A collection of 23 Celtic songs arranged for Guitar with standard notation and Tab. Includes a comprehensive guide to Flatpicking Celtic style Guitar and also a CD of examples. For me playing the Guitar is all about finding pieces of music that you want to play over and over again. I don't know a formula for what makes up a great piece but I know it when I hear it. A good piece of music is not a page with notes hanging in a museum it is music you come back to ten years later and love it just as much as you did when you first heard it. Whether it’s a classic piece by O'Carolan or a traditional piece in the Celtic tradition that is what I believe you will find inthis book. Quite simply these are beautiful arrangements of Celtic Music that you will keep you coming back. So if you love playing the guitar and you are looking for music you will be playing for a lifetime this is the book for you. Allan Alexander

Salsa has become quite a dance craze. Its popularity has grown from the Cuban and Puerto Rican community to include most of the Americas Europe and even Japan. New Salsa bands are forming everywhere from New York to Los Angeles from Tokyo to Paris. But despite its increasing popularity many musicians find that Salsa and the other genres of Afro Cuban Music are still very difficult to feel and play in an authentic relaxed way. This type of music with its unique concept of the Clave presents quite a challenge for the aspiring young performer. In the past the only way to learn how to play Salsa was to live in an area where Salsa was already very popular so that one might connect with as many authentic musicians as possible; learning one pattern here another there via a very slow learning process that could take years if not decades to accomplish. Even though the process of immersing oneself fully and experientially in the music style of our choosing is absolutely necessary for our musical growth the need for concise well written and organized materials written by someone who knows and lives this type of music is also essential. We at ADG believe that Mr. Campos' books are doing exactly that. We believe that he has done a great service by writing his first two books titled Salsa: Afro-Cuban Montunos for Piano and Salsa: Further Adventures in Afro-Cuban Music and now with his latest book Salsa: Afro-Cuban Montunos for Guitar. Mr. Campos is helping to expand the area of Salsa studies to include all guitar players and students. Salsa & Afro Cuban Montunos for Guitar by Carlos Campos.

Following on from his highly successful Salsa piano/keyboard instructional books Carlos Campos has created a book for guitarists with over 400 examples (60 examples recorded) with each example for 2-3 and 3-2 clave. There is both written music and tablature These Salsa patterns can be used for Jazz Latin Jazz and Flamenco musical styles. Salsa has become quite a dance craze.

Due to the popularity of Ben Tompsett's book series 'Ultimate Funk Grooves' for Tenor Alto and Flute Ben has now produced a version for Brass instruments. Funk and its infectious style remains a popular part of the music we listen to today. Timeless recordings from such artists as James Brown The Commadores Stevie Wonder The Meters The Crusaders Brecker Brothers The Average White Band Sly & The Family Stone Tower Of Power Prince The Blackbyrds Manu Dibango Maceo Parker Junior Walker & The All Stars and many more continue to enjoy massive popularity and have had a major influence on contemporary music styles such as Hip-Hop Rap andR&B. The Trumpet in Funk music has its place not only in the horn section so often heard in this genre but also as a dynamic solo instrument. This book contains ninety-two riffs that showcase the different ways in which the soloist can create a distinct Funk sound to their playing. The downloadable audio tracks that come with the book include thirty-one different grooves that accompany each of the riffs influenced by the aforementioned artists and cover a wide range of different funk styles from the mid sixties to the present day. The book is intended for the musician who wants to practically develop their playing style and improvisation technique in this genre.

The Bluesier Side of Jazz by Andrew D. Gordon was inspired by the Piano students he teaches at Shepherd University School of Music in Los Angeles and is dedicated to those students: Jungwon Yumiko Yoko Eunice Sooji Hae Ji and Ok Kyu. As with many students that come from a classical background (including himself) it is a difficult transition to learn to play Blues & Jazz. When a musician improvises they usually play a variety of riffs or phrases that they have developed and learnt over a period of time and can access these phrases instantaneously whatever key they are playing in to create a seamless improvised solo from the phrases they havelearnt. Andrew's idea for this book is to create phrases or riffs over two measures of various Blues progressions. He sub-divided each of the 12 Bar Blues progressions used in this book (the chord progression for Watermelon Man is a 16 measure progression) into six sections (two measures each) and within each of the six sections created four different phrases or riffs so that the student has a choice of four different phrases to play over every two measures. They can then create a solo based on which phrase they choose for each two measures. By breaking down these phrases to two measures each he has found that the students have an easier time of learning to improvise than by trying to transcribe a whole solo from an audio recording or leaving them to their own devices in trying to play a solo based on the Blues scale or other related scales. Each of the ten examples are based on common Jazz/Blues chord progressions from Jazz songs such as 'Watermelon Man' 'Blue Monk' 'Tenor Madness' 'Route 66' 'Blue Trane' 'Bag's Groove' starting off with basic I-IV-V chords and increasing in complexity throughout the book. There are over 200 phrases/riffs to choose from that can be learned and applied to many types of jazz songs.
