“You’ve Got a Friend in Me” – Movie Theme
A classic Disney / Pixar movie tune, “You’ve Got a Friend in Me” contains great melodies with a swung eighth note feel.
“Banana Pancakes” – Jack Johnson
I used ‘Poetic License’ on this arrangement and rewrote the melody to incorporate some ‘dreamy-esque’ chord changes.
“Family Guy Theme” – TV Show
Giggity! Family Guy is definitely one of the coolest TV theme’s around!
“Landslide” – Fleetwood Mac
“Landslide” is a great example of Travis Picking. Travis picking, named after Merle Travis, is a repetitive right hand picking pattern where the underlying chords continually change. Travis picking is great practice for fingerstyle playing.
“Hide Away” – Freddie King
“Hideaway” is an iconic blues guitar standard that every great player has covered. My interpretation weighs heavy on SRV’s version.

The song that inspired millions of people to pick up a guitar! And wow, it sounds just as cool on ukulele!

This arrangement of “What a Wonderful World” was written for the fingerstyle player in mind.
“She’s Always a Woman” – Billy Joel
This arrangement of “She’s Always a Woman” was written for the fingerstyle player in mind.
“In My Life” – The Beatles
