I wanted to share a project of mine I've been working on and off for about 8 months. I've created 72 guitar arrangements as of the creation of this post. I expect to make more arrangements, albeit less frequently than before. These are fingerstyle arrangements, meant to be played on your own. The difficulty varies, but some of them are quite challenging to play at the correct tempo. You can view and download the PDFs on Dropbox hereThere are also video transcriptions* of all of the arrangements here* The video transcriptions initially started out as MIDI imported from Guitar Pro. After I switched to Sibelius (on the 27th arrangement, if you're curious), I also started experimenting with the instrumentation. I'm not sure what to call them - 'remixes' feels disproportionate to the amount of time I spent on them (usually an hour for each). Some of them I'm not too fond of, but I think their quality has improved over time.
I'm not proud of the visual quality of the notation of my early arrangements either, especially when I was using Guitar Pro. There are incorrect beam groupings, overlapping notes, etc. - just a mess, usually caused by fixating too much on the tablature when creating it. The PDFs are numbered so that the earliest arrangements are first.
Some of the arrangements I varied significantly from the source, like the Lavender Town one, but for most of them I decided to closely emulate the originals, with occasional slight variations and embellishments.
