5 Intermediate Songs For Classical Players - Lesson 15
I’ve always enjoyed classical/nylon string guitar music. I find it has a timeless quality to it, that while sometimes has it’s challenges it can be incredibly rewarding to learn and play.
The 5 songs below should be learnt is “projects”. They will test your playing and they can take some time to learn and even longer to “master”. But that’s all part of the journey!
1) Lagrima (Wonderful Spanish Classical Song that is only 16 bars long, but has some challenging fretting work) – Listen To The Song Here – Get The TAB To Lagrima Here
2) Cavatina – Theme To The Deer Hunter (In my opinion, the most challenging classical song on this list.) – Listen To The Song Here I play my version of Cavatina from a book called The Fingerpicking Guitar Bible
3) Malaguena – 7 Part lesson With TAB – Spanish Classical – Drue James
4) Romanza (The first part of this song is beginner friendly and I have a lesson for it here however where it turns into an intermediate song is in the second half. Lot’s of challenging fret stretches. To play this song at full speed is always something I’m striving for. Remember, accuracy first!) – Listen To The Song Here – Get The TAB to Romanza Here
5) Mi Favourita (Fun classical Italian song that will test progressing players) – Watch My Lesson + Get The TAB Here
Honourable Mentions:
Fur Elise – Beethoven – Classical Lesson
Sentimiento – Lizzie + Drue James Original Classical Song
