Shenandoah is an old folk song that first appeared during the early 1800s. Over the years it has had a variety of different lyrics written to the melody. One common thread is they all refer to the Missouri River.
Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring was composed by J.S. Bach in 1723 and it comes from the Herz und Mund und Tat und Leben, BWV 147. I tried to make this arrangement as easy as possible. You commonly hear this song in weddings, Christmas and Easter services.
El Condor Pasa was composed by the Peruvian composer Daniel Alomia Robles in 1913. Simon and Garfunkel did an arrangement of this melody on their 1970 album, Bridge Over Troubled Water, which they called, El Condor Pasa (If I Could).
Jingle Bells was composed by James Lord Pierpont in 1857 and was originally composed as a drinking song with no connection to Christmas. It was until 20 to 30 years later did it start to be sung as a Christmas song.
Here is my arrangement of Over the Rainbow, the famous song in the 1939 movie, The Wizard of Oz. The song was composed by Harold Arlen and Yip Harburg. Of course, it was sung by Dorothy (Judy Garland). I had a huge crush on Dorothy when I first saw this in elementary school!

Silent Night is a beautiful Christmas song and one of my favorites. Silent Night was composed by Franz Gruber in 1818 for a Christmas Eve service. The organ was damaged because of a flood and so it was originally composed for voice with guitar accompaniment.
Tempest is a piece I composed last week aimed at the late-beginner level guitarist. It uses changing time signatures throughout that include 5/4, 4/4, and 3/4.

Chopin is one of my favorite composers and this is one of my favorite pieces. I’ve always wanted to be able to play this piece on the guitar. I tried to make this arrangement as easy as possible. I transposed it to A minor to try and limit the number of bar chords and I cut out some of the ornaments.
Chopin composed this piece in 1830 and it wasn’t published until after his death in 1870. He composed it for his sister.
I hope you enjoy this teaching video. You can find other videos like this at my guitar school found at my website.
