JAZZ TUNES ARRANGED FOR
SOLO GUITAR
Matt Craun
2003
This document is made freely available by the author for educational purposes and is not
to be resold. The music in this document represents the author’s interpretation of tunes to
illustrate principals of arrangement for jazz guitar.
To the player: The arrangements in this folio are designed to be “vanilla”, that is free
from embellishment and ornamentation in order to outline a chord-melody arrangement
as simply as possible. The tunes are intended to be played with additional embellishment
and personal expression as desired by the artist. The use of easy chord forms is meant to
illustrate a minimalist approach to jazz guitar arrangement, leaving room for further
improvisation and variations.
Enjoy!
