Description:
It is a challenge to arrange and play American fiddle tunes and Celtic melodies on the guitar. This set of lessons presents several approaches for the intermediate guitarist with 3 CDs containing 3 full hours of instruction. Written in notation and tablature. LESSON ONE: Dave Laibman's arrangement of 'Colored Aristocracy' features a Chet Atkins approach. 'Midnight on the Water, ' a beautiful Texas waltz, was arranged by Duck Baker and features counterpoint lines and variations on the theme. 'The West Wind' is an evocative Irish air played with a classical feel. LESSON TWO: American fiddle tunes: 'Boys, My Money's All Gone' played in a Nashville style and 'Last of Callahan, ' an arrangement using a counterpoint bass line played against the melody. LESSON THREE: Fiddle tunes from Ireland and America: 'Rights of Man' and 'Drunken Wagoner' both played in a dropped D tuning (D A D G B E).
