Folk Friend DADGAD Fingerstyle Collection - Volume One

Nye Farley has been a teacher of both jazz and Irish trad guitar for the last 8 years and is now proud to present the first Folk Friend DADGAD fingerstyle collection! In this book you can 10 arrangements of some of his favourite Irish jigs, reels and polkas for acoustic guitar in DADGAD tuning. They are ranked in order of difficulty and are not too technical so should hopefully be suitable for DADGAD beginners and improvers who are looking for a challenge. They avoid any complicated picking or ornamentation techniques and instead rely on beautiful harmonies and the interplay of overlapping notes to get the most out of this versatile tuning!This book contains tablature and sheet music for all his arrangements, along with detailed playing instructions and a short history of the tunes, their composers and notable players. It also comes with a folder of MIDI play-throughs of each of the tunes, which you can play at any speed you like using a free MIDI player like Midiplay or listen to using built in software like Windows Media Player. These are all included in a file which you can download for free through his website FolkFriend.co.uk.The tunes included are:I Buried My Wife and Danced On Her GraveGer The RiggerThe Rollicking Boys Of TandrageeGallagher's FrolicsThe Glen Cottage PolkaThe Crock Of GoldFather Kelly's ReelDonegal LassThe Lark In The MorningMy Love Is In America
