http://www.fuzzymonkeytabs.com I have this laid out very nicely at my site. This is my simplified version of Fur Elise by Beethoven. This guitar tablature is pretty easy to play and it’s a great classical song. Most of this song is repetition and the only difference between part 1 and part 1b is 6 extra notes at the beginning. Let me know what you think.

Check my new arabic acoustic recording:
This a song i made using arab, harmonic and phrygian dominant scales. also combining different techniques i know. its not really complex, i improvise in some parts. This a really fun song for me to play
Hope you like it.
Guitar is tuned: DADGBD a half tep down
Edit:
New info..
Well i have gotten many request for a tab and explanation of what did the song include. Im terrible for making tabs and dont have the time for it. As for how to get playing this style:
The style is focused on always using a constant note as the background ringing, also known as the drone note. In this case its D, it can be any. With the the note always ringing you play using the phrygian mode and the harmonic minor scale, which i think its called phrygian dominant scale, on a Normal tuned guitar it will look like this.
This is on E (it cant be moved anywhere on the fretboard)
e- 0 -1 4-5 …
b- 0-1-3
g–1-2
d- -0-2-3
a- 0-2-3
E- 0-1-4
Lastly i dont know anything o arabic stuff or indian in music. The idea and influence of this piece i got it from a song called home by dreamtheater, check it out if you want to get a feeling with the style

In music, interpretation or arrangement is either a rewriting of a piece of music with additional new material or a fleshing-out of a compositional sketch, such as a lead sheet, also refers to the process of a performer deciding how to perform music. The American Federation of Musicians defines arranging as “the art of preparing and adapting composition for presentation. An arrangement may include reharmonization, paraphrasing, or development of a composition, so that it fully represents the melodic, harmonic, and rhythmic structure”. Orchestration differs in that it is only adapting music for an orchestra or musical ensemble while arranging “involves adding compositional techniques, such as new thematic material for introductions, transitions, or modulations, and endings…Arranging is the art of giving an musical variety to the melody”.
A song can be recorded with a different arrangements. As well as different instruments, the tempo, time signature and key signature may be altered, sometimes drastically so. The end result is a song that retains familiar phrases and lyrics, but offers something new. This practice was particularly popular in the late 1940s, 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s… Well known examples of this include Joe Cocker’s version of The Beatles’ With a Little Help from My Friends, Ike And Tina Turner’s version of Creedence Clearwater Revival’s Proud Mary… The American group Vanilla Fudge and British group Yes based their early careers on radical arrangements of contemporary hits.
The guitar is a musical instrument with ancient roots that is used in a wide variety of musical styles. It typically has six strings, but four, seven, eight, ten, twelve and eighteen string guitars also exist. Guitars are recognized as one of the primary instruments in blues, country, flamenco, rock music, and many forms of pop. They can also be a solo classical instrument. Guitars may be played acoustically, where the tone is produced by vibration of the strings and modulated by the hollow body, or they may rely on an amplifier that can electronically manipulate tone. Such electric guitars were introduced in the 20th century and continue to have a profound influence on popular culture. Traditionally guitars have usually been constructed of combinations of various woods and strung with animal gut, or more recently, with either nylon or steel strings. Guitars are made and repaired by luthiers.
Before the development of the electric guitar and the use of synthetic materials, a guitar was defined as being an instrument having “a long, fretted neck, flat wooden soundboard, ribs, and a flat back, most often with incurved sides”. Instruments similar to the guitar have been popular for at least 5,000 years. The six string classical guitar first appeared in Spain but was itself the product of a long and complex history of diverse influences. Like virtually all other stringed European instruments, the guitar ultimately traces back thousands of years, via the Near East, to a common ancient origin from instruments then known in central Asia and India. It is distantly related with contemporary instruments such as the tanbur, setar, and the Indian sitar. The oldest known iconographic representation of an instrument displaying all the essential features of a guitar being played is a 3,300 year old stone carving of a Hittite bard. The modern word, guitar, was adopted into English from Spanish guitarra (German Gitarre, French Guitare), loaned from the Andalusian Arabic qitara and Latin cithara, which in turn was derived from the earlier Greek word kithara, which is related to Old Persian sihtar.
The modern guitar is descended from the Roman cithara brought by the Romans to Hispania around 40 AD, and further adapted and developed with the arrival of the four-string oud, brought by the Moors after their conquest of the Iberian peninsula in the 8th century. Elsewhere in Europe, the indigenous six-string Scandinavian lut (lute), had gained in popularity in areas of Viking incursions across the continent. Often depicted in carvings c. 800 AD, the Norse hero Gunther (also known as Gunnar), played a lute with his toes as he lay dying in a snake-pit, in the legend of Siegfried. By 1200 AD, the four string “guitar” had evolved into two types: the guitarra morisca (Moorish guitar) which had a rounded back, wide fingerboard and several soundholes, and the guitarra latina (Latin guitar) which resembled the modern guitar with one soundhole and a narrower neck.

Lyrics:
All the leaves are brown
and the sky is grey
I’ve been for a walk
on a winter’s day
I’d be safe and warm
if I was in L.A
California Dreamin’
on such a winter’s day
stopped into a church
I passed along the way
well, I got down on my knees
and I pretend to pray
you know the preacher likes the cold
he knows I’m gonna stay
California Dreamin’
on such a winter’s day
all the leaves are brown
and the sky is grey
I’ve been for a walk
on a winter’s day
if I didn’t tell her
I could leave today
California Dreamin’
on such a winter’s day x3

Minuet in G major (BWV Anh. 114) from the Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach , composed by Johann Sebastian Bach (some say, by Christian Petzold?)
This is probably one of those difficult easy pieces, easy to play at first glance, but tricky at a few particular places.
