Century Spain. Par KOONCE FRANK. Scholarly editions, which serve different purposes than performance editions, are not often designed with the modern guitarist in mind. For instance, Renaissance vihuela tablatures are usually transcribed with the open first string as G, not E. Most are presented in double-staff notation, a medium that is superior for realizing counterpoint but unconventional as guitar notation. Furthermore, these editions sometimes give idealized, but not realistic, solutions for voicing, note duration, and other matters that need to be considered within the limitations of our instrument. Guitarists who try to play from these editions essentially are faced with the task of transcribing thetranscription!This 188-page anthology is designed as a companion volume to The Baroque Guitar in Spain and the New World (MB21122). It includes representative selections, edited for modern guitar, from the seven books for vihuela that were published in Spain between 1536 and 1576. As well as being fun and entertaining music for all to enjoy, these collections are intended to help bridge the gap between scholarly editions and performance editions by providing a hands-on introduction to tablature transcription and to issues concerning historically informed performance of early music on the guitar. * A 188-page anthology, edited for modern guitar, from the seven books for vihuela that were published in Spain between 1536 and 1576. * A companion volume to The Baroque Guitar in Spain and the New World (MB21122). * Intended to help bridge the gap between scholarly editions and performance editions. * An introduction to tablature transcription and to issues concerning historically informed performance of early music on the modern guitar.

Par DIVERS AUTEURS / ROB MACKILLOP (ARR.). In this unique collection, multi-instrumentalist Rob MacKillop presents 30 airs and dances from Scotland, Ireland and England transcribed for the modern guitar in open-D tuning (DADF?AD). Although conceived for fingerstyle playing, most of these traditional, Classical and Baroque pieces are also playable with a pick.During the mid to late 18th century, a wire-strung instrument which could be described as a cross between a guitar and a cittern appeared in Britain. With the exception of the publications in Edinburgh by Robert Bremmer (c. 1713 - 89), most period writings refer to this instrument as the guittar. In providing extensive historical and performance notes on this music, the author has adopted this spelling. While derived principally from the publications by Scottish guittarists Robert Bremmer and James Oswald (1710 - 69), MacKillop discovered additional Scottish publications and manuscripts in The National Library of Scotland and even more manuscripts in the uncatalogued library of Blair Castle in Perthshire, Scotland.Written in standard notation and tablature, this book brings a particularly uncommon repertoire to light with an exceptional downloadable recording. Includes access to online audio./ Tablatures / Guitare Tablatures

Par MARTIN JUAN. Four exciting concert solos for flamenco guitar from Juan Martín's best-selling album 'The Andalucian Suites'. This is the first of the four suites on the album. These suites are transcribed into standard notation and flamenco tablature (cifra), with introductory playing notes by Juan Martín. The four solos on the accompanying CD are performed by Juan. The complementary and contrasting variety of styles and rhythms of the four solos provide a brilliant display of Juan's artistry and the expressive capabilities of the flamenco guitar. Each solo is complete in itself. A powerfully evocative Zambra Mora is followed by the much-requested rumba 'La Feria', then a gently melancholic Milonga and finally a thrilling Bulerías, which combines modern elements with pure gypsy falsetas from Moron del la Frontera. These solos provide an exceptional opportunity to learn and enjoy the music of a master flamenco guitarist, whose two volumes of graded 'Solos Flamencos' are already Mel Bay best-sellers. / Niveau : Intermédiaire / Flamenco - Solos / Tablatures / Guitare Tablatures Classique

Ton Van Bergeyk launched his career as a musician during the late 1960s playing blues Harp and Ukulele in a duo setting, but he then switched to the acoustic Guitar and quickly learned and mastered the instrument using fingerstyle techniques. He started to transcribe and arrange classic ragtime compositions for fingerpicking Guitar and was discovered by Stefan Grossman during a tour in Holland. Stefan produced Ton's first solo album, Famous Ragtime Guitar Solos, in 1973. This contained 14 of Ton's arrangements of classic ragtime pieces and became a best seller. In 1975, Ton's second solo album, Guitar Instrumentals To Tickle Your Fingers, was released containing transcriptions and arrangements of novelty rags, early jazz and popular tunes of the 1930s and 1940s. In 1980, Ton's third solo album was released and continued his exploration of arrangements for solo fingerpicking Guitar, this time with a repertoire covering jazz, blues, contemporary pop and country and even Mexican folklore. This album was titled Lulu's Back In Town, Hot Guitar Solos. Ton also participated in several anthology projects, i.e. Novelty Guitar Instrumentals, I Got Rhythm, Masters of Ragtime Guitar, The Entertainer and How To Play Ragtime Guitar. All of Ton's albums are available as CDs as well as direct downloads from Stefan Grossman's Guitar Workshop, (www.guitarvideos.com) and include tab PDF booklets on the CDs. Ton recorded the audio lesson series Fingerstyle Jazz Guitar to teach phrase by phrase and measure by measure some of his most requested arrangements. This second volume presents Ton Van Bergeyk's renditions of Duke Ellington's Jubilee Stomp and Take It Easy, Thelonious Monk's classic Blue Monk and the George Gershwin standard I Got Rhythm. / Niveau : Facile / Tablatures / Guitare Tablatures

Par BAKER DUCK. This collection of carols arranged for guitar solo brings together twenty-four melodies that have had broad appeal through the ages. They were a spontaneous expression of musical joy that occurred over much of northern Europe in the fifteenth century, coinciding with the dawning of the modern age and the ending of the long medieval night. The selections include universal favorites, some tunes which are popular in their native lands and reasonably well-known elsewhere, and others which are unfamiliar even in their homelands. Some familiar texts, including 'Away in a Manger' and 'Angels from the Realms of Glory,' have been set to different tunes. Notes on the origin of each tune are included. Written in notation and tablature. The companion CD features performances of all of the tunes, with some grouped into medleys. / Niveau : Intermédiaire / Christmas - Solos / Tablatures / Guitare Tablatures
