The most beautiful Irish songs in a sonorous and easy-to-play arrangement for guitar solo. For each song, different accompaniment rhythms and folk picking patterns range from standard to professional accompaniment. Making music together with flute, violin, or vocals is made easy with text, melody, accompaniment, and the solo guitar arrangement often presented on a double page. The workshop includes playing instructions and detailed explanations of the playing techniques. A CD with sound examples of all accompanying rhythms and picking patterns, the solo guitar version, and a playback version for singing along and playing along is also included. Information on the history of the songs' origins and interpretations is provided. No knowledge of sheet music is required (with TAB). Celtic Ballads is particularly suitable for guitarists who want to expand their solo repertoire in self-study, learn and deepen new accompaniment techniques, and for making music together.
