Truman Sleeps performed by Robert Lunn

Score/tab: https://www.sheetmusicplus.com/title/truman-sleeps/22031867

This is an arrangement of the piece, Truman Sleeps, composed by Philip Glass that can be found in the movie, The Truman Show, starring Jim Carrey. I loved the movie and I have always loved this particular piece of music in the movie. Originally, it was composed for the piano.

For a long time I didn’t try arranging this piece because I figured it wouldn’t work. I tried it out in E minor a couple nights ago and was surprised that it worked! Philip Glass is one of my favorite composers and so it is nice to be able to play his music on the guitar.

SPARKLES – Cool Harp Harmonics – Full Tutorial With TAB – Fingerstyle Guitar

Posted on by

Harmonics are a cool effect on the guitar and I try to incorporate them as much as I can in my originals and arrangements. This etude I composed includes natural and artificial harmonics. It also includes a technique that I call, harp harmonics. It gives the impression of a harp.

These are all techniques commonly called extended techniques. Extended techniques involve producing sound with an instrument in an unorthodox way.

SMELLS LIKE TEEN SPIRIT – Nirvana – Full Tutorial with TAB – Fingerstyle Guitar

Posted on by
Smells Like Teen Spirit performed by Robert Lunn

Smells Like Teen Spirit is one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite bands. I remember being blown away the first time I heard the song. I was lucky to be able to see them in concert. I saw them in Kalamazoo, Michigan in the fall of 1993.

This was a tough arrangement to make. How do you make a solo guitar arrangement of this piece? I decided to transpose the key to E minor from the original key of F minor. The melodic line is so beautiful with the ostinato bass–it creates a bunch of suspensions.

PRELUDE Op. 28 No. 7 – Chopin – Full Tutorial with TAB – Fingerstyle Guitar

Posted on by
Prelude by Chopin Performed by Robert Lunn

Chopin is one of my favorite composers and it is too bad he was never asked to write for the guitar. I love the melancholy nature of his Nocturnes, I love the passion and virtuosity in his Etudes. His first Ballade is one of my all-time favorite pieces, ever.

I first heard this piece played by Andres Segovia many moons ago. I began making this transcription a few years ago and forgot about it. Last fall I found it and decided to finish the transcription. The original key is A Major.
