I am currently offering hundreds of my arrangements in notation and / or TAB to the public. Request a catalog by emailing me at edgarcruz@aol.com Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced levels. Thanks for all your comments!
WOW. this is outstanding. One of the only classical guitarists who isnt putting on show. just playing for the joy it. so well done. great song picks :) cv
splendid, magnificent... It´s what a man can do with the guitar, good influence for those who like to play, include me. from now on you will be classic, God bless you Edgar.
Arranging a song is an art in itself. Good arrangements are very difficult. Anyone can play the notes on another instrument, but doing well and keeping the original feel is the magic. He does it well. And define long time?
Now this guy is great. Why haven't we seen him on national TV? He'd be good on a lot of these late night shows to open their shows each night with some great acustics. Roy Clark and Chet were great too. Everybody knew these guys. Why didn't Edgar get his chance? Pity that sooooo many Entertainers are out there that can make the world happy with their entertainment skills. Yup...A pity of all the waste that folks could enjoy.
Edgar Cruz... One of Oklahoma's finest guitarists and esteemed local musicians. Edgar has wow'd audiences world-wide, with his unique style of musical creativity. A well known household name, and still going strong after many years in the music industry, Edgar is soon to be launching his newest CD, somewhere around December of 2014: "Cruzin With The Beatles". From what I'm understanding, this new CD will be a Must-Have, and a welcome addition to your Edgar Cruz musical collection. And NO, I'm not a plant, in fact, I've never had the pleasure of meeting the man, although, I hope to, one day.
forget what i said. Tommy Emmanuel is the man. I mean Edgar is pure genius, but Tommy Emmanuel has the feel that Edgar lacks. I heard just a handful of his music, and I fell in love with it. Thanks for the tip... You still rock though Edgar!!!
He's just too beasty, I mean dude has to be a cyborg. And I've been working on Bohemian with his DVD for about 4 months, I can play it through (not up to speed yet) and I have only oodles more respect for him. He is a real gift for guitarists to learn from.

The theme song from M*AS*H, and it's called Suicide Is Painless. Bobby Hutcherson does an wonderful jazz vibes/vibraphone version. By the way, this song actually has lyrics, thought the TV series used an instrumental version.
Just freakin' WOW! Dust in the Wind is underperformed or, like, actually not performed way too much. Am I making sense here? Beautiful clarity and perfection.

What are you talking about. He doesn't have bad taste, the song he chose are some of the greatest ever written. His rhythm is not poor as he is always on beat. And just because he makes it look hard doesn't mean he has no control.
