Sacred Music for Fingerstyle Guitar

The body of sacred music takes many forms and, except for the area of gospel music, has not been routinely explored by fingerstyle guitarists. Yet there are techniques available to the fingerstyle player that can be used to create evocative and beautiful arrangements of religious music. In this DVD lesson, El McMeen demonstrates the use of various techniques (including harp style arpeggios and alternating bass) as well as the open tuning CGDGAD, to make the power and beauty of this music accessible and exciting to the fingerstyle guitar player. 88 Mins

Titles include: In Christ There Is No East Or West, Be Thou My Vision, Not Alone For Mighty Empire, In The Bleak Mid-Winter, Amazing Grace, This Is My Father’s World and Silent Night.

Irish Guitar Encores

Irish music offers the fingerstyle guitarist an exciting repertoire of haunting melodies and pulsating dance tunes. Irish Guitar Encores presents El McMeen’s unique approach to arranging Celtic melodies in the CGDGAD tuning. In this DVD lesson, El fully explains the CGDGAD tuning and shows how to use harp-like arpeggios, counterpoint bass lines, melodic picking and alternating bass techniques. El McMeen’s arrangements and playing bring a unique sensitivity to this music. 82 Mins

Christmas Carols and Songs for Fingerstyle Guitar

The variety of Christmas songs and carols provides a fertile ground for fingerstyle guitarists. At the same time, the familiarity of these tunes requires the guitarist to explore creative approaches in order to bring new textures and meanings to these timeless melodies. Employing various tunings, unusual chord voicings, counterpoint lines, alternating bass and arpeggio techniques, El McMeen explains his arrangements of Christmas favorites, ranging from the sprightly Jingle Bells and Bring A Torch Jeannette Isabella, through a tender version of Away In A Manger, to evocative arrangements of We Three Kings and other songs. Three guitar tunings are explored: standard, DADGAD and CGDGAD. 69 Mins

Titles include: Away In A Manger, We Three Kings, Angels We Have Heard On High, Bring A Torch Jeannette Isabella, Jingle Bells, A ’Soaling and We Wish You A Merry Christmas
