Ideal for the intermediate-level guitarist, these 17 traditional tunes from the UK plus one from France are arranged to be played with your electric guitar plugged-in. The transformation that occurs in switching from acoustic to electric instruments adds an unmistakable Celtic rock element to the authorâ??s companion recording.
< span style=font-family: Arial;> The tunes are all played twice through on the recording and transcribed note-for-note in the book. The recording features backup from both electric bass and a second electric guitar, often played with a slide and a little â??dirtâ? thrown into the mix. Skillful bodhrán and djembe playing on many of the tracks adds to the dynamic nature of the recording.
< span style=font-family: Arial;> Many of these tunes can be played in lower positions but a few venture as high as the 14th fret. Playing one note at a time within a narrow range, if you donâ??t read particularly well now, working through these tunes will help you improve and gain confidence as a sight reader.
Written in standard notation and guitar tablature. Includes access to online audio.
