STEVE BAUGHMAN
Steve Baughman is a pioneering fingerstyle guitarist known for his emotive arrangements of Celtic fiddle and harp tunes. Steve's playing is characterized by a strong melodic presence and several right-hand techniques that enable guitarists to play old Celtic melodies with ease and emotion. Unlike most guitarists who play in open tunings, Steve rarely uses DADGAD but instead employs a wide variety of rather unusual open and alternate tunings with Orkney tuning (CGDGCD) figuring principally among them. Mel Bay Publications has published three books and one video of Steve's arrangements, including Steve Baughman's Celtic Guitar Method which introduced many pickers to his unique techniques and tunings. His Open Tunings Christmas for Guitar is the first book of Christmas tunes arranged entirely in a variety of alternate tunings.
