In the case of arrangements, just go to your typical online music store, but then again, you can never tell with arrangements how good it's going to be. edit: Actually, since you mention Pachabel Canon in D, you probably mean arrangements. Oh yeah, and probably you'd want to start with an etude book or two--IIRC classical guitar techniques are a different world of guitar playing...right? And that'd be happy 100 b-day for Shostakovich too. | ||

Not many composers wrote for guitar, you know. Here is an incomplete list on Wikipedia, but as you can see, there's not really that much. And most of the pieces from the 20th century I'd imagine to be quite difficult. In the case of arrangements, just go to your typical online music store, but then again, you can never tell with arrangements how good it's going to be. I have seen at least 10 concerts for classical guitar, even whole concerto pieces. Guitar probably doesn't have an extensive list of players from older eras, but as for the 20th and 21st century, guitar composers are probably up there in variety and amount. There are MANY composers for classical guitar these days. Like above said, classical guitar is hard to learn... That's why you see so many rockers and guys who go electric, because there is less skill (relatively speaking) to play an electric guitar. | ||

But yeah, you can really see the explosion in guitar music and composers on the Wikipedia list. Being ignorant of guitar music, I'd bring up the Wikipedia list of selected standard contemporary repertoire here as a representation of what somebody or somebodies consider worthwhile. Beats me though, sorry. | ||

Guitarpro has a nice feature though - you can convert Powertabs into Guitarpro tabs using the File->Import->Powertab. So, just download the powertabs, and convert them over to Guitarpro tabs, and you're all set! | ||
