The Story
Authors El McMeen and Sandy Shalk love the sound of a guitar when played like a harp! Rather than a bouncy, alternating-bass picking pattern, the notes flow and ring out in an atmospheric and evocative way. This book explores the application of that approach to tunes in several different genres, to show the range of possibilities: hymn music, Irish, Scottish, and English traditional music, Stephen Foster Americana, and a Jerome Kern show tune. Includes access to online audio.
