In addition to composing my own music, I also enjoy arranging popular songs by other artists for solo fingerstyle guitar! Most of my arrangements are created in alternate tunings, such as DADGAD, Open G, DGDGAD, Open D, and more. All of the sheet music includes both traditional notation and tablature. I aim to make my arrangements enjoyable and engaging to play, while keeping the difficulty level accessible. Below is an alphabetized list of my arranged songs, along with a link to Sheet Music Plus where they can be purchased. By clicking on the Sheet Music image, you'll be directed to the YouTube video, where you can listen to me perform the arrangement.

Blue Bayou

by Roy Orbison

An arrangement in DGDGAD tuning of Blue Bayou by Roy Orbison.  Linda Ronstadt also had a hit with this song in 1977.  With a lovely  lilting 3+3+2 rhythm, this arrangement lies beautifully on the neck in this tuning.  Very soothing to play, and not very difficult at all.  I even added a small solo section in the middle consisting primarily of moving sixths.
