Davey Graham is a perfectionist. Since 1961 when he recorded the quite remarkable - and largely unnoticed - 3/4 AD with Alexis Koerner he has restricted his record output and almost everything he has recorded has been of a high standard. So when he agrees that this is one of the finest records he has made it really has to be one of the finest Guitar records of recent years. Throughout his career he has mixed these high personal standards with an inventive daring approach to music. Because he plays acoustic Guitar he may have been labelled as a 'folkie' but nothing could be further from the truth. He knows a great deal about folk music - and the folk music ofNorth Africa and India as well as Britain and America - but he also has a strong interest in medieval music later classical music jazz and the blues. The sixteen tunes on this album were all chosen because they were instrumentals Davey likes and enjoys playing rather than to demonstrate particular Guitar styles but of course the results work on both levels. This album is both an intriguing musical selection and a tribute to his remarkable technique. He has included hymn tunes a selection of Irish melodies that are a great personal favourite of his. 'They are mostly pipe and fiddle tunes and I've been working on them for some time. I take a great interest in the Irish scene and I'm learning the language'. Alongside these there are the classical and medieval pieces ranging from Vaughan Williams' Down Ampney to the Prelude From The Suite In D Minor by Robert De Visee ('a Frenchman who matched Dowland'). Also included is a PDF TAB/music booklet featuring these songs from the recording: Medley: Lord Mayo/Lord Inchiquin; Lashtal's Room; Renaissance Piece; Hardiman The Fiddler; Fairies' Hornpipe; Forty-Ton Parachute . You will need Adobe Acrobat (a free download) to open and print this file from your computer.

The compositions of Turlough O'Carolan born in 1670 have a special place in the story of Irish music as does the figure of Carolan himself a blind itinerant harper living at a time of significant change in Irish history.Carolan seems to embody the image of the old bards in whom resided the last vestiges of the ancient music and the lost art of extempore poetry. His music is often seen as a link between traditional Irish melodies and baroque musicbut more importantly it includes some of the most striking melodies ever composed in any tradition. Originally written for harp these compositions lend themselves perfectly for the fingerstyle guitarist. In this lesson Duck Baker teaches a wide variety of Carolan pieces from the simple folk-like air Blind Mary to the stately Hewlett. The mysterious Planxty Kelly and the deeply melodic The Fairy Queen are presented as well as Carolan's Concerto a complex folk-baroque arrangement of the bard's most celebrated composition.

The best way to learn any instrument is to have lessons from a good experienced teacher. Although happily the number of such teachers is constantly growing the recorder is still frequently taught by enthusiastic but inexperienced teachers and many players start by teaching themselves. This series of books sets out to help learners of all ages in all three situations. Experienced teachers who may choose to disregard much of the text as personal demonstration is always clearer than the written word will find exercises and fine tunes a-plenty to support their own method at each stage. The less experienced will benefit from many valuable teaching hints culled fromlong experience and may rely on the books to lead to a sound playing technique and a mastery of simple notation. Those learning by themselves - and I started in this way - are urged to work carefully and systematically through the books taking plenty of time to assimilate each point before moving on. For them without the personal model provided by a live teacher it is vitally important to listen as often as possible to fine players in person or on record so that they have in their mind's ear a clear notion of the kind of sound they would like to produce. But however they start I can only wish that all who use these books will derive as much pleasure and musical satisfaction and gain as many lasting and valued friendships as I have through this most subtle delightful and sociable of instruments. (Brian Bonsor) ...this work is likely to become a standard work very quickly and is to be recommended to all schools where recorder studies are undertaken (Oliver James Contact Magazine) Descant Tutors provide a sound-playing technique a mastery of simple notation and contain 570 tunes including concert pieces by Bonsor carols attractive rounds and melodies by 'early music' composers. Clear line drawings greatly assist the pupil making them especially suitable for self-instruction.

Celtic Fingerstyle Guitar Volume 2-The challenge for those who attempt to translate Celtic traditional music for fingerstyle guitar is to preserve the unique qualities which are the essence of the style. This has been achieved by taking a minimalist approach in arranging and by using alternate tunings. The minimalist direction is characterized by the thought that most of this music consists of but two elements: melody and rhythm. Harmonization in the classical sense tends to sound out of place. With this standard musical device unavailable successful approaches are found in fiddle-and-pipe-like embellishment of melody and rhythmic bass patterns.

He stood 6' 3' wore size 16 shoes had skin so dark it shined like silver and poured out his darkest sorrows in a voice that sounded like a rampaging chainsaw.

Blues Festival in November 1970 supported by his top-notch band. Hear him moan his earth-shaking blues and watch his unforgettable stage antics and you'll see why Sam Phillips – who also discovered Elvis Presley Johnny Cash and Jerry Lee Lewis - called Howlin' Wolf his greatest discovery.
