The Flatpicker's Guide to Irish Music by Dan Miller and Tim May
|
|
|
Tim May and Dan Miller's book and audio CD "The Flatpicker's Guide to Irish Music" (116 pages) introduces the flatpicking guitar player to ten common Irish tunes and the theory and technique of Irish rhythm. The first part of the book discusses the theory and technique of Irish guitar rhythm, to include right hand technique, chord substitutions, and bass movement within chords. In a typical Irish session, the lead instruments will all play the melody simultaneously and the rhythm guitar player will improvise the chord changes behind the melody. In the second part of the book each of the ten tunes presented include a study the melody of the tune, variations on the melody, standard chords for the tune, and chord substitution variations. The tunes presented cover 3/4, 4/4, 6/8, and 9/8 time signatures and a variety of typical embellishments that are common to Irish music. The concept of modes is also addressed as the tunes that are presented include tunes played in the Ionian, Aeolian, and Dorian modes. Additional rhythm ideas that include harmonized scale rhythm, Drop D rhythm, and DADGAD chords are also presented.

The Flatpicker's Guide to Old-Time Music 160-page book with 2 audio CDs
Tim May and Dan Miller's "Flatpicker's Guide to Old-Time Music" is a 160 page book (with 2 audio CDs) that is designed for flatpickers who want to study the rhythm playing of old-time rhythm guitarists and learn how to play solos to 11 great old-time fiddle tunes. The book is presented in two sections. The first section (60 pages) presents a very thorough study of old-time rhythm guitar. This section emphasizes learning bass note selection and bass note runs and would be ideal for any acoustic guitar player who not only plays in an old-time setting, but any guitar player who plays in a small ensemble that does not include a bass player. If you play in a duo or trio that does not include a bass player, the rhythm ideas presented in this book will help you add a lot of texture and interest to your rhythm playing.

The Big Book of Celtic Tunes
|
|
|
This book is one in a series that provides every article that was published in Flatpicking Guitar Magazine about a particular topic or genre. Here, in this book, we have included the best Celtic Tunes. Since many of the bluegrass songs and fiddle tunes that we flatpickers love to play can be traced back to Irish, Scottish, or English roots, we thought it would be interesting to provide an archival compilation that focused on music from these countries and traditions.
