About the
Book
This book is designed to
accomodate guitarists of all styles,
plectrum, acoustic and electric,
fingerstyle, nylon and steel string.
The traditional pieces,
by nature of their simplicity, are written
as fingerstyle solos, which can be split
into melody (usually the top hne, but
occasionally the bottom line, as
indicated), leaving an accompanying line
which can be played by another guitarist.
This also allows the guitarist to play the
melody with the CD minus-melody version
(even numbers) backing track, as well as
strum chords with the full version
(including melody hne) CD backing track
(odd numbers). Fingering should be adjusted
to suit single note playing.
The popular songs are
more complex, and therefore have been
presented twice. Firstly, a melody line
chord version, to be used with the CD
backing track, followed by a solo
fingerstyle version.
Lyrics have been added
for those who wish to sing along with the
pieces.
