- Sound Files: You should download the computer generated sound files and listen to them a zillion times prior to tackling each song. If you’re on a computer, the sound files are to your right. If you’re on your phone, they’re down below in a separate widget.
- Standard Notation: In tablature we trust, but we like standard notation too. If you want copies without tablature, we can make that happen. It’s the modern world and we own software.
- What’s TuffAxe? It’s the chord-melody arrangement. Some people call it “fingerstyle.” It’s tough to play, and if you can do it, you’re “tuff” … that’s good.
- Multiple Voicing: Each piece of sheet music is designed to be played in at least four different ways. Level 5 and 6 material can have even more voicings.
- Our Books: We have pre-printed books waiting for you at the office. They’re for our students and have plenty of instruction not available online. Save your sanity and your printer and come buy one or all of them.
- Copyright: You’re welcome to use the sheets posted here in almost any way that quacks your duck. Don’t sell anything you find on this page or we’ll hunt you down and start dating your sister. Songs under copyright protection from the original composer aren’t posted and you’ll need to email to acquire a copy after a short discussion about your plans.
- Get a Teacher Ya Lunatic: Just because you find sheet music on the web, doesn’t mean you have the tools to make music. Get with a qualified instructor to create a decent skill set and stop wasting time gutting it out by yourself with internet downloads.

Book 4: Iconic Songs Worth Mastering
Modern songs you’ll spend significant time playing. Most are still under copyright protections to the original composer so we don’t post PDFs here. Should you like to tackle these songs, we’ll need to chat over email to get you started. Buying the pre-printed book will save your time, your printer, and your sanity. Stop by the shop (call first!), bring some cash (and a pretty girl), and let’s set you up for a healthy amount of musical aggravation and beauty. You’re lucky to know us. 😉

Lots More to Cluck About
Book 5 & 6: Multipart Arrangements
If there is no PDF, it’s modern song likely still under copyright protections to the original composer, so we can chat on email about how you can have a copy. Arrangements usually have 7 parts: Lyrics, Chords, Guitar Melodies, Arpeggios, Basslines, Percussion, and TuffAxe (fingerstyle chord-melody). In addition to the conductor’s score and sound file, individual parts have their own sheets and sound files available too.

- La Paloma PDF
- Lean on Me – Lyons

- Menuett Suite in G major & minor (but not really) PDF
- Of A’ the Airts the Wind Can Blaw PDF

So much more is on the way … but the secretary who puts these together in pretty little packages with bows is “a bit of a drinker” if ya know what I mean.
Book 7: Classical Guitar
- Classical Music Program: You’ll need a password, and it will eventually be posted HERE
Book 8: Christmas and Hanukkah
All these songs along with instruction not available online can be acquired in a pre-printed book. Come pick one up. If there is no PDF, it’s probably a modern song with copyright concerns, so we can chat about how you can have a copy over email.
