Book Description

This mandolin edition includes the same 16 tunes found in Kaufman's out-of-printTwin Pickin' flatpicking guitar book, soon to be available as Blazing Solos for Flatpicking Guitar for One Player or More. The tunes in both editions are in thesame keys so the books can serve as a foundation for fabulous twin-picking jam sessions in which either guitarists or mandolinists can take the lead and harmony parts. In addition to the tunes, Kaufman includes performance notes, guidelines for reading standard notation and tab plus his take on the harmonization process. A play-along audio with three tracks for each tune (Lead, Harmony, and Lead & Harmony) completes the package. Includes access to online audio

Book Description

The vision behind Blazing Solos for Flatpicking Guitar for One Player or More was inspired by the simple beauty of two instruments playing in harmony. In order to harmonize, the lead note and the harmony note need to be in harmonic agreement with one another, as well as with the background chord and the key of the song. Steve found that in most cases, but not always, that thinking in thirds will usually achieve the desired sound. The book also contains a section on how to read tablature plus discography. In notation and tablature. Intermediate level. Includes access to online audio.

Book Description

This collection of fiddle tunes originally appeared in "Kaufman's Collection of American Fiddle Tunes for Flatpicking Guitar" (MB 95748) but the book was so large and heavy that they couldn't put all the songs on CDs to include with the package so it was divided into four great, melody-packed volumes. This fourth volume contains delightful American fiddle tunes brilliantly arranged for flatpicked guitar. All of these tunes are written in guitar-friendly keys in notation and tablature. Intermediate in difficulty, the book includes an explanation of the guitar tablature system and the execution and notation of essential techniques such as bends, slides, hammer-ons and pull-offs. the tunes are thoughtfully printed in alphabetical order and include both standards and lesser-known fiddle melodies. Teachers take note- this book is a great source of sight-reading material as well as a departure point for improvisation. Companion audio downloads are available for use with this title.
