For Acoustic Guitar-During the course of my teaching piano and guitar I have not come across another book that took these classic masterpieces and arranged them for the beginner guitar student. There is an amazing amount of literature like this forthe piano but not for the guitar. My goal with this book is to fill this void in the guitar literature. I chose compositions that the young guitar student would most likely have heard before and thus used familiar melodies. Ithen made easy arrangements of them mostly using the top four strings simple chords and fingerings. The right hand fingering is not indicated because I used the general rule of thumb: a = 1st string m = 2nd string i = 3rdstring p = 4th 5th and 6th strings.” All 12 solos are scored in notation and tablature.

This book and 2-CD set was intended for the mature picker who desires great arrangements to the classic songs we hear sing and play. Included are great sounding solid songs which are fun to play but not with those ?impossible?blinding runs. This unique book is also perfect for the beginner who is ready to branch into the intermediate world of guitar. ?Amazing Grace? ?Blue Ridge Mountain Blues? ?When The Roses Bloom In Dixie Land? ?Georgia Mail? ?When You And I Were Young Maggie? are just a few of the 45 full blown songs in this terrific volume. Lyrics notation and TAB along with pictures performance notes and of course companion CDs are all included; anothermust-have from Steve Kaufman.
