Forty of his beautiful compositions are included in this volume. The book is intended for the guitarist with intermediate to advanced fingerstyle technique, and can be played on both nylon and steel string instruments. In order to help capture the unique character of Dowland\'s music, renaissance lute tuning (capo on the third fret with the G string tuned to F sharp) is used throughout. The pieces progress more or less in order of increasing difficulty, and special care has been taken to be sure any group of consecutive pieces can be played with satisfyingresults. Standard notation only. Includes access to online audio. For years, classical guitarists have enjoyed playing the lute music of the English composer, John Dowland (1563-1626).

Par BARTOK BELA. Like so many famous virtuosic works, Bartók’s Sonata for Solo Violin was said, by its commissioner, Yehudi Menuhin, at first sight, to be unplayable! Of course, Menuhin soon changed his opinion, later describing the work as the most important composition for solo violin since Bach. The original work used the full array of violin techniques such as stopped harmonics, left-hand pizzicato and quarter tones. These demands gave arranger, Christophe Dejour, much pause for thought when preparing this arrangement, not least in how to produce quarter tones on the guitar! Fortunately, both Bartók and Menuhin came to his rescue here. Menuhin had had problems playing these at speed and Bartók agreed that they were only for “colour” and accepted an alternative version Menuhin presented to him. The Sonata also contains several compositional techniques that are highly appropriate for the guitar such as chord progressions, contrapuntal motion and rhythmic sharpness, allowing Dejour to produce an arrangement that requires great skill to play, just as the original violin version demanded of Yehudi Menuhin./ Répertoire / Guitare

Par BENNETT STEPHEN. Given the number of skilled luthiers and guitarists in evidence today, the current era has come to be known as 'The Golden Age of the Acoustic Guitar”. Among numerous richly talented players, flatpicking/fingerstyle acoustic and harp guitarist Stephen Bennett stands out as both a supreme melodist and groove master. That said- you already have a good idea of the contents of this DVD. It's a rare artist who is capable of recording 29 tunes in a single day, but with the tenacity, perfectionism, and phenomenal musicality known to his fans worldwide, that is exactly what Stephen did in creating this DVD. In fact, most of these tracks were completed to perfection in one take. Add the notion of performing on three distinctly different instruments- a Morris 6-string acoustic, a 1930 National Steel, and a modern Merrill Brothers copy of a vintage Dyer harp guitar- and you have not only a Herculean musical feat, but a unique listening and viewing experience.Stephen's live Mel Bay DVD performance is one you'll watch again and again. / Acoustic Music - Concert/Documentary / Accessoire / Guitare

Par WILLLIAM BAY. The arts flourished in the Baroque period. Music from that time is still performed worldwide by symphonies, opera companies, choirs, chamber ensembles and soloists on many instruments. The period was characterized by the works of such great artists as J. S. Bach (b. 1685), Handel (b. 1685), Telemann (b. 1681) and many others. These composers defined the rich, ornate and melodic Baroque style of music which we categorize in the classical realm. There was another genre of music flourishing during this period, and that was the 'common' or folk music style characterized by such composers as Ireland's legendary harpist, Turlough O'Carolan (b. 1670). In composing music for this book the author recreated harmonic and melodic elements of this great musical age, while adding some contemporary twists. All of the etudes are original and will serve to enhance guitar technique, phrasing, expression, note- reading ability, and knowledge of the entire guitar fingerboard. Fingering and string markings are included where appropriate. In addition to facilitating the many technical and aesthetic aspects of performing at an advanced level on the guitar, these etudes may be used successfully in concerts or recitals. This book is an ideal companion for the other books in the Mel Bay 'Achieving Guitar Artistry' series, which is designed to condition and guide the developing guitarist to an advanced level of proficiency, regardless of the style of music performed./ Recueil / Guitare

Cette méthode rassemble 50 accompagnements pour la guitare acoustique.'50 accompagnements de tous niveaux, inspirés par les plus grands guitaristes et songwriters de tous les temps (Tim Buckley, Tracy Chapman, Nick Drake, The Eagles, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Ben Harper, Jason Mraz...), mais aussi par quelques artistes français tels que Jean-Jacques Goldman ou Francis Cabrel par exemple. Si ces 50 rythmiques seront avant tout l'occasion de se faire plaisir en jouant, elles vous permettront aussi d'apprendre 'par l'exemple' les différentes techniques d'accompagnement à la guitare acoustique (jeu en accords ou en arpèges, cordes à vide de transition, formules rythmiques les plus courantes, sonorité des barrés, utilisation du capodastre, open-tunings...). Le DVD Vidéo permet d'entendre mais aussi et surtout visualiser les 50 accompagnements, à vitesse réelle comme au ralenti, vous donnant ainsi la possibilité d'effectuer les bons gestes, de choisir les bons doigtés et de jouer rythmiquement 'en place' ! Le CD mp3 est pour sa part composé d'autant de playbacks qu'il n'y a d'accompagnements. Soit 50 playbacks, joués à deux tempi différents : le tempo d'objectif (vitesse réelle) et le tempo de travail (vitesse lente).'Sur le playback à vitesse réelle, la guitare est présente lors de la première tournerie puis s'efface pour vous laisser la place ! Enfin, ces playbacks sont volontairement de longue durée (3 à 4 minutes chacun, soit plus de 6h de musique en tout !), pour vous donner le temps de vous exercer dans les meilleures conditions possibles. / Guitare
