Description

Fingerpicking Standards is a beautifully arranged collection designed for intermediate-level guitarists who want to master solo fingerstyle technique. Featuring 17 timeless standards, each arrangement blends melody and harmony into a complete performance piece, carefully notated in both standard notation and tablature for clarity and precision. This book begins with an introduction to basic fingerstyle guitar, making it accessible to players transitioning into solo arrangements. The pieces are selected to showcase classic jazz, pop, and standard repertoire, giving guitarists a rich variety of songs to learn, enjoy, and perform. Each arrangement captures the essence of the original while remaining approachable for advancing players. With 48 pages of music, this collection is both practical and inspiring. Teachers will find it a valuable music teacher resource for private lessons or classroom instruction, while students will appreciate the clear notation and rewarding sound of each piece. It also makes a thoughtful gift for pianists who want to explore guitar arrangements or for guitarists expanding their music library with accessible standards. Songs Included: Can't Help Falling In Love Fly Me To The Moon (In Other Words) Georgia On My Mind I Could Write A Book I Just Called To Say I Love You I've Grown Accustomed To Her Face In A Sentimental Mood Just The Way You Are Misty Moon River My Favorite Things Unchained Melody The Way We Were What A Wonderful World When I Fall In Love Yesterday You Are So Beautiful.

    • Good book!
Format: Paperback
I am new to guitar, but have played piano and handbells for years. I found the songs varied in difficulty, so provided a good way to improve my fingerpicking skills and I've enjoyed the arrangements, too. With practice, I could play a couple early on, and can't yet play others. Good selection of music, too. Highly recommend, either for practicing fingerpicking or to add to your repertoire. ... show more

    • My favorite
Format: Paperback
This may be my favorite song book. Of the dozens and dozens (and dozens)I own, this book gets the most use. Almost every page is dog eared. Fun fingerpicking arrangements of familiar songs. .

    • Fun series for practice and learning
Format: Paperback
I'm a beginning guitarist and a fan of the beginning-intermediate Fingerpicking series by Hal Leonard. I own several of their titles and have used them regularly for fun and practice. The Fingerpicking standards book is probably my second favorite to the Fingerpicking Pop edition. The songs are nicely arranged even though simplistic. At times the arrangements can be redundant because it re-uses the same arpeggio for nearly all the songs but it is a great way to get practice in while learning a few songs. I highly recommend this book and the series to beginning guitarists or perhaps more advanced guitarists looking to use their creativity to tweak the arrangements themselves. Advanced guitarists looking for fingerstyle masterpieces will have to look elsewhere. ... show more

    • Easy Arrangements
Format: Kindle
Pretty songs, romantic, sentimental and nostalgic. The arrangements are pretty dumbed down but there is plenty of room for embellishments; arpeggios, passing chords and mixolydian runs. I would use these for a restaurant gig, quiet dinner music for an older clientele Might be too mellow for some.

    • SImple for beginners, easy for intermediate to build on
Format: Paperback
I've been pickin' for several years, so the book is fairly basic to me. But it provides a basis for building my own arrangements. I'd recommend it to others. The selection of songs is pretty good.
