Guitar sheet music

Guitar sheet music here is grouped by the instrument names on each score rather than by a single genre. Highlighted scores include a Classical Guitar arrangement of Cavatina, a Guitar score of the Bourrée in E minor, BWV 996, and a multi-part arrangement of Stevie Wonder's Superstition that includes Bass Guitar. Because the collection depends on part names, read the part list, opening key, metre and tempo before choosing: those details describe the version in front of you, not necessarily a work's original instrumentation.

How scores enter this guitar collection

A score is grouped here when at least one named part contains guitar, regardless of letter case. That means a score may qualify through a Guitar part, a Classical Guitar part or a Bass Guitar part. A mention of guitar in the title alone does not qualify a score, and a score may list several other instruments alongside the guitar part.

Solo guitar and guitar within a larger score

The part list is the quickest way to tell what kind of guitar writing a score contains. Cavatina names one Classical Guitar part; the Bourrée in E minor, BWV 996 score names one Guitar part; Superstition names five parts including Bass Guitar. The first two are solo guitar scores in this collection, while the Stevie Wonder score is an ensemble arrangement with a bass guitar part.

Arrangement credits and original instrumentation

An arranger credit belongs to the particular score. Cavatina carries a credit for Stanley Myers with an arrangement by John Williams, so the score identifies an arrangement rather than only a composer. The Bach Bourrée score names Johann Sebastian Bach but supplies no separate arranger credit in the selected details; that does not prove the score matches Bach's original instrumentation.

Comparing keys, metre and tempo

Opening key, time signature and tempo help distinguish versions that share a title. Cavatina begins with four sharps in 3/4 at 80 BPM. The Bourrée in E minor, BWV 996 score begins with one sharp in 4/4 at 120 BPM. Superstition lists three flats, two flats and five flats across its parts, all in 4/4. Use these details to check that a score matches the version you have in mind.

Common questions

Where can I find guitar sheet music?

TuneViva has 3,264 guitar sheet music files whose imported part name includes guitar. Open a score to preview the notation, play it, and download the files that score offers.

What counts as guitar sheet music here?

A file is included only when an imported part name contains guitar. A title that mentions guitar, or a playback sound, is not enough. Files whose import did not record a part name are not on this page. The part name describes that file. It is not proof the work was first written for guitar.

Can I listen to guitar sheet music before I download it?

Yes. Open a guitar score to preview the notation and play it in the browser. Download the files that score offers after you have compared them.

Can I download guitar sheet music?

Open the guitar score first. The score page shows the files that score offers. TuneViva does not promise one file type for every score.

Is there guitar sheet music with lyrics?

506 of the files on this page include lyric text. Lyric text does not by itself show a vocal part. The score page shows that text when the file has it.

How do I practise guitar sheet music?

Open a guitar score and choose practise. Listen with Play, then play the matching keys on screen. Left and Right select the lower and upper staff, and you can change the playback tempo. Connect MIDI works in a compatible browser.

How do I find one guitar piece by name?

Use the work page for that catalogue name. This guitar page lists every file whose part name matches, so one piece can appear more than once. A genre page uses the single genre label stored on the file.

Is there beginner guitar sheet music?

Yes. It is not an examination result, and it is not every file on this page.

What kinds of guitar sheet music are in this collection?

The collection includes any score whose named parts contain the word guitar. Examples among the highlighted scores are a single Classical Guitar part for Cavatina, a single Guitar part for the Bourrée in E minor, BWV 996, and a Bass Guitar part in the five-part score of Stevie Wonder's Superstition. The common thread is the part name, not one style or one type of guitar.

Is the Bourrée in E minor, BWV 996, written for guitar?

The score titled J. S. Bach - Bourrée in E minor, BWV 996 lists one Guitar part, opens with one sharp and 4/4 time, and gives a tempo of 120 BPM. Those details describe this score and do not establish what instrument Bach originally intended. The score title and catalogue name connect it with the Suite in E minor, BWV 996.

What guitar arrangement of Cavatina is represented?

The Cavatina score lists a single Classical Guitar part in 3/4 time, with an opening key signature of four sharps and a tempo of 80 BPM. Its credit names Stanley Myers with an arrangement by John Williams. The available score details do not identify a larger source work beyond that title and credit.

Why does Superstition by Stevie Wonder appear as guitar sheet music?

The Superstition score lists five parts: Trumpet 1, Trumpet 2, Alto Sax, Trombone and Bass Guitar. It appears in this collection because one named part is Bass Guitar. The score is a multi-part arrangement rather than a solo guitar transcription.

How can I tell whether a score is for classical guitar or bass guitar?

The named score parts are the guide. Cavatina names Classical Guitar; the Bach Bourrée score names Guitar; Superstition names Bass Guitar. A part name describes that particular score and may not match the work's original instrumentation or the instrument you would use in another arrangement.

What keys and time signatures do these guitar scores open in?

Cavatina opens with four sharps in 3/4 at 80 BPM. The Bourrée in E minor, BWV 996 score opens with one sharp in 4/4 at 120 BPM. Superstition lists key signatures of three flats, two flats and five flats across its parts, all in 4/4.

What should I compare before choosing a guitar score?

Compare the named parts first: one Guitar or Classical Guitar part indicates a solo guitar score, while Bass Guitar within a larger part list indicates an ensemble score. Then compare the opening key, time signature and tempo. Cavatina and the Bach Bourrée differ in key, metre and tempo, and those details help you match a score to the version you need.
