The Hawaiian word for slack key guitar, kÄ« hōâ??alu, means to â??loosen the keyâ? or retune some of the strings to create a harmonious sound with an open or alternate tuning. Slack key is a fingerpicking style characterized by strong alternating bass lines played with the thumb. While slack key can be played on any guitar, most players prefer a nylon- or steel-stringed acoustic instrument.

This book presents 25 intermediate to advanced traditional and original tunes in the Hawaiian slack key style. Melodies are often harmonized in sixths or thirds played with or without double stops. Techniques like syncopated bass lines, hammer-ons, pull-offs, slides, and harmonics are tastefully employed to evoke the images of ocean breezes, swaying palms, hula dancers and white sandy beaches.

The author writes, â??Unless you grew up playing slack key, itâ??s hard to get from the material presented in most books and DVDs to a fluid, play-it-your-own-way style.â? This book seeks to reveal the insights the author has gleaned from studying and jamming with some of the giants of the slack key style, and help you develop a style all your own.

Includes access to online audio tracks of all 25 relaxing but challenging Hawaiian slack key tunes.

Composed by Ferdinando Carulli. Edited by Romolo Calandruccio. Classical. Score. Ut Orpheus #CH 387. Published by Ut Orpheus (UT.CH-387).

ISBN 9790215328235. 9 x 12 inches.

Opus 114 is certainly one of Carulliâ??s most important didactic works, so much so that the author himself made a point of writing in the second edition of his famous Method op. 27 (1819): The student, when moving on to the second part, must continue to practise on the easy pieces which are to be found in opus nos. 50, 15, 35, 36, 93, 7 and above all in opus 114. He maintained this indication also in later editions of the Method itself, unlike what he did with other collections of studies which were no longer recommended.
The purpose of op. 114, in particular of the preludes, is clearly explained by the author himself in the preface of op. 265: I have already offered preludes in my opus nos. 71 and 114 to people, but they serve to study and learn to play all sorts of difficult passages, to practise modulating, and learn to improvise on the guitar. Carulli seems to want to provide his students with a large handbook of formulas typical of his musical writing and he does so by making use of the keys which, in his opinion, are most congenial to the guitar. In his Method he points out: Each instrument has its favourite keys: the guitar can be played in all keys, but the best ones are: A major and minor, D major and minor, E major and minor, C, G, F. The others are difficult; [â?¦]. However, some of the difficult ones are included but only in the fourth part. Of course, the easiness of a key essentially depends on the possibility of extensive use of the open strings, especially in the low notes, ensuring the accompaniment on the main degrees.
This edition has some unique features. First of all, it is the first complete modern edition of Carulliâ??s op. 114; it presents an important critical apparatus in which the Carullian technique is presented and analysed; finally, Carulli's original fingering is indicated in the score (including that of the thumb of the left hand) and the missing one was obtained from the comparison of his other fingerings present in other works. All this allows an easy and complete reading both for those who perform the pieces following the nineteenth-century performance practice with a historical instrument, and for those who play a modern instrument.

In this ambitious series, Bryan Johanson and Jesse McCann seek to address this missing element in the study of classical guitar. In light of the sheer volume of guitar music written over the centuries, not to men- tion early works by the guitar’s plucked-string relatives, the authors’ choices were by necessity limited to a select group of standards. These might be considered among the most popular works in the guitar canon, admired over the years by performers, students, and audiences alike for their beauty, musical expression, and idiomatic sonority. There are, of course, other pieces that could have been included. But by choosing works that give a broad survey of styles across musical periods (Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and early 20th century) written by some of the guitar’s most important composers, the authors present a com- prehensive cross-section of the essential repertoire for the instrument.
- William Kanengiser

Dans cette série ambitieuse, Bryan Johanson et Jesse McCann cherchent à aborder cet élément manquant dans l'étude de la guitare classique. En raison du volume considérable de musique pour guitare écrite au fil des siècles, sans mentionner les œuvres anciennes des instruments à cordes pincées apparentés à la guitare, les choix des auteurs étaient nécessairement limités à un groupe restreint de « standards ». Ces œuvres peuvent être considérées parmi les plus populaires du répertoire de la guitare, admirées au fil des ans par les interprètes, les étudiants et les auditoires pour leur beauté, leur expression musicale et leur sonorité idiomatique. Il existe, bien sûr, d'autres pièces qui auraient pu être incluses. Mais en choisissant des œuvres qui offrent un large panorama des styles à travers les périodes musicales (Renaissance, Baroque, Classique, Romantique et début du 20e siècle) écrites par certains des compositeurs les plus importants pour la guitare, les auteurs présentent une section transversale complète du répertoire essentiel pour l'instrument.

ISBN 9783890447018. English.

We proudly present this new modern critical edition of Antoine de Lhoyer's Six Exercices Op. 27, originally published in Paris around 1812. These exercises, originally written for 5-string guitar, are remarkably advanced for their time and well worth playing; the rapid arpeggio patterns and daring harmonic shifts in some of them may bring even Villa-Lobos to mind. The Six Exercices Op. 27 were arranged by Giuliani and published some 7 years later under his name as Six Preludes Op. 83. The exercises were originally written for 5-string guitar. We have added alternative readings for using the 6th string, an often employed publishing practice of the period. The music is edited and fingered by Erik Stenstadvold, an authority on the guitar repertoire of the early 19th century. There is also an informative preface, with full biographical details and critical notes.
