#THE GUY HOW TO#
My charts are in the form of chords and lyrics because I can just barely read guitar tablature, and I have neither the skill nor the patience to learn how to write it. All errors in everything else are definitely mine. Errors in both of the preceding categories, where they exist, are probably mine. I have no clue who did the preliminary arrangements - I wasn't interested in retaining that information when I started collecting, because I was doing these charts strictly for my own use. A few other songs (especially some of the newer ones) are probably equal parts transcription and derivation of versions I ran across on the 'net, then modified to suit myself. A few, such as "I Remember You" and "I've Told Every Little Star," credit the sources where I found them - they're here because I made changes, however minor. The vast majority of these songs are my own transcriptions and interpretations - but there are exceptions. (One such example is "Joanne" by Michael Nesmith - yeah, the guy from The Monkees.) Other songs (like "Maybe You'll Be There" by Jane Morgan, or the Glenn Miller instrumental "Cherokee") may be so obscure you have never have heard of them, much less actually ever heard them - they're just exceptionally cool songs, and great fun to play. Some of these songs are neither especially old nor classics. The same "Nobody else has 'em" reasoning applies to some female artists, too, such as Brenda Lee.

But I didn't find much Frank Sinatra or Tony Bennett or Mel Torme or even Dean Martin stuff on the 'net that had chords, when I looked. If you can, encourage more radio stations to play it, because there aren't all that many that do - and the buying public rarely buys anything they don't hear first, on the radio or elsewhere.Īs a male singer, I have always sung along with male-singer songs. And I encourage you to do exactly that, while you've still got the chance. So if you want to HEAR this music, you'll have to BUY the music - records, sheet music, CD's, whatever.

You can't reproduce it from what I provide for you here - I can't give you a melody, and you'll find no MP3 or Midi files on this site, now or ever. I'd like to clarify one important point, up front: the whole idea behind this site is to preserve the music it contains. And as of September 2011, to no one's surprise more than my own, there are now slightly more than 1,600 of them here. They are also songs that are rarely found elsewhere on the internet, which is why I transcribed them in the first place.

The songs in this collection are songs that I (as a fan) consider classics - most of them are, indeed, old classics. Welcome to The Guitarguy's Golden Classics
