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

Over the last couple of years I composed 12 laments for guitar. I recorded them this past summer…

You can listen to them by clicking on the album cover above. The score/tab is available for free at my website.

Side note…last week we got 18 inches of snow where I live in Michigan. That alone makes me want to compose laments. There are still leaves on the trees!! To make matters worse, Facebook reminded me that I had played golf on this day two years ago. I am just hoping to play one more round of golf before 2019 is over. Chances are slim…
