Whether you are studying with a techer or on your own, let the acoustic guitar method be your guide to joys and pleasures of playing guitar. This comprehensive approach with graded lessons and supplementary songs, is the one tool you need to get started. On the companion CDs you'll hear clear performances of all the music in the book. 

Welcome to the Acoustic Guitar Fingersty/e Method. This book focuses on the two most essential fingerstyle approaches for playing American roots music, Travis picking and the steady-bass style. In each lesson, you'll be introduced to new techniques, concepts, and chord voicings and shown ways to practice them and get them under your fingers. Then you'll use what you've just learned to play a new song or solo break. If you mostly play and sing, these lessons will give you the tools to spice up your guitar accompaniment as well as add instrumental breaks, intros, and outros. Ifyou'd sooner dance down the street in your underwear than sing, this book will give you lots of ways to make cool and complete-sounding music all by yourself without ever opening your mouth. Either way, by the end of this book, you'll have a whole new repertoire of tunes to play and a big handful of new chops to play them with. The Acoustic Guitar Fingersty/e Method picks up where the Acoustic Guitar Method left off, and assumes that you're familiar with picking patterns and with at least a dozen essential open-position chords. However, in case you're starting from scratch with this fingerpicking thing, or could just use a little brushing up, in the first lesson we'll review simple picking patterns and how to apply them to chords. (Speaking of which: for a detailed discussion of the theory, construction, and naming of chords, you might check out the Acoustic Guitar Chord Book, written by the very same quirkily handsome and surprisingly coherent gentleman who has the privilege of your attention at the present moment.) So if you think you've already got all these preliminaries in the bag, proceed directly to Lesson 2. Youmay pass Go, but alas, there is no $200 waiting for you. On the flip side, you won't have to sit on your hands for most of the book waiting for Mississippi John Hurt to hit your hotels on Boardwalk or Park Place ...

EMMANUEL TOMMY, ENDLESS ROAD. TABLATURE

LIBRO DI MUSICA ACUSTICA.

SPARTITI PER CHITARRA CON: 

ACCORDI, PENTAGRAMMA E TABLATURE. 

15 instrumental cuts on the album including musical notation and Tablature.

Product Description:
Mel Bay Publications presents a collection of arrangements and original compositions from Australian guitarist Tommy Emmanuel's 2005 CD, Endless Road. Not for the faint of heart, this outstanding collection of intermediate to advanced solos includes two pop standards (Somewhere Over the Rainbow and Mona Lisa) plus thirteen of Tommy's incredible compositions.

You’ll gain insights into Tommy's playing style through note-for-note notation and tablature transcribed by Mark Pritcher who has added suggested chord progressions to each tune to serve as a harmonic guide to the player. In addition, detailed performance notes and select chord grid diagrams further enhance accessibility to the works of this masterful guitar tunesmith.

Tommy’s music incorporates thumbpicking, jazzy single lines, chord-melody arranging techniques, complex use of harmonics and more. Playing through this collection will give you a whole new appreciation for your guitar!

ENDLESS ROAD

This piece was written during a time of great change in Tommy's life and has many moods and movements. Tommy says, "This song is about ajourney. It tells us that as we go down the road we encounter problems and changes and we weather through them and then get back on track." The song is played with a flat pick, and uses"hybrid picking" to attain a form of fingerpicking using a flat pick instead of a thumbpick. Tommy gets a groove going from the beginning with a constant droning strum, interspersed with melody that is played both with the pick and fingers. The pick is held with the thumb and first finger, leaving the second and third fingers to help with the melody. As the song begins, you must target the melody notes with the pick. If that is hard for you, you can use your second and third fingers to pluck the melody notes. I have made some suggestions for the strum pattern. "p" refers to the thumb and first finger holding the pick. "mil indicates the middle or second finger. "i" indicates the ring finger. The bold bracket pointing down indicates a pick stroke in the down direction, towards the floor, and the "v" symbol indicates an up stroke with the pick. In the third measure for instance, the bracket over the bass note shows a down stroke with "p" and the third string is played with the ring finger. This general technique is used anytime there is a bass note and a separate melody note. The "X" indicates either a right hand percussive strike at the strings, or a percussive strum across strings that are dampened and muted by the left hand. In measure 17 the F#on the first string is part of a transitional D chord, although all you hear is the melody note. At measure 59, the second "movement" begins, with a lyrical dancing melody, and much pick work. At measure 101, the arrow pointing down indicates a strum from the high to the low strings, and the tension builds. By measure 107, there is more use of both middle and ring fingers on rolling chords. The big strum at the end of 119 takes us into the key change to E. At measure 130 there is the first of three almost identical ''Django" style chromatic runs, the last of which takes you back to the key of G. Hints of the opening theme are heard once more, and at measure 173 we are back to the main melody. Give it a try and if you are not comfortable with the flat pick, give it a try with a thumbpick.

TOMMY EMMANUEL

Tommy Emmanuel is a phenomenal guitarist. He has been recognized internationally for his virtuosity in playing all types of music on the guitar. Besides that, he is an entertainer, and he makes people happy. His audience is immediately aware that they are in the presence of a very gifted guitarist, and the "musical powers that be" are fast becoming aware of his gift. In the late 1990's he recorded a CD with his mentor, guitar legend Chet Atkins, and devoted more time to touring in the United States. He moved his home from his native Australia to England, and recently to the U.S., and chances are that he will be performing somewhere near you before too long. His compositions seem simple to the ear, but are incredibly complex when analyzed. The fifteen instrumental tunes from the "Endless Road" CD represent many styles. You will hear bluegrass, jazz, pop standards, slow tunes and very fast tunes, and you will hear music asTommy hears it. Whether you are a beginner or an accomplished player, I know you will enjoy working on these tunes. In Tommy's playing there is always more going on than meets the eye or ear. He uses multiple techniques and tricks to get his unique sound. He sometimes mutes strings with the palm of his right hand, and sometimes with the fingertips of his left hand. When he is playing with a thumbpick, he may strike the strings with the pick, brush down with the far side of his right hand fingertips, or brush up with the near side of the right hand fingertips. He often uses unexpected chord fingerings, especially if it facilitates the movement to the next chord or position. It is rare for him to have unanchored notes. In other words pay attention to the chord symbols or diagrams. Often the music shows you the notes that are being played, but just as is important are the "notes" that are not played. No matter how many notes are sounded, there may be other notes being fretted that are not plucked with the right hand, but are important all the same. Tommy's tunes usually do not require a back up guitar, but I have provided the chords as I hear them, and sometimes I have "created" chords based on one or two melody notes. Chords provide a framework for analysis. Many of the tunes have key changes, and you can follow the changes with the chords. Usually the fretboard diagrams included above the music are for hand position only and are not meant to show a specific chord. The gist of a tune is the same each time he plays it, but the tunes on this CD were improvised to some extent, and thus must be recreated "by ear". Also Tommy is known to use different fingerings in the same tune, if it helps the playing of the song. For instance an "A" chord at the second fret may be fingered differently depending on what comes after it. Also for some tunes Tommy uses a flat pick and fingers, a technique sometimes called "hybrid" picking. This may present a problem for those of you who are strictly fingerpickers. But give it a try, and if you still find it awkward, you may find that those tunes are also playable in a "fingerstyle" manner...
