William Percy French was one of Ireland's favourite sons and his influence on traditional Irish Music can still be felt today. His lyrics are still humorous, ironic and perceptive, but never mocking or scornful, and these exemplify his love of his motherland. Representing some of the finest examples of this genre, this volume contains forty-seven of his most famous and enjoyed songs all lovingly arranged by James Nealy, with melody-line, complete lyrics and chords. Includes notes on the inspiration and background of each of the songs and a commentary on the life and talents of French himself. This is a wonderful reference book as well as a compilation of his magnificent works for enjoyment. Songs include Eileen Oge, The Emigrants Letter and 'Who said the Hook Never Hurted the Worms?'.

Many students are attracted to the guitar because of hearing the lead guitar solos by their favorite group or artist. Most of them in their early teens come into the teaching studio for their first lesson expecting to be shown a lead guitar solo off a newly released album. However, this brings up some problems. Most beginning students have not yet developed the skill in their hands to play such a solo, do not read music, or have not had music theory training. Because of this, beginning students entering a studio do not get the full benefit from the music because they are unable to apply the examples presented to them. It's because of these problems this book came about. Guitar Technique stresses from the beginning control of the instrument and basic music theory. After completing this book, a student will have the necessary musical background and skill to pursue any direction of guitar playing he/she chooses with success.

Die vorliegende Ausgabe beinhaltet eine Vielzahl verhaltnismassig leicht spielbarer Stucke - uberwiegend Lieder und Tanze - und wendet sich daher besonders an Spieler, die ihr technisches Konnen noch weiter vervollkommnen mochten, aber schon Freude und Interesse an der Wiederbelebung alter Musik haben. Die Kompositionen und Bearbeitungen fur Lauten- und Gitarreninstrumente wurden bis gegen Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts in einer Griffzeichenschrift - der Tabulatur - aufgezeichnet. Diese Griffnotation ist in verschiedenen Arten, auf Buchstaben oder Zahlen bzw. auf Buchstaben und Zahlen basierend, uberliefert. Man unterscheidet deutsche, italienische, spanische und franzosische Tabulaturen. Sie bestanden lange Zeit nebeneinander, wobei sich schliesslich die franzosische Tabulatur, der ein Liniensystem (fur die Saiten), auf dem die Bunde durch Buchstaben gekennzeichnet wurden, zugrunde lag, als die praktischste erwies. Um die in diesen verschiedenen Griffzeichenschriften niedergeschriebenen Kompositionen allgemein zuganglich zu machen, ist es zweckmassig, sie in die heute gultige Notenschrift umzusetzen. Da aber die Tabulaturdrucke und -manuskripte leider oft sehr fehlerhaft und unvollstandig sind, verlangt die Ubertragung grosse Sachkenntnis; zuweilen ist die Auslese an wirklich guter Musik im Verhaltnis zur aufgewendeten Zeit recht gering. Um aber dem Anliegen, moglichst viele qualitatsvolle und dennoch auf der Gitarre leicht spielbare Kompositionen vorzulegen, gerecht zu werden, sind in die Sammlung neben Ubertragungen aus Tabulaturen fur Gitarre auch solche aus Tabulaturen fur Calichon, Mandora und Renaissancelaute aufgenommen worden. Von einem grossen Teil der Stucke sind die Komponisten unbekannt, da sie in den Quellen nicht genannt werden - eine Erscheinung, die in fast allen Tabulaturen zu beobachten ist. Die alteste uns bekannte Gitarrenmusik (Anfang des 16. Jahrhunderts) stammt aus Uberlieferungen fur die viersaitige (doppelchorig) spanische Gitarre. Gegen Ende des 16. Jahrhunderts wurde die Gitarre funfsaitig (doppelchorig) und erst etwa 200 Jahre spater erhielt sie die sechste Saite - jedoch einchorig - und hat sich so bis heute erhalten. Die Stimmung von Calichon und Mandora war die gleiche wie die der Gitarre, allerdings waren sie bereits seit der Wende vom 17. zum 18. Jahrhundert sechssaitig. Es ist durchaus legitim, die fur Calichon und Mandora uberlieferten Kompositionen auf der Gitarre zum Klingen zu bringen -dies um so mehr, da kaum mit der Wiedererweckung und Verbreitung der beiden Instrumente zu rechnen ist. Anders verhalt es sich mit der Renaissancelaute, die heute wieder haufiger gespielt wird. Sie hat die gleichen Saitenintervalle (Quarten und Terz) wie die Gitarre, lediglich dass das Terzintervall zwischen der dritten und vierten Saite liegt. Im Interesse der weitaus grosseren Zahl von Gitarrespielern wurden fur die vorliegende Sammlung nur solche Stucke ausgewahlt, die auf der Gitarre bequem zu greifen sind. Dem Lautenspieler werden sie infolge ihres geringen Schwierigkeitsgrades ebenfalls sehr willkommen sein. Den im Quellenverzeichnis genannten Bibliotheken, in denen ich zum Teil schon vor mehr als 50 Jahren begonnen habe, alte Lauten- und Gitarrentabulaturen fur diese und andere Ausgaben zu sichten und zu sammeln, sei bestens fur die Uberlassung von Handschriften, Drucken und Filmen zur Ubertragung oder zum Vergleich gedankt. Die Wiedergabe der Stucke folgt so weit wie moglich den Originalquellen, lediglich offensichtliche Fehler wurden stillschweigend korrigiert. Adalbert Quadt, Berlin, im Fruhjahr 1985.
