The book comes with a link which gives access to mp3 recordings by Adam of all 508 tunes, each played once at a moderate tempo, with rhythm on one channel and lead on the other. Also included in Granger’s Fiddle Tunes for Guitar are instructions for reading Easytab, descriptions of tune types presented in the book, and primers on traditional flatpicking and rhythm guitar.

Download or read book Irish Folk Songs for Classical Guitar written by Steve Marsh and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author Steve Marsh has spent many years playing guitar in the folk clubs of the United Kingdom where Irish music is in abundance. This collection draws from his extensive collection of original arrangements of traditional tunes. The songs vary in style and can be grouped into sets for use in a recital program. Many of the folk songs have been handed down from generation to generation so several versions of a song may exist. Therefore, the author has taken a few liberties with the tempo and rhythmic structures of a limited number of tunes in this collection. In general, the pieces in this album range from moderate standard to difficult. In standard notation only.
Download or read book Encyclopedia of Irish and American Fiddle Tunes written by Duck Baker and published by Mel Bay Publications. This book was released on 2016-02-19 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is intended as a folio of arrangements from the repertoire of a working musician. As such, there is only a minimum of discussion about the technical aspects of playing. Students who have already dealt with the American style called fingerpicking or fingerstyle guitar, which is quite distinct from other kinds of guitar playing, will be at an advantage. the easiest arrangements here are early intermediate level, while the other end of the scale includes pieces that may challenge even a professional. Tunes within each section are presented generally in order of difficulty. the bulk of the tunes presented are fiddle tunes, with a couple of banjo tunes and several songs as well as tunes originally played on other instruments such as harp, pipes, or accordion. There are even a small number composed for the guitar. for the most part, differences in approach among the tunes here are unrelated to the instrumental sources. All the tunes are presented in notation and tablature.

Download or read book Irish Scottish and Border written by Bill Brennan and published by . This book was released on 1994-04-01 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These melodies originated from Ireland, Scotland and the Scottish/English Border counties of Northumberland, Durham and Cumbria. The tunes are all traditional and would normally be played for dancing; the lead instruments would probably be fiddle and accordion with perhaps a flute or whistle. The guitar would play a supportive role. However, these arrangements are intended for guitar solo (hence the lack of chord symbols) and are intended for playing at folk clubs, festivals, etc. They were intended for playing with a flatpick, although a thumb-&-index finger style is used by some players. A CD with 28 melodies accompanies the arrangements.

The author plays eight traditional tunes on Irish flute and tin whistle, each three times through, complete with beautiful variations. He notates each performance in meticulous detail and offers insightful comments on each one. We get a rare and intimate view into the intuitive musical mind of a masterful player, along with extensive information on ornamentation, phrasing, articulation, dynamics and much more. Though the author plays the tunes on flute and whistle, he has carefully designed the book to be useful to players of all melody instruments.
