It is ideal for the alternating bass technique i.e. Mississippi John Hurt's style of playing. In this lesson we start by learning an arrangement of Marshall Owens' 1930s recording of Try Me One More Time . This was originally played in an Open G tuning but is here arranged in standard tuning using a JohnHurt approach. Not all blues from the 1920s and 1930s were fingerpicked.

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.
