Traditionally the role of the guitar in Celtic music has been confined to accompaniment of lead instruments or a vocalist. In this book Steve Baughman suggests ways to break free of this mold, allowing the guitarist to internalize techniques that make the expression of Celtic melodies a pleasant endeavor. Divided into two sections, the book covers melodic and percussive expressive techniques. The transcriptions herein are derived from Steve's album, A Drop of the Pure. All are written in standard notation and tablature. As this book contains several pieces in alternate tunings, it would best be suited to the intermediate to advanced player. 95 pages
