A nice, easy enough arrangement to sing along. In the video it’s my brother (on the left) who’s playing the vocal melody on guitar.
From The Start – Uke Laufey
Love Laufey ! A quick and easy lesson of the start (pun intended) of From The Start. In the coming days I’ll upload a few more uke tutos of Laufey songs.
Better half Of me – Solo arrangement
A nice arrangement of this song. It’s actually version two. I made a first version, gave it to a pupil but when we played it through it was simply to complicated and messy: too many notes! So here’s a better version: easy to intermediate.

Sarabande – Händel
In this famous Sarabande by Händel it’s nice to give the second beat of each measure a bit more emphasis by breaking the chord. So wherever possible, I written a few more notes on the second beat to do just that.

Un Pezzo Di Cielo In Più – La Fame Di Camilla
This one is tricky! The bass notes divide each measure in 3+3+2 while the melody floats independently above, so you have to stay concentrated to make it till the end.

Story Of My Life by One Direction – INTRO
Pupil Marit was asked to play for in the music lesson at her high school. It’s so old! It’s not easy!! And it’s super fast!!! So made a sort of playable version (the original has more guitars playing, and it’s a little hard to decide what to put in and what to leave out when playing it on one guitar).
Anyway, the trick to mastering this is to start slow, and be really sure about what you do. And then gradually build up the tempo. But never exceed your personal speed limit: so stay in control and don’t play it any faster than you can handle. When you start making mistakes, you’re going too fast. Slow down an
d play it without mistakes.
You can treat this little guitar lesson as a summary. Or as a game to test your level: practice with a metronome, and then try the video to see how far you get. I start at MM = 30 and end at MM = 120. Happy plucking!

Menuet I & II by Christian Petzold (1677-1733)
These are the famous two menuets from the music book for Anna Magdalena Bach. I arranged them for two guitar – very easy parts! – and put the score on the Free Scores and Tabs page of my website.
Three clicks before I start playing, so it’s actually a play along video!

Sarabande by G. F. Händel
This is an easy and attractive arrangement of the famous Sarabande by Händel: just the theme, just the melody+bass, enough to make it real but not so much that it gets out of reach for a beginner.
