Alistair Russell
Celtic Session Guitar Accompaniment
Budding and even some more experienced guitarists have often hung around the edges of a club, bar or festival session wishing they knew the secrets and styles to keep up with the fiddles and melodeons. Well now they can thanks to this DVD by Alistair Russell (ex-Battlefield Band). This tutorial DVD will give players the confidence to join a session at home or at a festival, or jam with your local Celtic pub band. Using only eight chords, students will be taken through five jigs and five reels in several keys, with slowed-down explanations of rhythmic patterns, all in the standard tuning, familiar to all beginners.
"This is a clear, friendly and helpful introduction to the art of accompanying (Celtic) tunes on the guitar….straightforward, usable information…charming presentation." Martin Simpson
This DVD can be purchased for just £20 from The Folk Store
