Rhythms in this book are extremely complex compelling theplayer to focus on learning the guitar fretboard.

Bill Bay asked me to write a follow up book to my last book ”The Bluegrass Pickers Tune Book (20233).' If you like Bluegrass music (232 songs) I'd recommend getting that book to add to your collection. The focus of this book 'The Acoustic Source Book' is on roots and old-time music. The book is focused on the time period from late 1800's until 1940's. There are a few songs from The Bluegrass Book that were too important to be left out. I decided notto use any patriotic and Christmas songs and came up with a list of about 400 songs which eventually was cut down to over 200. During the late 1800's and early 1900's there was an important evolution in American music; the birthof jazz ragtime and blues. This was also the period of the phonograph and early commercial recordings. Music from the Minstrel period as well as traditional songs were used as staple for the roots musicians. In the early 1900'sthere were rags blues gospel Tin-Pan Alley jug band spiritual old-time country and popular songs. I've tried to include some of the well-known songs from every genre to give you a big slice of Americana. There are some greatsongs that are popular roots bluegrass and old-time songs today that have never been published. There are also great songs that are not well known that should be played and enjoyed.

Alexander Borodin/Anatoly Lyadov-This collection contains arrangements by one of the leading guitarists of the new generation Rovshan Mamedkuliev. Rovshan invites Guitar lovers to explore Russian music of the 19th century. Alexander Borodin(1833 - 1887) member of the famous Mighty Handful wrote his Petite Suite for the Piano. The four pieces presented in this collection barely utilize any of the Piano's idiomatic techniques. Though unfamiliar to the Guitar untilthe present day the selected miniatures are wonderfully suited to its technical and timbral capabilities especially Serenade. Thanks to the clearly defined genre of Nocturne the vivid imagery of Reverie and the folk colour andbell-like melodiousness of In the Cloister the four pieces rich in quality and substance will be a valuable contribution to the Guitar repertoire.Anatoly Lyadov (1855 - 1914) used to joke that he could not standmore than five continuous minutes of music. The genius of musical miniature created his compositions to be laconic and refined in form simple yet elegant. Lyadov's contemporaries called his pieces 'tiny pearls of finestfinishing' and compared the composer himself to a jeweler. His three preludes from op.36 op.39 and op.40 will become a fulfilling experience for the guitarist as the music explores the rich palette of the 'mysterious Russiansoul' ranging from stormy aspirations to dreamlike elegiac moods - expressed by the composer in but a few sounds.

Howlin' Wolf was a musical giant in every way. He stood 6' 3' wore size 16 shoes had skin so dark it shined like silver and poured out his darkest sorrows in a voice that sounded like a rampaging chainsaw. Half a century after his first hits Wolf's sound still terrifies and inspires. Born Chester Arthur Burnett in 1910 the Wolf survived a grim childhood and hard scrabble youth as asharecropper in Mississippi. He began his career playing and singing in perilous juke joints with the first Delta blues stars in the 1930s and 1940s. He was present at the birth of rock 'n' roll in Memphis and helped define the sound of electric blues in Chicago in the 1950s and 1960s. Heended his career performing and recording with the world's most famous rock stars in the 1970s. His passion for music kept him performing-despite devastating physical problems-until his death in 1976. This DVD shows Howlin' Wolf prowling on stage at the first Washington D.C. Blues Festival in November 1970 supported by his top-notch band. Hear him moan his earth-shaking blues and watch his unforgettable stage antics and you'll see why Sam Phillips who also discovered Elvis Presley Johnny Cash and Jerry Lee Lewis - called Howlin' Wolf his greatest discovery.
