Dirt Simple Electric Guitar Solos On Open Strings

ÊThis guitar method focuses on playing engaging rhythmic themes entirely on open strings. What seems at first to be a simple task quickly becomes a real challenge, requiring a high level ofÊaccuracy and an excellent sense of rhythm. While the picking hand can only play what the other hand has prepared, nothing musical will happen unless you pluck the right string. Sven NierÕs exercises and tunes offer motivating, effective training to facilitate hitting the correct string with precision, winning half the coordination battle. While the audio examples are recorded on an electric instrument, guitar teachers and beginning students in all styles will appreciate this innovative book. Includes access to outstanding play-along online audio with and without the solo part.

Designed with easy, intermediate, and more challenging parts, this mix of traditional, classical, and original melodies arranged for guitar trio is ideal for a classroom of students at various playing levels. Written in 3-part score format in standard notation only, these 1 to 3-page arrangements are ideal for advancing sightreading skills as well as recital performance. All the arrangements are in guitar-friendly keys and use open strings as much as possible. The author’s downloadable audio recordings are available for every tune; these can be used strictly as an audio reference or for private or group play-along. Even beginning guitarists can enjoy the ensemble experience with this much-anticipated book! In addition, many of the first and second guitar parts can be played on another soprano instrument like the violin, flute, or recorder—so a mixed ensemble is also possible. Includes access to online audio.

Most instrumentalists would agree with the author’s introductory statement, that the six Bach cello suites are “…one of the greatest collections of solo instrumental music ever written.” Many amateur classic guitarists have endeavored to play favorite movements of the suites, and a few professionals have recorded all six in their entirety. The author himself has played them on various plucked-string instruments. Here, for the first time, Rob MacKillop and Mel Bay Publications present the Six Cello Suites of J. S. Bach, transcribed for the plectrum-style acoustic or electric guitarist! According to MacKillop, Bach had an overall didactic plan and each suite increases in emotional depth and difficulty, posing specific problems to the plectrum guitarist or any instrumentalist. For example: Using a pick, how do you play a 2-note interval when there is a string in-between the two notes? MacKillop provides a good deal of fingering in the early suites suggesting solutions to this and other issues, but ultimately encourages readers to make their own decisions through careful analysis and left-hand fingering. If you stay the course and play through all six suites, you will gain a personal understanding not only of the Baroque suite, but also of left-hand digitation, picking direction, and the guitar fretboard. Written in standard notation in guitar-friendly keys for the intermediate to advanced plectrum guitarist, this book is destined to be a part of university curriculums and recitals worldwide. It deserves a place in your music library too.
