Classical Guitar Music

by Bert Alink

Welcome to my Website.

This site is dedicated to music played on classical guitar. That does not mean that most music is classical. A big part of the music you'll find here will be from Latin America, but another part will indeed be classical

I also enjoy making my own compositions for the guitar. So, apart from the music that's written by other (and probably better) composers, I will also add my own music and some arrangements I've made. For the pieces I have written myself, I have the score along with the mp3. The same goes for the arrangements. Sometimes there are also tabs for a piece.

I hope to upload new pieces at a regular basis, but time is always a problem and I also have to be satisfied with the recording, which doesn't always happen.

About mp3s

There are now 48 songs on soundclick, so it's getting busier and busier there. I'm putting everything new on there, though some older pieces are still on the server of this site. For downloading those MP3s you can use the right mouse button (when you're left handed, take the left). Choose "Save Target As…" from the menu. Now the MP3 can be stored on your hard disk.

Printing

I started to add scores in pdf-format. To read these, you will need Adobe Acrobat Reader.

Renewal of the site

On the 3rd of February this site has been completely renewed, that is, the layout is changed, the content isn't. The site can be viewed best at a screen resolution of 1024x768 or better. I developed and tested it with Firefox, I also tested it with IE, chrome and safari. If you have any comments about the new site, please let me know.
