The American Guitar Collection
In
19th Century America, guitarists, composers and publishers were all very busy
producing guitar sheet music of all kinds. From classical
compositions, to jigs, reels, songs, arrangements
and even transcriptions from operas for solo
guitar. We are now making much of this often forgotten
American sheet music for guitar
available again.
Included are two unique collections of what may be the earliest arrangements for guitar of Sousa marches, and Stephen Fosters own arrangements of his classic songs for guitar accompaniment.
This page also has large collections of old sheet music and instruction books for banjo, mandolin and ukulele.

The Guitar Music of
Charles De Janon (1834-1911)
Charles De Janon was born in Cartegena, Columbia and his family emigrated to New York when he was six years old.
He studied both the violin and piano, but at age nine took up the guitar. This was a good choice for him because he went on to become one of America's most important guitarists from the mid to late 19th century.
He was known by many to be a bit of a child prodigy when he began to compose and publish various works for guitar as a teenager.
