"Tennessee Whiskey" was originally written by Dean Dillon and Linda Hargrove in 1981. It has since been recorded by several notable country artists, but the most commercially successful of these was Chris Stapleton in 2015, whose version shot to the top of the charts and was certified platinum after he performed it with Justin Timberlake at the Country Music Association awards. This arrangement for solo cello was originally commissioned for a wedding prelude, and it maintains the beautiful melodic lines, passionate dynamic changes, and steady groove of the original. This sweet and slow country love song describes how love can lift you out of a dark place in your life, so of course it will be perfect not just for weddings, but for receptions, proposals, cocktail hour, parties, and any other occasion you want your audience to start slow-dancing! No accompaniment part -- it stands alone, or can be played with a backing track for solo gigs. Rated advanced-intermediate for a LOT of complex, almost improvisational-sounding rhythms and some high notes (up to 4th position).

These intensive cello double stop shifting exercises will help improve your intonation and help build your left-hand strength. At the same time, they will raise the intensity level of your practice, making the time you spend on exercises as efficient as possible.

Who this book can help: Cellists who can shift between the first seven positions and want to improve their shifting and finger strength.

How to use this book: Work on one exercise each day, after warming up with finger exercises, scales, and shifting exercises.
