The Chicken or simply Chicken is an instrumental funk tune composed by Pee Wee Ellis that was the B-side to James Brown's 1969 single The Popcorn. The tune gained greater exposure with versions by jazz bassist Jaco Pastorius.
Notable versions by Ellis or Pastorius include:

• Pee Wee Ellis versions, recorded and renamed as Chicken Soup by Dave Liebman in 1977
• a studio version by Jaco Pastorius, John Scofield and Kenwood Dennard
• Pastorius on the 1983 album Invitation recorded live in Japan with a big band that included Bob Mintzer (sax), Randy Brecker (tpt), Othello Molineaux (steel pans), Peter Erskine (drums), Don Alias (perc)
• Pastorius on the album The Birthday Concert recorded live on his 30th birthday in 1981 but only released posthumously in 1995

Since then it has become a jazz funk standard, with renditions by musicians including:

• Maceo Parker in the album Mo' Roots released in 1991, with Pee Wee Ellis (tenor sax), Steve Williamson (alto sax), Fred Wesley (trombone), Larry Goldings (keyboards), Rodney Jones (guitar), James Madison, Bill Stewart (drums), Kym Mazelle (vocals)
• Abraham Laboriel and Shepherd University professors
• Tommy Igoe & The Buddy Rich Big Band
• Breakestra
• Mats/Morgan Band at a faster tempo, with Jonas Knutsson playing saxophone

Key: Changed from B minor to A minor
Capo: 2 (If you want original key, but I wasn't a fan of capo 2; it felt like there was no bass notes.)

1. Arranged for guitar.
2. Piano pedal markings removed
3. Phrase markings removed and opted for commas.
4. Re-harmonized
5. Key changed from B minor to A minor.
6. Slurs
7. Left hand fingers
8. Tablature
9. Harmonics added when advantageous, but playing the regular note would work as well.
10. Piano pedal markings removed and replaced with commas. It's a flaw of sheet music that slurs, ties, and phrase markings are all the same symbol, and having all three happening can clutter a score.

Compromises

1. This may sound obvious, but of course I had to make some alterations to make this flow properly on guitar. Many of the original chord inversions on the piano were not kept. However, many harmonies were kept intact as far as following the chord nomenclature name.
2. Measure 50 was originally an A minor chord, the irony is that the F major suprise is an homage to Chopin anyways, suprised he didn't opt for it. To be honest, I don't like how there is a perfect authentic cadence in measure 50. I think modern audiences would want to clap too badly, so I believe that ending needs to be slightly messed up to propel the music forward, and give a sense that there is still a problem.
3. The other chord that was changed was an E7b9 to a Ddim7 in measure 78. If you know your theory well, you'll realize these chords have the same exact function and nearly the same notes, it's just that Ddim7 flowed a bit better on guitar. I'd rather have guitarists play the rhythms correctly and with musicality, than have guitarist clunkily go though overly large chords in order to mantain historical accuracy. 
4. Measure 15 was hard to keep the original chord intact. A Bb/D with a G in the melody as a suspension sounds more like a g minor chord. That is cliche Chopinesque neopolitan moment so the Bb is crucial to mantain. Having some rough sort of Bbmaj7 or G minor chord while mantaining the melody seemed to sound the best even though the name of the chord might have gotten a little off.

I tried chord charts, but they seemed messier than what it was worth. I also could have the denser tablature in the sheet music, but that does make it look 10x more intimidating. So this version is unique in that the tablature is my denser arrangement, whereas the sheet music would allow someone to quickly make a new arrangement. I like this ethos because most guitarists are likely to be much better at playing chord quickly when they don't have to have an exact voicing. This makes this arrangement easier to further perfect since I am naming the harmonies, which often isn't done in classical music.

Backstory
This is one of my favorite pieces, and also my favorite composer. I feel classical guitar repertoire is lacking easily playable music in the romantic style. Often, if it is romantic guitar music, it is extemely difficult and therefore only a select few can enjoy performing it. Also, I sometimes get my hopes up to find a romantic guitar composer, but then after listening, there's nothing quite like Chopin. Obviously, you will have to have some chops to play this since it's one of the most ambitious undertakings a guitarist could take, but it's also not so hard that you have to be train for a decade because I changed the key.

Obviously, there are lots of Happier Than Ever lead sheets and guitar tabs out there - after all, it's Billie Eilish's best song! Such a masterpiece with the quiet, very personal beginning and the powerful, hurt and angry second part. Despite looking for a while, I couldn't find a solo guitar music sheet as good as the piano versions out there. One that covers the whole song, doesn't stick with the easy chords like C and Fm, but goes with a more complex and beautiful Cadd9, Fm6/11 and such. So I came up with my own arrangement for solo guitar. It's an interesting mixture of strumming and fingerpicking worked out on 6 pages and so much fun to play. Not too hard, though, so you can also focus on the singing.

Composed by Chinese traditional. Arranged by Jack Evans. Folk,World. Guitar Tab. 9 pages. Jack Stanley Evans #6274353. Published by Jack Stanley Evans (A0.964321).

One of the most famous pieces of Chinese classical music, this composition was originally written for solo Pipa and has been popular since the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). It was previously known as Pipa of Xunyang, and Flute and Drum Music at Dusk, before it was given its current name in 1925. The name Moonlit Night on the Spring River is derived from a Tang Dynasty (618-907) poem by Zhang Ruoxu, which is very well regarded in China. The poem describes a scene of moonlight reflecting on the surface of a river in spring.

Moonlit Night on Spring River is written in a multi-sectional form, with each section noticeably different to the others but with some recurring phrases which tie the whole composition together. Although it was originally composed for pipa, this guitar arrangement is based on a version for guzheng, which is a relative of the guqin, but with 21 strings and moveable bridges. The tuning for this arrangement is DGBEAD, from the lowest to highest string. As with Moon Over Guan Mountain, this arrangement is scored one tone higher, as if the third and fourth strings have been detuned by a semitone. I used a mixture pick, fingers, and hybrid picking to play this arrangement, with the fast, single note lines played with a pick and the loud chordal passages with hybrid picking. The quieter sections use fingers only.

By Joe Cocker. By Billy Preston and Bruce Fisher. Arranged by John Rodney Ferguson. Pop,Rock. Guitar Tab. 9 pages. John Ferguson #3577921. Published by John Ferguson (A0.924516).

Guitar tablature and vocals for Joe Cocker’s acoustic version of ’You Are So Beautiful’ from his album ‘Organic’ released in October of 1996.

This was Cocker’s second version of the song as he had previously released a version with piano accompaniment in January 1975.

Billy Preston wrote You Are So Beautiful with one of his regular collaborators, Bruce Fischer. The song was first released in 1974 on Preston’s album ‘The Kids and Me.’ Some commentators say that Dennis Wilson of The Beach Boys also contributed to the song's genesis. Wilson performed the song live with the Beach Boys from the late 1970s onwards.
