La pratique de la guitare en solitaire peut rapidement s'avérer assez frustrante. C'est pourtant le triste sort d'un grand nombre de guitaristes de flamenco. Pour tous ceux d'entre nous qui avons commis l'erreur de naître loin de l'Andalousie (ou de Madrid et de Barcelone), tenter de trouver un chanteur avec qui partager nos expériences musicales frise souvent l'utopie? C'est pourquoi nous avons pensé utile de vous proposer trois ouvrages de falsetas pour duo de guitares, et notamment ce premier volume dédié intégralement aux Bulerías. Hormis le plaisir partagé, jouer en duo vous aidera à acquérir une meilleure maîtrise du 'compás', surtout pour les formes rythmiquement les plus rigoureuses, telles que vous en trouverez dans ce recueil. Ainsi, les partitions pourront être utilisées de deux manières : jeu en duo (avec un autre guitariste ou en s'enregistrant), mais aussi interprétation en solo de la première partie de guitare (et souvent des deux). / Guitare

Guitar virtuoso Frederic Hand teaches exquisite classical guitar arrangements of four widely known and much-beloved American folk songs: The Water is Wide Wayfaring Stranger Black Is the Color of My True Love's Hair and We Are Climbing Jacob's Ladder. He shows you how by using lush chords rich harmonies and inventive improvisational elements you can make each one a beautiful and compelling performance piece. Fred teaches full concert arrangements as well as easier alternate versions for novice players who are just getting into this style of music. Learning either (or both) of these will be deeply satisfying for anyone who loves the sound of classicalguitar. Fred Hand makes this a complete learning experience by carefully explaining chord extensions and substitutions harmonic voicings up and down the neck of the guitar and elements of music theory. He shows how to use improvisational techniques and ways to enhance these as well as other songs so that you can make them truly your own.

In the early 1700s, Bach's chorales enchanted listeners with their inventive harmonies, chromaticism, contrapuntal motion, and changes of tonal center. Since that time, music students the world over have studied the chorales as a paragon of 'common practice' harmony and voice leading. And by virtue of their sublime beauty, musicians continue to perform the chorales to this day. The four-part texture of the chorales can make their performance on guitar ? with its fingering limitations ? somewhat problematic. But by sometimes thinning the texture to three or two parts, and sometimes inverting the lower parts (allowing the alto or tenor to temporarily serve as the bass), we've created easy-to-play classical guitar solos that capture all the interest and beauty of Bach's original compositions.

The roots of the classical guitar are found in the early string instruments of the Renaissance and this special collection features 50 solos arranged for solo guitar with tablature.

Access to online audio tracks is also included with carefully recorded demonstrations that will help you capture an authentic playing style to reflect the unique musical character of the Renaissance.
