Lament I for Guitar – Includes Sheet Music/TAB

Posted on by

I composed my Twelve Laments over a two-year period beginning in 2018. Each piece started as a short, one-minute sketch that I later developed into a full composition. Writing these works was a deeply personal and cathartic experience during a challenging time in my life.

From a musical standpoint, I wanted to explore keys I hadn’t written in before—such as E-flat minor—and push myself in new harmonic directions.

You can listen to all twelve Laments on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/3IgFWX1H15IcUtZTWabXUa?si=jt-jEpMNR7GHWNPludwssA

The score and TAB for Lament I are available on my website (click the image below). The piece is also included with a membership—learn more here: Become a Member

Tutku – With Sheet Music and Tab

Posted on by

I composed Tutku in October 2024. Tutku means “passion” in Turkish. I wanted to fill this piece up with as much passion as I could summon.

It makes use of my all-time favorite scale ever–the A harmonic minor scale which goes: A, B, C, D, E, F, G-sharp and back to A.

Score/tab is available at my website. It is also part of my membership. Click on the picture to learn more:

Twilight is No More (Free Sheet Music/TAB)

Posted on by

Twilight is No More is a piece I composed for the late-beginner to early-intermediate guitarist. It explores my favorite scale, the A harmonic minor scale. 

The piece is designed to help developing guitarists strengthen their arpeggios as well as scale passages, while also introducing them to the unique sound world of harmonic minor.

Dance of the Red Dragon performed by Robert Lunn

Dance of the Red Dragon is a piece I composed for a guitar student. I wanted to write a piece that was fairly easy to play and that used rasgueados. This piece was also designed to be played at different speeds depending on the students skill level.

MEDITATION – Homage to Arvo Pärt – Full Sheet Music/TAB – Robert Lunn – Classical Guitar

Meditation performed by Robert Lunn

I’ve always loved the music of Arvo Pärt. I first heard of him when I attended a concert by Anne-Sophie Mutter where she opened her concert with Fratres. I love the space in his music. Each note is important. His music touches me. This piece was inspired by his short piano piece called, Für Alina.

EBB AND FLOW (with Effects) – Full TAB – Robert Lunn -Classical Guitar

Ebb and Flow performed by Robert Lunn

Ebb and Flow comes from my Red Guitar Suite which I composed back in 2012-2013. The suite was inspired by my 1972 Ramirez. In this performance I added a delay effect as well as a slight modulation. When I perform it live I will often begin with an improvisation before going into the song which I may or may not use delay with. I think it works both ways.

Moroccan Nights – with TAB – Fingerstyle Guitar

Posted on by
Moroccan Nights performed by Robert Lunn

I composed Moroccan Nights using the double harmonic scale. The scale goes by a variety of names but what makes it stand out is that it has two large intervals in the scale called augmented 2nds.

I also use some basic rasgueados (strumming) in certain sections of the song as well as a different type of tremolo, compared to what most classical guitarists are used to.

THE DARKNESS BEHIND THE LIGHT – Full Tutorial with TAB – Fingerstyle Guitar

Posted on by
The Darkness Behind the Light performed by Robert Lunn

I composed The Darkness Behind the Light last year and is meant to be an etude for a late-beginner/early-intermediate guitar student. The piece consists of a melody (top voice) and bass voice (bottom) with an occasional inner voice.

While composing this I imagined a creepy scene (Halloween-ish) with a dark doorway full of mystery.

I hope you enjoy this teaching video. You can find other videos like this at my guitar school found at my website.
