Ideal for the
intermediate-level
guitarist, these 17
traditional tunes from
the UK plus one from
France are arranged to be
played with your electric
guitar plugged-in. The
transformation that
occurs in switching from
acoustic to electric
instruments adds an
unmistakable Celtic rock
element to the author??s
companion
recording.
<
span style=font-family:
Arial;> The tunes are all
played twice through on
the recording and
transcribed note-for-note
in the book. The
recording features backup
from both electric bass
and a second electric
guitar, often played with
a slide and a little
??dirt? thrown into
the mix. Skillful
bodhrán and djembe
playing on many of the
tracks adds to the
dynamic nature of the
recording.
<
span style=font-family:
Arial;> Many of these
tunes can be played in
lower positions but a few
venture as high as the
14th fret. Playing one
note at a time within a
narrow range, if you
don??t read particularly
well now, working through
these tunes will help you
improve and gain
confidence as a sight
reader.
Written in
standard notation and
guitar tablature.
Includes access to online
audio.
