101 Fingerlicking Good
Fingerstyle Guitar Accompaniment Patterns
About This Book
Book and CD - Standard Notation - Tablature
There is perhaps nothing quite as pretty as a gentle fingerpicking guitar music. Think of the beautiful simplicity of the Peter, Paul, and Mary sound. One can listen to any of their songs a thousand times, yet it always sound fresh and worthy of close attention. And their entire "orchestra" was nothing more than a couple of fingerpicked acoustic guitars.
This book contains 101 interesting and varied fingerstyle accompaniment patterns for students, teachers, and working musicians. The patterns, which vary from very easy to intermediate in technical difficulty, cover a wide variety of sounds applicable to most popular styles as well as folk, blues, and gospel music.
For some reason, many existing fingerstyle pattern books limit their focus to stationary chord positions. In real fingerpicking playing, however, the fretting hand is often active, a reality we have considered while preparing the examples. Thus, you will be pleased to discover many new chord interpretations here, just like the ones you hear the pros play on your favorite recordings.
Most of the patterns can be applied to many songs. Your imagination, listening skills, musical taste, technical ability, and inclination to experiment are all important factors to consider at the application level.
Coil bound for your convenience.
