My Classical Guitar Tabs
Classical guitar, also called Spanish guitar, is a wonderful Musical instrument. Classical guitar has three steel strings and three nylon strings for bass, unlike six steel strings in regular guitars. This instrument is played with bare fingers without using Plucktrum. When I started learning guitar in my favorite Musical school, 3B School of Music, Chennai, I never knew about Classical guitar. I was very much impressed by the sound it creates, when I saw other students playing it in my school. In a single instrument, you can listen 2 to 3 tracks.
Classical guitar provides same music like piano, a melody line and a bass. There are many similarities between Piano and Classical guitar. One main and interesting similarity is the Score or the musical writing, Piano has, as I said two tracks of melody and bass. Score of Classical guitar, merges the both into one link but the player knows the difference and he plays similar music.
About my Music School:
3B School of Music; 3B is the short form of calling three great composers of western music they are Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven and Johannes Brahms. The school is situated in Southern Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. 3B School of Music, teaches western instruments like Guitar, Classical Guitar, Keyboard, and Violin with Indian instruments like Mridangam, tabla and also dance and vocal.
Basic Notes:
Music, Human's greatest discovery, without having link with various parts of the world, all types of musical scale has seven notes! It is not a discovery that one or a group of people sat and framed the seven scales. Individually in many parts of the world, separately invented this art. However, all follow the same seven notes. Only difference is, how the seven notes are read.
In India the origin of Solfege is found in Vedic texts like Upanishads, It sounds like Sa, Re, Ga, Ma, Pa, Dha, Ne. Some other places it is directly used as English alphabets C, D, E, F, G, A, B. Other places as Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Ti. and so on,
Web Resources;
I found a web site on the net, a wonderful resource for learning. The Classical Guitar Tab [ http://www.classtab.org] site. It is an archive of many composers of all time. I too had the opportunity to contribute in that site, which I would like to share with you. It is like an ocean of archives comprising composers from many countries. Some of my contributions in the site are:
Edward Hagerup Grieg (1843-1907)
Op 46 - Peer Gynt, Suite No 1 - Morning Mood - MIDI - [easy]
Jean Paul Martini (1741 - 1816)
Plaisir d' Amour - MIDI - [easy]
anonymous / traditional
Incomparable - MIDI - [easy]
Above Transcriptions are also available in http://www.ultimate-guitar.com site.

more to come in future :)
An easy way to memorize the Seven notes is nicely written in one lyric in the movie,
"The Sound of Music" .
Doe, a deer, a female deer.
Ray, a drop of golden sun.
Me, a name I call myself.
Far, a long, long way to run.
Sew, a needle pulling thread,
La, a note to follow sew,
Tea, a drink with jam and bread!
That will bring us back to do oh-oh-oh!
So, do, la, fa, me, do, re.
So, do, la, ti, do, re, do.
When you know the notes to sing,
You can sing most anything!
Doe, a deer, a female deer.

Sew, a needle pulling thread,

Hey Blogger. Very nice blog :0) I just got inside from washing and waxing my truck. It is my baby. Took me 2 hours though. So I settled down into my basement and started doing some web surfing. Anyways I am in the process of grabbing my masters degree and have spent the last 6 months researching beginner guitar. In the midst of my surfing I landed smack dab in the middle of your blog. I hope you do not think I am intruding but I must say it is great blog. Even though My Classical Guitar Tabs is way off base from beginner guitar I found myself cruising through your blog archives for the last half hour :0) You have some nice blogging friends. Anyways, I need to get back to my mission. I wrote don’t your url and feel free to visit me here at beginner guitar. I am so busy so I can only update my site monthly. Keep up the great work.
