The post Customizable staff paper first appeared on Guitar Musings.]]>My Daughter is taking guitar lessons and she was assigned to write a little song and write it out in standard notation.  I knew that I could get staff paper from the Internet in PDF or gif/jpg format but I stumbled upon a site that gave me even more options.

The site that I found is www.blanksheetmusic.net.  There, you can customize your staves to fit your needs.  First, you start with a blank sheet and go from there.  There are options to add more staves and connect them for piano or ensemble pieces and to add add tab to your project.  One feature that I liked, in particular, was the ability to adjust the size of my staves.  In my case, I needed to enlarge it to make it easier for her to write her piece.  Once you are finished with the customization, they give you the option to save it for future use (requires registration).  If you don’t need/want to customize, they have pre-configured staff paper available for you to use as well.  It’s as easy as customize and print.  I great resource for any songwriter.

The post Eythorsson Guitar School first appeared on Guitar Musings.]]>In my conversations with guitarists over the years I have mentioned a web site that I thought was well known but maybe not as much as I thought.  The site that I am talking about his the Eythorsson Guitar School web.  Based in Iceland, Eythorsson offers an incredible amount of free classical guitar music for people to download.  From studies to sonatas, ensembles to duets, there is something for all to enjoy.  The catch is that the music has to be in the public domain for it to be on the web and free.  You will find works of Sor, Bach, Carcassi, Scarlatti, Tarrega, etc…  I have dabbled with Classical throughout my trials as a guitarist and I have found they studies and methods have helped a great deal, especially with working on the independence of my thumb and learning new voices for my writing.  I haven’t worked on too many of the solo pieces but I did download some of the Scarlatti sontas and they were arranged wonderfully.  Too bad my playing couldn’t do them justice.

I have been using this site as resource for as long as I can remember and am surprised how much it has grown over the years to have such a library of music.  Check it out and see what you think.
