Ferdinando Carulli was an Italian classical guitarist/ composer during the early part of the 19th century. This is one of his easier pieces that I arranged for 5 string banjo. I muted the bridge for more sustain.

Quite lovely. This expands the whole notion of what a banjo is, and what can be expressed on it.

A refreshing change Chuck!

Now I’m waiting for that pickin'on Carulli album.

Thanks, Laurence,, I actually thought of arranging a bunch of 19th century guitar pieces for the ol' 5.  I'll ruminate more before diving into all that (fun?) work.

I like the idea! I wouldn’t mind trying some of those pieces. Tarrega et al.

My son is a very skilled guitar student at conservatory I hear classic guitar pieces all day, from John Dowland to Villa Lobos… if you need some guitar sheet music ask freely! ;-)

Thank you, Paolo,, glad your son is passionate about guitar. I studied classical guitar for 8 years in the 1990's,, still have a bookshelf full of sheet music. I'm trying to get back into it a bit. Thnx again.
