Summary of This Book
This book is aimed at already experienced fingerstyle guitarists seeking a challenging repertoire and concrete tools to deepen their solo playing. Presented as the first American publication dedicated to Pierre Bensusan's arrangements, this method-collection highlights his way of orchestrating the guitar: a balance between rhythmic precision, harmonic richness, and melodic singing.
The progression is built around sections dedicated to different aspects of guitar performance. Rather than remaining theoretical, each point is put into perspective through pieces, allowing technique to be practiced in a musical context: phrase articulation, dynamic control, timing, balance between bass and melody, and sound control.
The musical content stands out for its diversity. It notably includes traditional Irish fiddle tunes reimagined for guitar, French ballads, as well as other pieces from various composers. An ideal approach to develop expressive playing, consolidate fingerstyle technique, and enrich interpretative vocabulary with arrangements that are both educational and artistic.
