songs to learn on classical guitar?
im doing an audition on the 25th for a spot in a guitar class at my school, i will be playing on both an electric and classical guitar. i can get by on the electric guitar just fine already, but im not so sure about the classical. the most advanced peice i now is bach's bouree in E minor. and i need to learn sumthing else. so i need suggestions. i also want it to be somthing i wud enjoy playing. so id like the difficulty to be a bit above the bouree, and i wud really prefer somthing in a minor key please.
thank you
Update:i was thinking bachs air on the G string

Learn to enjoy the guitar from your own house or apartment with the Jamorama online class for guitar you will find it here https://tr.im/zsXGG .
One of many fascinating and helpful featuring that you will discover in the Jamorama course is the "Jam Songs ".As you feel the classes, they offer you page music to a song, and then 2 sound tracks to go along with the song.
The first sound track will have the guitar portion inside (so you are able to hear how it's designed to sound), and one other sound track has the tune with the guitar removed (so you can play with yourself!)
They manage the Jam Songs in a very easy to understand manner.
Jam Songs is just one of the countless points from Jamorama that could make understanding the guitar simple even for the novices (especially if there isn't a guitar instructor there to help you whenever you make mistakes).
Fur Elise is in A minor and it's fairly difficult on the guitar. www.FuzzyMonkeyTabs.com has a simple and an advanced version tabbed out nicely. They have videos of the guitar tab lighting up while a guitarist plays the song.
there are many people out there who doubt that they have the ability to play guitar, so let me tell you right away: your hands aren’t too big or too small, you’re not too young or too old, and it doesn’t matter if you want to play electric or acoustic. Read here https://tr.im/xXEP3
Everyone has their own challenges, but I’m confident that if you practice and put your mind to it, you can play the guitar.

There are plenty of sheet music for guitar there.
Choose the composer, see the pieces and listen to them. It ' s worth it.
