About Celtic Guitar Encyclopedia: Fingerstyle Guitar
Product Description This comprehensive book contains over 100 Celtic tunes arranged for solo fingerstyle guitar. This edition is derived from a collection of nearly 300 arrangements Glenn Weiser has created over the last twenty years. The book is divided into 4 sections: 1) airs, marches and waltzes 2) hornpipes, jigs and reels 3) tunes from the Bunting collection 4) harp tunes of Turlough O'Carolan. All are in either standard or dropped-D tuning, and can be played on either nylon or steel string guitars. All of these melodies are accompanied with brief historical notes. Written in standard notation and tablature. Intermediate in difficulty. About the Author Glenn Weiser was born in 1952 in Ridgewood, New Jersey and began playing guitar at thirteen. While in high school, he studied classical guitar with Paul Battat, who was a student of Andres Segovia's pupil Rodrigo Rierez. Later, he studied steel string fingerpicking with ragtime guitarist Eric Schoenberg and also took up harmonica, banjo and mandolin. Glann is the author of several books for guitar and harmonica, his most recent being Celtic Harp Music of Carolan and Others for Solo Guitar. He has also written for the magazines Acoustic Guitar, Sing Out!, and Acoustic Musician. Glenn currently teaches guitar in the Albany, New York area and performs in the Northeast.
