DADGAD Understanding For Fingerstyle Guitar. Doug Young. CD TAB.

Product Description: 144 pages.
Understanding DADGAD is a complete introduction to using the DADGAD tuning for fingerstyle acoustic guitar. The book systematically explores the tuning, starting with simple chords and scale patterns, ultimately showing how DADGAD can be used to play in nearly any key and in many different musical styles. Topics include moveable and open-string chords and scales, intervals, the harp-effect, common chord progressions in DADGAD and more, all in the context of either short musical examples or complete tunes.

Rather than just providing scales, chords, or tunes, this book guides the reader through the process of understanding the guitar from the perspective of DADGAD tuning. Topics are organized as a series of small self-contained sections ideal for a single study session or lesson. After exploring extremely easy ways to get started with DADGAD, involving as little as a single finger on the fretting hand, the book progresses to examples that will interest even more advanced players. 200 musical examples, including several full performance-quality pieces, demonstrate each concept. The companion recording features the author playing many of the examples.

A complete introduction to DADGAD tuning for fingerstyle acoustic guitar.
Begins with simple chords and scale patterns and progresses to more complex musical examples in many different keys.
Topics include moveable and open-string chords and scales, the harp-effect, intervals, common chord progressions in DADGAD and more.

DELUXE PEDAL STEEL GUITAR METHOD, DEWITT SCOTT. CD TABLATURE

Product Description:
This is the standard-bearer for pedal steel instruction books. It is extremely comprehensive in scope. Written by DeWitt Scott, founder of the International Pedal Steel Guitar Convention and member of the Pedal Steel Guitar Hall of Fame, this course teaches E9 tuning, Nashville set-up pedal steel with three floor and three knee levers. If you want to learn pedal steel, this book will show you how. The accompanying CD is in split-track format, allowing the student to play with the rhythm accompaniment, the pedal-steel solo parts, or both.

FINGER HARMONICS
Another form of harmonics is the finger harmonic. You use the 3rd or ring finger of the right hand. You must place the center of the tip of the finger on the string on which you are to produce the harmonic.
The thumb is tucked under the ring finger, actually anchored on the ring finger and stays there while the thumb picks the proper string.
The thumb is now playing behind the finger instead of in front of
it, as in the other harmonic positions. On a 15 fret harmonic, the
thumb will be picking the string at about the 18th fret.

KNUCKLE HARMONICS
This is the most difficult style but it is just as beautiful if not more
clear than all the others. With this style, you tuck the 3rd and 4th fingers of the right hand under and lightly touch the string with the knuckle. It is a clear harmonic, especially when played close to the bar.
NOTE: With the knuckle and palm harmonic styles it is possible to pick one string with
harmonics and another normally. This produces a very nice effect which we will demonstrate
on the following pages.

BASIC C6th NONPEDAL LAP STEEL METHOD. DeWitt. 37 Pezzi, fotografie, consigli e altro. CD TAB.

Product Description:
Made famous by the legendary Jerry Byrd, the C6 tuning [CEGACE] for the non-pedal lap steel guitar has many advantages due to its versatility. The tuning is especially useful in playing two and three-string chord combinations and for easy single-string passages. Patience, dedication and many hours of practice are needed to perfect the "slant" bar positions, especially the reverse slants, but the end result is well worth the effort. This excellent text, written by Steel Guitar and Country Music Hall of Fame member DeWitt Scott, is written in standard notation and tablature.

HAWAIIAN SLACK KEY GUITAR LEARN TO PLAY, BY KEOLA BEAMER AND MARK NELSON. 40 titoli, 160 pagine. CD TAB.

Product Description:
Hawaiian slack key guitar (Ki Ho'alu) is one of the world's great acoustic guitar traditions. This tradition includes virtuoso guitar pieces, but the majority of songs played slack key are classic Hawaiian melodies either played as instrumentals or as accompaniment to vocals with instrumental breaks between the verses. The term "slack key" does not refer to a type of guitar, but rather to any guitar played in the slack key style, that is, in alternate tunings with "slacked" strings and fingerstyle technique. Acknowledged slack key master Keola Beamer is a member of a family known for its musical artistry for generations. We are fortunate to have him writing in conjunction with veteran Mel Bay author, educator and multi-instrumentalist Mark Nelson, who simply followed his love of the music to the Islands. Written in standard notation and tablature to accommodate numerous alternate tunings, this book is presented in four sections: 1) The most common tuning introduced by fairly easy songs; 2) Illustrations of how to build your own arrangements; 3) A presentation of various slack key tunings; and 4) A selection of duets in the slack key style. Historical and cultural insights are offered throughout in the spirit of aloha, producing an informative, musically enlightening book with soul and humor. The companion CD features tuning tracks and informal introductions of the audio content by the authors, plus some beautiful slack key music.
