VGM arrangements for solo guitar?

[ms0k]

Hey all and everyone,

 

I recently started playing the guitar again after a long pause and I'd like to get back into the scene through video game music. I also play the piano and I feel lucky in the sense that there are loads of game music sheet books (and fan arrangements) for pianists, but the situation doesn't seem to be the same for guitarists. I've managed to find some official sheet books for guitar (one Mario, one Zelda, several Final Fantasy) and a couple of full-fledged fan arrangements. I'm asking here if anyone is aware of more playing material for solo guitar in form of sheet books or fan arrangements? By a good fan arrangements I mean something which has tabbed more than the lead part (bass notes and chord notes would be nice too).

 

I'd like to share a couple of fan arrangements I've managed to dug up:

Further recommendations to add to my collection are welcome!

 

EDIT: The Lost Painting arrangement is the work of a Japanese musician who goes by the name of lonlonjp on Youtube. You should check more of his work. Some of his arrangement might be available for free, but most are sold through a Japanese web store which is linked in video descriptions.

Currently 4931 transcriptions. A lot of them actually do seem pretty accurate. I think most of them are either guitar pro or powertab files, so that will give you tab and if you have the former software, sheet music as well. If you don't have guitar pro, "tuxguitar" is a free, open-source software that can import/export guitar pro files from versions 3 to 5. The vast majority of guitar pro files are gp5 so you should be good.

 

but seriously, just learn it by ear.
