I'm a fair acoustic fingerstyle guitarist with a classical style. I have about 20 mins of old material which i can work up - Freylekh (clive carrol arr), Anji, and i'm working on autumn leaves (again clive carrol arr). I've also got some classical stuff - Lagrima, Cavatina, Romanza and Capricho Arabe which are fine albeit need work to get to performance standard
I need to bulk out to about 40 mins I guess - so i'm after nice arrangements of intermediate stuff - no more grade 7+ as it'll kill me getting a set together - and anyway i'm in a band rawking out so am not a full time classical-head.
so i'm after links to nice arrangements (with Tab) or books with nice arrangements (audio and tab a must) - intermediate as i said - Jazz standards, pop tunes, etc
I'm also thinking about lobbing in classical gas
Comments
i used to do Cavatina and Cats as well, and I had a book that had arrangements for musicals, which included the Theme from Arthur which works surprisingly well,
there’s a few fingerpicking books out there for Simon & Garfunkel and the Beatles. Blackbird obviously and Yesterday works well too.
ive been playing some Muddy Waters stuff recently, that works quite nicely for a different feel
good luck

This is a nice little arrangement of a familiar tune and probably not too difficult bearing in mind what you are already playing
Georgia On My Mind - Martin Taylor version. there is a simpler Russ Shipton version of this.
Another in the same vein but a little more of a challenge is the Jerry Reed tune Yes Ma'am
It works equally well on acoustic guitar (thumb pick again optional)
Lighthearted in a similar way to Mnah Mnah is The Pink Panther Theme which works well for guitar.
Tommy Emmanuel’s Angelina is a pretty melody and not too challenging.
Scott Joplin’s The Entertainer also works well for fingerstyle guitar.
Maybe some Beatles songs? Quite a few possibilities from up-tempo songs like She’s A Woman combining rhythm and lead lines to their prettier songs like Michelle.
So many possibilities, so little time
you can buy the book
