About
The Philippine Guitar preserves and shares the musical heritage of the Philippines through professional guitar arrangements — kundimans, folk songs, patriotic music, and traditional melodies, transcribed for guitarists worldwide.
Filipino guitar music carries centuries of history — from the romantic kundiman and the courtship serenades of the harana, to rural folk dances and patriotic anthems like Lupang Hinirang and Bayan Ko. Much of this repertoire has lived in oral tradition or out-of-print scores. Our mission is to make Philippine guitar music readable and playable again: every piece in the catalog is a carefully notated arrangement, credited to its composer and arranger, and delivered as an instant PDF download you can print and perform.
Cultural Preservation
We commission and curate professional guitar arrangements of traditional Filipino songs so this music can live on — readable, playable, and shared with the next generation of guitarists. Each arrangement stays faithful to the original melody while making it approachable for solo players and ensembles alike.
A Global Audience
Our catalog connects Filipino musical traditions with players around the world, growing a community that loves authentic Filipino guitar music. Whether you grew up with these songs or are discovering the Philippine guitar tradition for the first time, there is something here to learn and play.
