This book presents a practical step-by-step approach to fingerstyle guitar arranging technique.
Two paths are methodically introduced:
1.) A description of the technical resources used in solo arranging, with examples in standard notation and tablature plus their respective online audio recordings.
2.) An explanation of how these resources might be applied, along with the interpretive criteria needed to achieve maximum musical expression.
At the end of the book, all resources are combined in a complete fingered arrangement of the medieval melody, "Scarborough Fair” with an analysis that reflects all aspects of the arranging process. Includes access to online audio.
