O’Carolan’s Dream (Melody) for Classical Guitar by Turlough O’Carolan (1670-1738) with performance, lesson, and pdf sheet music. This comes from my sheet music edition Grade 1 Repertoire Supplement for Classical Guitar. Contains 10 works at the grade 1 level and is designed as extra repertoire for students who have completed my Volume 1 and 2 method books and specifically my Repertoire Lessons Grade 1. Here is the YouTube link if you want to watch it there.
O’Carolan’s Dream is originally for Baroque harp and, although classical guitarists often add additional bass notes to melody arrangements, this melody offers a good opportunity to work on upper position reading, intro barres, and fingering concepts. It also has a nice simple melody to work on your legato and phrasing skills.
