Bluegrass Guitar Series
Bluegrass Guitar Volume 1
Price only $19.95 (Note: After the
checkout, I'll send the download links manually when
notified. Thanks for your patience!)
This program has been designed to give the
Beginning Guitarist a solid foundation on which to
build good technique and working repertoire that
will fit in with informal Bluegrass Jam Sessions.
This book is in two sections: 'Exercises in Picking'
and the 'Song Section'. If you are a complete
beginner, then you will want to start at the
beginning. If, on the other hand, you already know
something about the Fiddle you can move directly
into the song section. The power of this program is
the audio recording, which presents the faster songs
at a variety of slower tempos to build technique.
Song List: Roll In My Sweet Baby’s Arms*, My
Home’s Across The Blueridge Mountains*, Kentucky
Waltz*, Feudin’ Five Strings, Cripple Creek*,
Blackberry Blossom, Wabash Cannon Ball*. (*
Arrangement with vocals.)
Guitar Volume 2

Bluegrass Guitar Volume 2 of this picks up where
we left off in Volume 1. The arrangements for this
book were selected for their ‘jamming appeal’ at
bluegrass festivals. The material was inspired by
your many email and phone-in requests including a
mix of songs ranging from bluegrass standards, vocal
tunes, gospel, banjo instrumentals, fiddle tunes and
so on. There’s a little something for everyone in
this project. You will find many of the techniques
that you’ve been working on in Volume 1 in this
follow up work.
The solos are 'razor sharp',
accurate and faithful to the recordings and designed
to be playable, interesting and practical in jamming
with others. The greatest care has been exercised in
making this recording as professional as possible
giving you the desire to practice along with 'the
Virtual Band'.

practice time.

Christmas Arrangements
Guitar Christmas
Price only $19.95 (Note: After the
checkout, I'll send the download links manually when
notified. Thanks for your patience!)
The Holiday Season is a wonderful time for family
and friends to be together. It is also a great
opportunity to play music! That was the thought
behind this series; playing Christmas Carols as a
family or with friends.
The arrangements
presented in this book are for 1, 2 or 3 Guitars.
They are cleverly arranged to match the
complimentary books in this series: Mandolin
Christmas, Bass Christmas, Fiddle Christmas, Dobro
Christmas and Banjo Christmas. You can mix and match
any of the arrangements in many different
combinations to create some very unique and
entertaining Holiday Music and Caroling.
As
an example, let's say that you have a Fiddle and
Mandolin picker to jam with. You can split up the
parts between the three of you. The Guitar could
play part 1, the Fiddle part 2 and Mandolin part 3.
For variety, you can switch these as you perform.
The second time through the song, as an example, the
Guitar could switch to part 2, the Fiddle to part 3
and the Mandolin could go to part 1. On the next
repeat, switch the parts again! There are many
possibilities. Add a Bass and you will have an
authentic, Christmas Carol Quartet!
This book includes both standard music notation
and Guitar tablature and chords.
Song List:
Angels We Have Heard On High Away in a Manger
Christmas Hornpipe Coventry Carol Deck the Halls God
Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen Hark! The Herald Angels Sing
Oh Come All Ye Faithful O, Holy Night Silent Night
The First Noel (Nowell) We Wish You a Merry
