By The Candlelight Guitarist. By Bradley Powell. Classical,Country,Folk,Holiday,Jazz. Individual part. 8 pages. Geofonica Artistworks #1014684. Published by Geofonica Artistworks (A0.1434548).

In honor and tribute to a mother, this is an instrumental guitar solo (with optional lyrics included), as recorded by The Candlelight Guitarist, with music and lyrics composed by Bradley Powell. The piece seemlessly blends country, jazz, folk and classical guitar styles, and the lyrics are heartfelt, warm, loving and positive.
It's an intermediate level fingerstyle-classical guitar solo (comparable in difficulty to an easier Sor or Carcassi etude, or Beatle song played as intrumental solo). This sheet music is in Standard notation... (a version in Standard notation with TAB is also available). You can see Brad Powell's performance of the piece on the YouTube link provided below.

ABOUT the composer: Brad Powell (aka The Candlelight Guitarist) began guitar at age ten, inspired by The Beatles. At 15, he became a protégé of jazz guitarist Joe Pass, and later studied classical guitar under Vincent Macaluso, and at California State University, Northridge under Ronald Purcell, with a master class under Andrés Segovia. Brad was featured performing Gerald Wilson's Sonata for Guitar and Orchestra at the Hollywood Bowl, with the composer conducting. Brad was mentored in composition by David Rose (composer for Little House on the Prairie). Brad has composed music for TV, including Hill Street Blues and The 'A' Team, working with Mike Post. Brad has ten albums as The Candlelight Guitarist. When not making music, Brad is often out hiking with his four dogs. Brad also played as the solo guitarist for Disney's Princess Breakfast Adventure at Disney's Grand Californian Resort by Disneyland (March 2019-January 2024), providing music for the Disney Princesses (Belle, Tiana, Jasmine, Rapunzel, Mulan, Aurora, Ariel, Pocahontas, Cinderella, and their friends and guests).

By The Candlelight Guitarist. By Bradley Powell. Classical,Country,Folk,Jazz,New Age. Individual part. 4 pages. Geofonica Artistworks #1029225. Published by Geofonica Artistworks (A0.1449472).

A beautiful, soothing and serene fingerstyle guitar solo, in a modern folk-classical style, by Bradley Powell (The Candlelight Guitarist). It is mostly played in 1st position (a few spots higher on neck), using folk-country chord voicings, with some softer jazz major 7th, major 9th, minor 9th chords.  It is a fairly easy intermediate level piece (as far as technical difficulty), but can sound very professional as well. This sheet music is in Standard notation... (a version in Standard notation with TAB is also available).  Hear Brad's recording at the YouTube link below--NOTE: this piece is the FIRST of the two pieces in that video.

Solo Guitar - Level 1 - Digital Download

SKU: A0.921998

Composed by Numerous. Arranged by Robert Styles. Children,Folk,Pop,Standards,World. Individual part. 68 pages. Robert Styles #3562181. Published by Robert Styles (A0.921998).

This collection of music, which appears in four volumes, is designed to allow guitar players the opportunity to enjoy music of different cultures and styles. It includes Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic, Contemporary, Blues, Rock, Ragtime, Spanish, Flamenco, Brazilian, Eastern, Country and Western and Traditional Folk Music.

The music has been written and arranged to be played using the classical guitar technique, often referred to as ‘finger-picking’, and has been ordered according to degree of difficulty. These books contain solo, duet and ensemble guitar pieces allowing players to develop and enjoy both solo and ensemble performance skills. ‘Melodies for Beginners’ is, as the title suggests, a collection of melodies for beginners (step one to grade one). ‘Book One’ is of elementary to intermediate standard (grade one to grade four). ‘Book Two’ is of intermediate to a more advanced standard (grade four to proficiency).

I have been careful to make sure the music ‘Sits Comfortably Under the Fingers’. To this end suggested left-hand fingering has been included. Other interpretation markings have, in most cases, been omitted. Players are encouraged to use their own initiative and ideas based on the ‘feel’ of the music.

Happy music making.

However, a good time can be had by all by just taking them apart and playing around with them slowly and easily. The solos are written in standard notation and tablature with guitar accompaniment chords provided. Most but not all of the tunes found in this book were previously published in the book Good Medicine. This book has been revised and updated and the former book Good Medicine is out of print.
