Fingerstyle Guitar Tunes - An Early American Christmas by Raymond Gonzalez Pdf

This collection of Christmas carols includes 17 iconic and lesser-known holiday songs arranged in standard notation and tablature for the intermediate fingerstyle guitarist. The compilation is unique in that its selections reflect the soundscape of the Precolonial Era of American history. While many of these carols originated in 17th and 18th century Europe, some are homegrown spirituals, and one is a Huron melody. In these lyrical arrangements, author/guitarist Raymond Gonzalez applies his gift for combining traditional harmonies with occasional harmonic and rhythmic twists, adding freshness and color to traditional music. All pieces are in standard or dropped-D tuning and are suitable for both steel and nylon-string guitar performance. Includes access to online audio of every tune as expertly recorded by the author.

Fingerstyle Guitar Tunes - Beautiful Airs & Ballads of the British Isle by Raymond Gonzalez Pdf

This fingerstyle guitar collection features 20 engaging lyrical tunes from England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales plus three original pieces by accomplished guitarist, trumpeter and composer William A. Bay, president, and editor-in-chief at Mel Bay Publications. Tasked with writing intermediate-level arrangements in either standard or dropped-D tuning, guitarist/arranger Raymond Gonzalez displays uncommon music rethinking skills while preserving the plaintive and lilting nature of these enduring melodies. Unique to these settings, you will find sparse, open-chord harmonies accentuated by double hammer-ons and pull-offs, and the odd harmonic mixed with normal tones within a melodic line— all reminiscent of gentle waves washing up against a rocky island shore. Conceived to be played on either steel or nylon-string guitar, these pieces are written in both standard notation and tablature. Includes online access to the author’s own audio recordings.
