Moonlight Sonata on classical guitar

Very impressive! He had to improvise on some of the bass notes, but not a bad arrangement, except the last 2 notes! Pretty close! I wonder how long it took him to figure this out!

"Ball Game" practice file

I created an mp3 practice file for "Take Me Out to the Ball Game." The synthesized instruments sound cheesy, but listening or playing along will help you get the syncopations and jazz harmonies into your consciousness.

You can find a link on "current tunes" page, or you can get it here:
