Par MCMEEN EL. Having written or contributed to several volumes of Celtic guitar music over the course of four decades, El McMeen offers fresh and unusual concepts in these 30 fingerstyle arrangements of both familiar and lesser-known Celtic tunes.The music is written in standard notation and tablature in three distinctive guitar tunings: Standard (EADGBE), Drop-D (DADGBE) and Low-C (CGDGAD). Unique to this collection, 7 of the book?s 23 tunes are written in two different tunings, so you can compare the advantages and musicality of each tuning and choose which one to emulate or perform. Computer-generated audio files, an extensive introduction to tablature notation, and an invaluable Low-C chord chart enhance this insightful approach to the Celtic guitar style, alternate tunings, and the arranger?s craft. / Date parution : 2023-06-01/ Recueil / Guitare

This collection of traditional music from Ireland and Scotland arranged for solo guitar is the result of a passionate study of the tradition by some of the finest musicians playing in this genre. Compiled by Stefan Grossman thisbook includes arrangements by Pierre Bensusan El McMeen Martin Simpson Pat Kirtley Duck Baker Tom Long & Steve Baughman. Looking back less than a century you would find this music performed on fiddle pipes button accordion flutes and whistles in solo and ensemble settings but never guitar even in its basic role of providing rhythm. The challenge for those who attempt to translate Celtic traditional music for fingerstyle guitar is to preserve theunique qualities which are the essence of the style. The popularity of alternate tunings in this music tends to come from two different directions. One is in the desire for production of tonalities of droninginstruments á la the bagpipes and tunings such as DADGAD and EADEAE make this effect relatively easy. On the other hand there are guitar tunings which lend themselves easily to the melodic steps and fullness found in thediatonic Celtic harp such as DGDGBD (open G tuning) and the CGDGAD.

Par BERTHOUD PHILIP JOHN. Ideal for the intermediate-level guitarist, these 17 traditional tunes from the UK plus one from France are arranged to be played with your electric guitar plugged-in. The transformation that occurs in switching from acoustic to electric instruments adds an unmistakable Celtic rock element to the author's companion recording.The tunes are all played twice through on the recording and transcribed note-for-note in the book. The recording features backup from both electric bass and a second electric guitar, often played with a slide and a little 'dirt? thrown into the mix. Skillful bodhrán and djembe playing on many of the tracks adds to the dynamic nature of the recording.Many of these tunes can be played in lower positions but a few venture as high as the 14th fret. Playing one note at a time within a narrow range, if you don't read particularly well now, working through these tunes will help you improve and gain confidence as a sight reader.Written in standard notation and guitar tablature.
