Movie Themes for Classical Guitar 20 Popular Film Scores Arranged for Solo Guitar

While the book itself is great and I like audio access bonus that is included, the state of the book is not what I would expect for a new book. The back cover has clearly been folded up underneath and the book corners are scuffed and torn. I know it wasn't delivery damage as the packaging was undamaged, so this item was deliberately sent in this state. Sadly its too late to return or reorder before needed as a gift, very disappointing!

I've been playing guitar a fairly long time and have found many of the pieces have some pretty challenging areas. As a music reader, I find the tabs annoying but they're there for those who don't read. Not being one who watches recent movies, I don't know some of the tunes (they're in the library online played by the author) but but there are some pretty nice classics that are fairly familiar: Ashoken Farewell, Themes from The Godfather, Schindler's List, Lara's Theme, The Pink Panther and The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. I was hoping something from Lord of the Rings, or Fiddler on the Roof would've been included, but still there is some good fun music in here many would enjoy.

Like David’s last two volumes these arrangements take a bit of work and commitment but they reward the effort. All the voicing and harmonies work and they are extremely satisfying to play. There is a great selection of pieces and the book is worth the price for the arrangement of the love theme from Cinema Paradiso alone. David has also helpfully put some useful playing notes at the beginning and graded the pieces in terms of difficulty.
