This is a fingerstyle arrangement of an Irish traditional song that has a beautiful melody.

I arranged it into fingerstyle guitar music.

The joyous Christmas season has inspired musicians in many countries and in many eras to compose beautiful songs. This book contains 18 Christmas carols and songs from the American Christmas repertoire arranged for solo plectrum/flatpick guitar. Each solo can also be played by the classical or fingerstyle guitarist. All of the solos are in notation and tablature. Includes access to an online audio.

The songs in this collection are intended to be musically engaging, many with a fresh sound, but easy enough to play that the singer can focus on vocalization and connecting with the audience. If the music goes up the guitar neck, it mostly does it at the dots on the fretboard. It does not go past the twelfth fret so that even a nylon string guitar can be used. If there is individual fingering instead of chords, the music can be played more slowly. In places where a finger picking pattern is indicated, strumming may often be substituted. The tuning is standard to avoid the distraction of retuning in a short set. But these are mostly not three chord songs. The pseudo key change in 'Dreamsieve' the second E minor chord in 'Washed Away,' or the open strings in 'Gold Star Eyes,' may allow the performer a chance to engage the audience through musical novelty. The songs are also meant to be short enough that the audience may want more rather than feel worn. 'Washed Away' and 'Unspoken' may be the most involved but both have choruses that can be used for a sing along to bring the audience further in. The songs also have a range of moods and subjects to be useful in balancing an open mic short set.

Thomas Fellow, Autor des erfolgreichen Standardwerkes Fellow Guitar Book und weltweit konzertierender Gitarrist (European Guitar Quartet, Friend `n Fellow, Hands on Strings), erweitert seine Guitar Music Collection mit diesem und dem Folgeband um eine umfangreiche Menge Kompositionen in seiner ihm eigenen modernen, stilistisch offenen Klangsprache. Das vorliegende Heft mit 18 DELIGHTFUL CROSSOVER PIECES wendet sich an interessierte Studenten, konzertierende Gitarrist:innen ebenso wie an ambitionierte Laien. Die Stucke sind anspruchsvoll (Schwierigkeitsgrad 4 - schwer) und bilden durch die zusatzliche Notation in TABS auch fur nicht-notenkundige Spieler eine perfekte Erganzung fur ihr Repertoire an moderner Gitarrenliteratur. FINGERFOOD XXL Vol. 1 umfasst kurzere Kompositionen (STARTER) und eine ganze Reihe von Balladen (SWEET). Alle Stucke sind konzertant, aber jedes auf seine Weise. Und so lassen sich Fingerstyle-Einflusse ebenso erkennen wie brasilianische Klange, mal nahert sich Fellow dem Jazz, mal der Popmusik und vermittelt immer Spielfreude und Horgenuss.
