Product Description
This collection of music, which appears in four volumes, is designed to allow guitar players the opportunity to enjoy music of different cultures and styles. It includes Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic, Contemporary, Blues, Rock, Ragtime, Spanish, Flamenco, Brazilian, Eastern, Country and Western and Traditional Folk Music.
The music has been written and arranged to be played using the classical guitar technique, often referred to as finger-picking, and has been ordered according to degree of difficulty. These books contain solo, duet and ensemble guitar pieces allowing players to develop and enjoy both solo and ensemble performance skills. Melodies for Beginners is, as the title suggests, a collection of melodies for beginners (step one to grade one). Book One is of elementary to intermediate standard (grade one to grade four). Book Two is of intermediate to a more advanced standard (grade four to proficiency).
I have been careful to make sure the music Sits Comfortably Under the Fingers. To this end suggested left-hand fingering has been included. Other interpretation markings have, in most cases, been omitted. Players are encouraged to use their own initiative and ideas based on the feel of the music.
Happy music making.
