A collection of 23 Celtic songs arranged for Guitar with standard notation and Tab. Includes a comprehensive guide to Flatpicking Celtic style Guitar and also a CD of examples.For me playing the Guitar is all about finding pieces of music that you want to play over and over again. I don't know a formula for what makes up a great piece but I know it when I hear it. A good piece of music is not a page with notes hanging in a museum it is music you come back to ten years later and love it just as much as you did when you first heard it. Whether it???s a classic piece by O'Carolan or a traditional piece in the Celtic tradition that is what I believe you will find inthis book. Quite simply these are beautiful arrangements of Celtic Music that you will keep you coming back. So if you love playing the guitar and you are looking for music you will be playing for a lifetime this is the book for you.Allan Alexander

Nine Concert Solos For Plectrum Gtr-Here are nine solos for plectrum guitar written with the tradition of the Celtic ballad and Scottish Aire. Many of the solos call for a 7 string guitar but can certainly be played on a 6 string. I have shown alternate notesfor the low 7 string pedal tones in the tablature. The solos give the guitarist an opportunity to play concert settings with a maximum of expression. I have recorded all of the solos and they are available as a free internet download. This book is a sequel to my solo collection entitled 'Guitar Meditations' (MB22029). I have authored both solo collections to address the need for serious compositions for the plectrum guitaristwanting to play in concert or recital. The music in each collection draws from a wide variety of influences and utilizes many contemporary harmonic concepts. I hope you enjoy performing and listening to these solos.

Dai primi passi alle Alternative Tunings, uno studio indispensabile per tutti i chitarristi acustici ed elettrici per scoprire nuove possibilità espressive.Pare che l'arte dello scordare la chitarra venga praticata da ?sempre! Prima ancora della nasi ciò che definiamo accordatura standard, la moltitudine degli strumenti a corda esistenti adottava le più svariate sequenze. E non è certo mistero che le più affascinanti culture musicali popolari (celtica, blues, country) ed i più grandi chitarristiali facciano largo uso di open tunings. Ma perché avventurarsi in questo dedalo di corde scordate? I fingerstylers ed i flatpickers sanno bene che si apre un'infinità di mondi affascinanti: ogni tipo di tuning diversa può dare delle armonie stupendee suggestioni particolari mai sentite ed assolutamente tutte da provare. E il bello è che ogni tanto ne esca qualcosa di poco chiaro, ma con un po' di esperienza nasceranno nuove armonie, strani arpeggi, sequenze straordinarie. Alberto Grollo da anni / Guitare
