Summary of This Method

Resulting from many years spent playing in folk clubs across the United Kingdom, where Irish music is omnipresent, this collection brings together original arrangements made by Steve Marsh based on traditional melodies. The pieces cover several typical characters of the Celtic and Irish repertoire (dances, airs, songs), with a variety of styles allowing the creation of coherent sequences in sets, as one would do in concert or recital. Since some melodies have been passed down through generations, there are sometimes multiple versions of the same theme: the author therefore takes some liberties with the tempo and certain rhythmic structures for a limited number of pieces, while preserving the spirit of the folklore. The whole constitutes an excellent resource for guitarists wishing to enrich their repertoire, work on rhythmic placement, picking consistency, and musicality of phrasing in a traditional context.
