Book Reviews of Mel Bay Pat Kirtley Irish Guitar: Celtic Guitar Solos
Book Review: Pat Kirtley Irish Guitar - Music Book Review
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is excellent. It accompanies Pat Kirtley's CD of the same name and I would strongly recommend you buy a copy to listen to in tandem with learning the tunes in this book.
This book contains the tablature and sheet music for every tune on the CD. In my experience that's pretty unusual - and makes it excellent value.
I suggest listening to the CD first. If you like the tunes enough to want to play them then you'll love this book.
The introduction contains very good playing notes on each tune. For example: "[For Rodney's Glory] I use my left hand thumb to fret many of the notes on the 6th string. At the beginning of the B part (measure 11), keep a barre across 3 strings at fret 7 with your index finger."
See? As I said, this book is excellent. You won't be disappointed.
Summary of Mel Bay Pat Kirtley Irish Guitar: Celtic Guitar Solos
World traveling fingerstyle guitarist Pat Kirtley presents 17 solo guitar arrangements of traditional Irish tunes including a few original compositions in the same vein by himself, Pierre Bensusan, and Duck Baker. As all of the tunes in this 1997 recording were arranged in altered tunings (DADGAD, EADEAE or DADEAD), each appears in both standard notation and tablature with insightful performance notes. In general, these transcriptions from Pat Kirtley's 1997 album of the same title are extremely accurate;The Red-Haired Boy, however, played as a duet with Steve Rector on the album - appears as a solo arrangement in this book. Recommended for the intermediate to advanced player, the author provides insightful performance notes for each tune.Instruments & Performers Books
