Par NELSON GONZALEZ. World-renowned tresero (tres player) Nelson Gonzalez explains tuning and playing of the Cuban tres guitar, offering tips for beginning to advanced players. As the instrument's name implies, the tres has three courses of double or triple strings and is used both as a lead and an accompaniment instrument. The author thoughtfully includes instructions for converting a normal 6-string guitar to a tres guitar, offering suggestions for appropriate string gauges. This may be the first book of its kind published outside of Cuba. The method contains Latin folksongs arranged for the beginning tres player plus examples of repeated, often syncopated underlying vamps called montunos. The book also presents all principal chords and scale patterns plus notation fundamentals- all beautifully illustrated with clear photos, diagrams and explanations. Written in standard notation only. Nelson Gonzalez is singularly qualified to write this book. Known in Latin music circles as the 'Ambassador of the Cuban Tres Guitar”, he has toured or recorded with a virtual Who's Who of Latin stars not to mention his own band, Son Mudano. His tres mastery is featured on dozens of recordings with such artists as Tito Puente, Gloria Estefan, Andy Garcia, Paul Simon, and Marc Anthony to name only a few. / Niveau : Tous Niveaux / Latin American - Methods / Méthode / 3 Guitares

Al Di Meola, John McLaughlin and Paco DeLucia - Friday Night in San Francisco Artist Transcriptions This famous trio of acoustic guitarists is captured live in this matching folio to the Grammy Award-winning album from a live concert in San Francisco. The book contains full transcriptions of every tune including: - Short Tales of the Black Forest - Mediterranean Sundance/Rio Ancho - Fantasia Suite - and more.

Ces deux préludes et fugues m'ont semblé si magnifiques que j'ai pensé les faire connaître aux guitaristes par le biais d'une transcription pour 3 guitares. Bien évidemment, il a fallu faire des reports d'octaves - la guitare n'ayant pas l'ambitus du clavecin - et le premier (4e Prélude et Fugue) est transposé un ton en dessous de l'original (en Ut dièse mineur). L'approche à 3 guitares permettra de connaître ces chef-d'oeuvres de l'histoire de la musique sans avoir recours à de trop gros efforts techniques et le jeu des timbres de la guitare permettra sans aucun doute de leur apporter un nouvel éclairage. / 3 Guitares
