Hey Joe,this books actually used to come with 2 cds,now it comes with a download of the 2 cds.I'm not sure how yours did'nt have either.Anyway great review.
Chris- Thanks for bringing this to my attention! That is an embarrassing oversight. Yes, this book comes with online audio access for each of the tunes in this book.
I loved this thank you, i wonder if you have time to review "easy celtic songs in DADGAD by Rob McKillopp or Stuart Ryans "The Tradition" book. Inspiring playing from you.
Thanks for your comment and the recommendations! I'll put those two books on my shopping list. I'll get to them after I get through my current batch of book reviews.
Hey - in general each arrangement provides one full form of the song, although there are at least a few shorter ones (12 bar blues, etc.) that go through the form twice. A lot of these end up being 20-30 seconds in length as written. However, if you were to arrange one of your own choruses/forms, then you could play the main melody (the book's arrangement), your arrangement, and then end with the main melody again. Alternatively, you could take an improvisation chorus in the middle. Finally, you could play and sing many of these tunes (so you would extend them with the multiple verses, instrumental breaks, etc.). Hope that helps!
Great playing Joe and review of the book.. think I will buy one
Thanks for checking out the video! Let me know what you think of the book once you've spent some time with it.
