Storl's Musik-Café
15 pieces from easy to intermediate level
The pieces from Storl’s Musik-Café are thoughtfully composed to sit comfortably under the fingers — making them a joy to play and practice.
My publisher, Felix Schell, adds:
“These are lively pieces with a beautiful sound — always easy to play and perfect for student recitals, small public performances (music cafés), art exhibitions, family gatherings, or similar occasions. They’re a great addition to any guitar lesson.”
All pieces from this guitar book can now be heard.
Fingerstyle Collection
11 Guitar Pieces for Ambitious Guitarists
Felix Schell, music publisher at Schell-Music Hamburg, writes:
“Joachim Storl is, quite simply, a fantastic composer and guitarist — listening to and playing his music is always a great pleasure. His compositions are varied and marked by engaging melodic structures, where melody and harmony are intricately woven together.
Rhythmic arpeggios with syncopated accents give many of his pieces a distinctive Latin flair. His fingerstyle technique is both deliberate and refined — never too simple, yet never unnecessarily complex. This approach fits the guitar beautifully.
Anyone who takes the time and plays with a little patience will be richly rewarded: not only with enchanting new pieces to enjoy, but also with fresh inspiration for their own playing.”
The simultaneously released CD Fingerstyle Collection features all of the pieces from this sheet music book — making it a perfect companion for learning each piece.

Samba, Bossa, Jazz
10 romantic duos fo 2 guitars - with improvisation guide and CD
These 10 pieces in this collection are partly influenced by South American styles, with a leaning toward samba and bossa nova. You’ll also find melodically rich, romantically dreamy
ballads.
All pieces were composed over the past few years and are part of my current concert repertoire — both in performances with my ensemble storl &
friends and as solo pieces.
Most duets are structured with a fixed first section, followed by a solo part where you can either play the written solo or improvise freely over the given harmonies. This option adds an extra
creative dimension to the music.
To help you along, nearly every piece includes an “improvisation roadmap” — with guitar-friendly scale diagrams for guidance and inspiration.
A CD containing recordings of all ten duets is included. You can hear the complete versions, and for each piece, there’s also a separate track with only Guitar 2 — so you can play along and try out your own solos.
[Review: Acoustic Guitar]
10 romantic duets for guitar and flute or guitar and violin - with improvisation guide + CD
For those without a guitarist as a duet partner — but perhaps with a flutist or violinist — this sheet music collection could be just the thing.
This booklet closely resembles the Guitar Duet Collection (see above) and, with the exception of two pieces, contains the same compositions. However, the arrangements are specifically tailored for guitar and flute or violin (or another C instrument). As a result, the solo sections differ from those in the guitar duet version.
As in the guitar duet book, each piece includes both a fully written-out solo and an “improvisation roadmap” to support your own creative interpretation.
The included CD features complete recordings of all the pieces. In addition, the guitar part is available as a separate track — allowing flutists and violinists to practice or perform even without a partner.A CD with all titles is included. The ten pieces are available both as full performances and with Guitar 2 recorded separately — allowing you to play along and try out your own improvisations.
Gospel Classics
Spirituals and Gospels newly arranged - with TABs + CD
19 + 3 Gospel Arrangements for Solo Guitar and Guitar Duo
This edition features 19 well-known gospel songs arranged for solo guitar, along with 3 additional pieces arranged for guitar duets.
Each piece is preceded by a corresponding lead sheet — including melody, lyrics, and chords — as well as practical performance tips for the solo versions.
The arrangements are of moderate difficulty and include both standard notation and tablature.
An accompanying audio CD contains recordings of all the pieces.
Session Tunes
Melodyplaying in the first position with accompanying chords. An ideal supplementary booklet for guitar lessons.
This sheet music book features 20 single-line melodies of increasing difficulty, each accompanied by chords and suggestions for fingerpicking techniques. Additionally, each tune is presented with a fully arranged version for solo guitar or as duo/trio arrangements.
This sheet music book is an excellent resource for guitar lessons and is suitable for students who have completed around six months of instruction. With additional pieces arranged at an intermediate level, it offers a wide variety of applications and uses.
To make practicing more enjoyable, jam tracks are provided for playing along, available in three versions:
-
A slow version (sl) with an additional melody line (+) to help guide you.
-
A slow version (sl) without the melody line, for when you're ready to play more independently.
-
A full-speed version without the melody line — this version is sure to challenge you!
Note: Each piece begins with a 4-bar intro! Have fun jamming!
Funny Fingers
4 romantic, melodic, jazzy guitar duets with TABs and CD
This is my first sheet music book, published in 2003 by Schellmusic. It contains 4 timeless, romantic guitar duets, including three original compositions ("Abendstimmung," "Kleiner Plausch," and "Romantic Rendezvous") as well as a jazzy duet arrangement of "Joshua Fit The Battle."
For those who prefer not to read standard notation, the book also includes tablature (TAB). Additionally, a CD is included with recordings of all the pieces, played at both practice tempo and normal tempo. The tracks are divided into Guitar 1 and Guitar 2 parts, so you can practice and improvise even without a duet partner.
