Although the cittern has a
history spanning 500 years and
several countries, like its
cousin the Irish bouzouki, it
is a relative newcomer to
contemporary traditional
music. Doc Rossi, a well-known
citternist in both traditional
and early music, has created
this book for intermediate to
advanced players who want to
improve their technique,
develop ideas and learn new
repertoire. Guitarists can
play all of the tunes in this
book on the guitar by tuning C
F C G C F, low to high, and
putting a capo at the second
fret. The lowest line in the
tablature then corresponds to
the fifth string. The CD
features all the tunes played
at a medium tempo.
