Guitar Atlas: Italy brings you the lively rhythms and emotional melodies
of Italian music. The rich tradition of Italian music has been
underrepresented in the world music genre---until now! Learn the
history, cultural influences, and instruments of each area of the
country.
While some of the songs featured were originally performed on
instruments such as flute, mandolin, or bagpipes, here they appear as
guitar arrangements for the first time. To help guitarists pick up all
the nuances of style, the book covers both fingerstyle and pick playing,
and explores special techniques such as grace notes, hammer-ons,
pull-offs, and tremolo. Music is both in standard notation and TAB. A CD
demonstrating the book's examples and compositions is included.
