Richard Graf: Guitar For Two: Guitar Duet

Media Comments:(...)A publication that is relevant and enjoyable to use on your own as it is in a tutorial setting is a rare thing indeed but wonderfully achieved here by Richard Graf in his book of duos Guitar for Two. Entertaining titles of original works include Mission Possible (an entertaining spoof version of Mission Impossible) and Reggae for Carmen (an amusing mix of Stevie Wonder’s Masterblaster and the Habañera from Carmen) as well as other more traditional arrangement of tunes such as Danny Boy and House of the Rising Sun. The relatively simple top line combined with the more detailed accompaniment offers a range of challenges which will make this book of usethroughout the easy to intermediate stages of learning the guitar. A CD included allowing accompanied performance of the pieces at home. Although the CD is performed on steel-strung guitars this book is nevertheless also perfectly relevant for classical guitarists. Graf has pitched his writing to provide challenging yet idiosyncratic pieces within a framework of highly entertaining styles.(...)(Music Teacher 6/03)Contents: Graf Richard: RichBlues · Bonfa Luiz: Manha de Carneval (Black Orpheus) · Graf Richard: Rain in Spain · Scarborough Fair · Graf Richard: Mission Possible · Russian Tango (Dark Eyes) · Graf Richard: Whatz up · Reggae for Carmen (Habanera) · Graf Richard: Sad Tango · Graf Richard: Flip Flap · House of the Rising Sun · Graf Richard: Bolero · Danny Boy · Oh Happy Day · Graf Richard: Zeit vergeht
