This is my slow-and-moody instrumental guitar arrangement of "All My Loving" by the Beatles. This has always been one of my favorite early Beatles tracks.
Musicians note: this arrangement plays the melody in two octaves, with the first two verses done low, then the final verse done an octave higher.
Here's my arrangement of "Here There And Everywhere" by the Beatles, from the 1966 album "Revolver."
This is dedicated to my friends Wilson and Laura, for whom I played this during their wedding ceremony.
This is my acoustic guitar arrangement of "Interstate Love Song" by Stone Temple Pilots -- one of my favorite songs from my high school days.
(Guitar players -- I do *not* have tab notation available. This is my own arrangement, and I haven't taken the time to transcribe it.)

This is my slightly improvised arrangement of "Till There Was You," from the musical "The Music Man," written by Meredith Wilson.

This is an attempt at a note-for-note cover of Django Reinhardt's "Improvisation #2," as it was originally recorded in 1938.

Here's a solo-guitar arrangement of "Tears" by Django Reinhardt.

For more of my '90s acoustic arrangements, check out my video of "Interstate Love Song."
