Fiddle Tunes for Fingerstyle Guitar
"It is a challenge to arrange and play American fiddle tunes and Celtic melodies on the guitar. This set of lessons presents several approaches for the intermediate guitarist with 3 CDs containing 3 full hours of instruction. Written in notation and tablature. LESSON ONE: Dave Laibman's arrangement of ""Colored Aristocracy"" features a Chet Atkins approach. ""Midnight on the Water,"" a beautiful Texas waltz, was arranged by Duck Baker and features counterpoint lines and variations on the theme. ""The West Wind"" is an evocative Irish air played with a classical feel. LESSON TWO: American fiddle tunes: ""Boys, My Money's All Gone"" played in a Nashville style and ""Last of Callahan,"" an arrangement using a counterpoint bass line played against the melody. LESSON THREE: Fiddle tunes from Ireland and America: ""Rights of Man"" and ""Drunken Wagoner"" both played in a dropped D tuning (D A D G B E). "
