangements, Vol. 1. You can listen to that arrangement here:
I have also made longer version that is a touch more difficult. It begins by playing the theme slowly…
The theme then moves to the bass…
Then to the upper voice…
Then I speed it up. First in triplets…
Tremolo….
and for the finale I switch it to strumming…
Here is me performing the full arrangement in concert a few weeks ago…
The full arrangement…
The arrangement is available here.

Heart and Soul
The song most piano teachers probably hate!! Haha. I was at a retreat this weekend and one of the kids was playing this song so I decided to learn it on the guitar. You can download the sheet music/tab here for free.
