Published by Ellsworth McMeen Internationally acclaimed guitarist Ellsworth ("El") McMeen has done over 220 solo fingerstyle guitar arrangements and compositions in the last 30 years. He has numerous recordings, books,
and DVD lessons and has concertized throughout the United States.
Of his work, he has selected for this voluminous book
60 pieces with his favorite melodies. (Among them is an instrumental
he composed for his wife, called "Song for Sheila.")
The music is diverse in genre and mood, but each piece is compelling in its own way.
Included are folk tunes, a classical piece, hymns, a patriotic song,
ancient Celtic harp music, lullabies, El's favorite Christmas song
("In the Bleak Midwinter"), El's favorite Irish jig ("The Kid on the Mountain"),
laments, love songs, and Irish airs.
El is included in the Digitaldreamdoor listing of the 100 Greatest Acoustic Guitarists.

Acclaimed fingerstyle guitarist El McMeen has arranged beautiful music for guitar from the harp, song, pipe andhymn traditions. Utilizing the evocative C-G-D-G-A-D guitartuning, the author describes the appeal of each tune presentedand notates the arrangement in detailed tablature and music. The arrangements are a result of a process of experimentation -with ornamentation and counterpoint lines playing in differentkeys and registers. Emphasis is placed on creating and preserv-ing the flow of a piece, sensitivity to accenting, and avoidingany 'jarring' elements, while at the same time following theauthor's Three-second rule (a guitarist must do something in-teresting every 3 seconds of a solo to sustain the listener'sinterest.) Each tune contains brief performance notes and, insome cases, lyrics. To aid in the performance of these songs,this book has a Low-C Chord Chart. The pieces included have very diverse origins, yet they have two common elements - they were not originally composed for the guitar and they are certain to be treasured!

A. Dempsey "Give me a boat that can carry two and both shall row, my love and I." From a rich, vibrant Celtic tradition comes the memorable tune "The Water is Wide," lovingly crafted to evoke misty Scottish landscapes with rolling green hills (you can almost smell the heather). This unabashedly romantic acoustic guitar quartet is perfect for weddings, ceilidhs (or any Celtic-themed event), recitals and concerts. For wedding music, this arrangement is recommended as a prelude, unity candle accompaniment, a bridal march or a bridesmaid processional.
As sacred music, "The Water is Wide" is effective as a prelude, postlude, an offertory, silent prayer accompaniment or special music for traditional church services and other worship events. This melody has been used in multiple hymn settings, including "The Gift of Love," "Though I May Speak with Bravest Fire," and as an alternate melody for "When I Survey the Wondrous Cross." 15 pages of music (that includes the score and separate two-page pullout parts for each guitar).

The word DADGAD refers to the names of the notes on the open strings of one of many alternate tunings for the guitar, one that is very popular with acoustic guitar players. It has a wonderfully warm resonance, allowing you to play simple single-note melodies, yet still fill out the sound of the instrument.The twenty Christmas carols presented here form a perfect introduction to playing guitar in DADGAD tuning. The melodies are presented without added bass notes or chords - just those great melodies, once heard, never forgotten. This means you already know what the tune is supposed to sound like, leaving you to concentrate on playing the notes on the right string and fret, and for the right length of time.This book is the easiest of Rob Mackillop's DADGAD books. It assumes you know how to hold and tune the guitar, and play some notes and a few simple chords. The book includes a Technique Primer to help get you up and running, plus the essential chord diagrams for playing in DADGAD tuning. Book includes access to online audio featuring Rob MacKillop's performance of each piece. The Parting Glass - DADGAD Guitar

by Kenneth Belsham My arrangement of the classic traditional Irish (some say Scottish... I'm remaining silent) tune 'The Parting Glass'. It is for beginner-intermediate/intermediate fingerstyle guitar tuned to DADGAD. I've placed the capo at fret 2, but 3 and 4 are just as nice, and the range works fine with each. There are three verses, a straight melody with sparse root notes, a more involved verse with harmony and rhythmic slaps, and a higher version with some interesting voicings and harmonics.
I hope you enjoy it, and please have a look at my other arrangements and compositions on here! Wexford Carol (traditional), for solo fingerstyle guitar
