Check out my YouTube channel for some of these recordings:
Wedding repertoire listed first, scroll down for full repertoire
Some pieces are better for concerts, but most fit well for any setting. You can pick every piece out of my repertoire for each section of the wedding, or leave sections of the wedding (ie prelude, recessional) for me to decide.
I have over seven hours of music to choose from. I like to play many different styles and have a wide palette of influences from Classical, Spanish, Latin guitar, gypsy jazz, to fingerstyle nylon and steel string guitar, to contemporary artists and pop icons like the Beatles, Jack Johnson, Elvis Presley, and John Mayer among many others.
These are pieces and songs I play most often. Some pieces not played at weddings unless requested. Not all pieces may be listed.
Music selection is divided into six categories. Classical/romantic, Spanish, South American, Latin/Jazz Fusion, Miscellaneous Jazz, Folk/blues, and contemporary.
Wedding Repertoire: Underlined pieces can be heard/seen on Youtube. I have over 7-8 hours of music under my fingertips, and have only recorded some of that huge repertoire myself. I have posted mine as well as other artists' Youtube videos to give an example of what certain works sound like on guitar.
