Editorial Reviews:

These solo fingerstyle guitar arrangements cover a wide spectrum of American music. They include early hymns of the pilgrims, American Revolutionary war tunes, British folk ballads that later became colonial pop songs, sea chanteys, spirituals, Civil War tunes, pioneer frontier ballads, military hymns, and songs of patriotism. They were selected for their heartfelt melodies and their adaptability for solo instrumental guitar. While these arrangements seek to tap the rich polyphonic nature of the guitar, players of all levels well enjoy them and be richly rewarded with the music that is unleashed here. This collection offers an extensively researched musical snapshot of early America and a reminder of the amazing heritage of this great country. Written in standard notation and tablature. There is also an accompanying CD in this package.


Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars American Treasures: Early AMerican Ballads

I purchased this publication for the music of one song. However, after receiving it I found the entire book to be filled with well thought out sensitive transcriptions. You can't go wrong with this purchase. Buy it while you have the time before our nation's birthday, and learn a piece to play for your community, for guests at a 4th party, or just for yourself and the love of the music. I can't say enough about this book! Truly, America and patriotism are well represented here, for any time of year.
