Par BULLOCK ROBIN. Celtic acoustic guitar and cittern wizard Robin Bullock takes the vibrating string to astonishing places with four of his own compositions, artful arrangements of another five traditional Celtic tunes, and tunes by Norman Blake and Dougie MacLean. From high-octane performances on Spider - Maho Snaps - Matelot Jig - and Old Brown Case to the extraordinarily moving and trancelike tune Between Earth and Sky(original title piece of his CD), the slow Irish air For Ireland I'd Not Tell Her Name - and Tiger Baby's Lullaby - Robin displays the fingerpicking and flatpicking styles that, combined with his composing and multi-instrumental skills, have earned his reputation with such renown Celtic and world-music groups as Helicon, Billboard's 'world music' TOP 10 artist John Whelan's new Celtic band, and Riverdance guest artists Footworks Percussive Dance Ensemble. An extraordinary composer, Robin also varies tunings using standard tuning on only two pieces - he fingerpicks seven of the tunes, and uses flatpick technique on Old Brown Case and the three cittern (Irish bazouki) pieces: his original The Iraqi Road to Dublin and Irish traditional tunes Maho Snaps and The Dawn/Miss Monahan. Completing the 11 pieces on this video are: Dougie MacLean's Farewell to Craigie Duh, Turlough O'Carolan's Sir Charles Coote - Captain Higgins - and Rigler's March - Rex's Ramble - another one of his own. Find out why everyone who hears Robin Bullock is entranced by his masterful musical versatility, his humorous approach to life, and the music that runs through his head. / Acoustic Music - Concert/Documentary / Accessoire / Guitare

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

The colourful tones of the guitar are well suited to the music of Ireland and Scotland. Jody Stecher has developed a unique approach to flatpicking Celtic music drawing on the sounds and techniques of the harp fiddle and pipes. This lesson presents a graded course starting with simpler fingering with special attention to picking techniques. Building on a base of a confident and deliberate right hand more challenging left hand work is graduallyintroduced. The typical ornaments of Celtic music are shown to be manageable and effective on the guitar - including rolls which have been thought by some to be too difficult to achieve on the instrument. Jody presentsmemorable tunes in the keys of G D and A which are played in either dropped-D or standard tuning.
