Guitar Airs and Ballads [Paperback] by Bay, William, MB-22039

Nine solos for plectrum guitar written in the tradition of the Celtic ballad and Scottish Aire. Many of the solos call for a 7-string guitar but can certainly be played on a 6-string. Alternate notes are presented for the low 7-string pedal tones in the tablature. The solos give the guitarist an opportunity to play concert settings with a maximum of expression. This book is a sequel to the collection titled "Guitar Meditations" (MB22029). These solo collections address the need for serious compositions for the plectrum guitarist wanting to play in a concert or recital. The music in each collection draws from a wide variety of influences and utilizes many contemporary harmonic concepts. Free audio downloads are available for use with this title.
