Bart Bosmans
Classical & fingerstyle guitar
Bart Bosmans is a classical & fingerstyle guitarist from Belgium. He’s been playing a string instrument for 25 years. He started with steel string in his teens. Later he was active as a bass player in various projects. Currently he’s focussing on classical and fingerstyle guitar pieces and composing his own music.
Guitar studies
My classical guitar studies cover pieces from every era. I try to focus on pieces by more unknown composers but also have a nice selection of the pieces everybody knows and loves.
A selection of fingerstyle arrangements arranged by me and others. I focus mainly on classic rock and popular music from the 60s to the 80s. Other arrangers will be linked and tabs are available where possible.
Original work
Estúdios Nostágicos are all original compositions written by Bart Bosmans. They are meant as a moment of piece and reflexion in an increasingly hectic and up tempo world.
Licks without picks is a series of short guitar pieces I’ve written. They are great for beginning guitar players to start learning basic picking patterns and chords changes.
