Songs and ballads from Ireland, Scotland and Wales in easy arrangements for 2-3 Guitars by Andreas Schumann.

Tony McManus is an adept master of Celtic fingerstyle guitar, both in terms of adapting Celtic music to the guitar and in its performance – presenting all it intricacies, graces, and frills yet at the same time maintaining the pace and drive which characterises this style of music. In this first lesson, Tony discusses in detail the importance of ornamentations and triplets in Celtic music, and importantly, how this can be technically achieved. Scales and fingerings and playing in the DADGAD tuning are discussed and then illustrated with several melodies played in this dropped D tuning. This is a challenging DVD lesson for intermediate fingerstyle guitar students, but one that will be very rewarding as you learn to play Celtic Music from one of the finest players of this genre. Complete with a 40 page tab/music booklet of all the pieces included in the DVD.

Scottish Airs For Pairs by Matt Seattle. For C Instruments. Solos. Mally's Presents. Scottish. Beginning. Book. 20 pages. Published by Dave Mallinson Publications (MB.AD103). ISBN 9781899512720. Scottish. 8.25x11.75 inches. This is the third book in the Airs for Pairs series and the first to focus on the music of one country. Drawn from centuries of Scottish music, the selection includes well-known tunes alongside some rarer gems, as well as two fine modern compositions: my thanks to Brian McNeill and Martin Marroni for permission to include these. The book also includes one arrangement each by Nathaniel Gow and William C Honeyman as interesting examples of previously published duets. Older tunes frequently exist in multiple versions, so while the harmonies work with the versions here they will not necessarily go with different versions which you may already know. Bowings have been included as a guide for the less experienced, but more experienced players will feel free to use their own. The harmonies are there to enhance the tunes, so it is often effective to play the tune solo or in unison first before adding the harmony, which should never drown the melody. Ornamentation is an integral part of this music but it has not been written in, leaving scope for personal style and the exuberance of the moment - enjoy the music!
