[Pre-Order] Tony McManus – Celtic Fingerstyle Guitar According to Tony McManus Vol. 2

In this second lesson on Celtic Fingerstyle Guitar, Tony McManus explores all the dance rhythms of Scottish music, with its pipe-marches, strathspeys, single and double jigs, slip jigs and reels. Three unusual tunings are presented: CGCGCD, CGDGCD and DAAEAE. These tunings are used to better maintain the integrity of the music and Tony has been notably successful in translating the complex music of the highland bagpipes to the guitar. The idea and playing of sets is presented as well as further exploration of ornamentation techniques.

Tunes include: CGCGCD TUNING: Irene Meldrum’s Welcome to Bon Accord, Hecla, The Ramnee Ceilidh. CGDGCD TUNING: Bidh Clann Ulaidh (The Clan of Ulster). DAAEAE TUNING: The Seagull, Breizh.
