PETER-BLACK-GUITARIST
COMPOSITIONS & ARRANGEMENTS
I first started writing songs and compositions when I was around 14 years old. I had joined an originals rock band who were just starting out. It was one of the most enjoyable experiences of my youth. My association with that band culminated with us having management, being looked at by record labels, and being the headline act in Local Rock clubs, as well as rubbing shoulders with other up and coming bands of the day like Skunk Anansie and the Smashing Pumpkins. My interest in music burgeoned during that time.

Over the years I have been involved in various song writing and compositional projects. I can write many different styles of music and I have a back catalogue of recordings of contemporary music styles and band projects. However most recently I have turned my hand to creating solo and duet compositions for the classical guitar and I have now completed my first opus. My first goal is to make these available to the public on video, score and recorded medium, soon.

The versatility of the Classical is quite amazing. Not only is it extremely evocative but so many styles feel at home on it. When I first heard famous popular songs on the Classical guitar, I was struck by how well the songs came across and how expressive such pieces could be. I had never had any lessons on how to arrange music when I was asked if I could play Robbie William’s Angels on classical guitar by a filmmaker who was considering using it in a film he was working on. That was the first song I ever arranged for Classical Guitar.

Subsequently I had people request songs for their weddings like ‘Make you feel my love’ by Bob Dylan and further popularised by Adele, and ‘All of Me’ by John Legend.

I soon realised how much I enjoyed hearing music from the pop, rock and jazz genres on Classical guitar. I have since immersed myself in my natural ability for arranging music, delicately recreating the songs for solo guitar and producing the scores, with videos to accompany them.

Feel free to contact me regarding commissioning a classical guitar arrangement of a song of your choice.

Have a listen to the music that I have composed and arranged below. Scores will be available very soon in the Music Shop.
