Arranger
Jim has been arranging music for the guitar since 1971 in
many categories and from many different instruments. In the
classical genre, he has chosen music from the lute, harpsichord,
piano, string quartet and orchestra. These arrangements have
been set as guitar solos, duos, trios as well as quartets. Besides
this category, he has made numerous arrangements of popular,
traditional, ethnic and Christmas songs as well as famous movie
and TV themes. All of these categories have several versions
of each song or piece in graded levels of difficulty. In this
way many levels of playing ability can be accommodated.
