Glann is the author of several books for guitar and harmonica, his most recent being Celtic Harp Music of Carolan and Others for Solo Guitar.

I prefer standard notation, but this particular book has great tab. More proficient guitarists could use this book as an excellent point of departure for more delicate compositions.

アイリッシュギターのバイブルです。

Reviewed in Japan on 2 April 2012

エア、マーチ、ワルツ、ホーンパイプ、ジグ、リール、バンティングコレクションからのナンバー、ターロック・オキャロラン（アイルランド音楽の始祖のような人。クラシックでいうところのバッハ）のハープの編曲といった内容になっています。
ケルト、アイリッシュの音楽は基本的にローポジションを使用するため、ギターを始めたばかりの人でもすぐに形になります。（フィドルなども基本的には1stps.で演奏します。）
タブ譜と五線譜、更にテンポの指定もあるので安心です。
ちなみにこの曲集ではセーハの部分はバレー（BI、B'U〜）と表記されているため、クラシックギターを中心に演奏していた私は一瞬何の記号かわからなくなりました。ちょっとだけ注意です。

それぞれの曲には編曲者（大体Traditionalなため作曲者不明）のGlenn Weiserさんによるコメントがついています。
例えば1曲目のAll Through The Nightでは、Musicologists consider this famous Welth lullaby one of the most beautiful of all folk melodies.I learned it from the singing of Bill Morgan, an old friend and traveling companion.The variations at the end are my own.（演奏家はこのウェールズの子守唄を最も美しいメロディーだと考えています。私は古い友人で旅の連れであったビルモーガンの歌からこの曲を学びました。この版の終わりの部分は私自身の編曲です。（翻訳は適当））
というような文がついており、それぞれの曲の由来のようなものが多少なりともわかるため、英語が読めるなら是非一読して下さい。結構面白いことも書かれています。

海外の楽譜にありがちな適当な部分もほとんどなく、しっかりと譜めくりを考慮した楽譜の配置になっている点も好感がもてました。

時間がある限りゆっくりとこの曲集に触れていこうと思います。

Ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo per un prodotto non di facile reperimento. Il prodotto è originale, la confezione è arrivata integra e nuova.

This is amzing, the best way posible to define this type of music. It's the most moving music on the planet.

Good source book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 March 2013

Verified Purchase

There are some really nice tunes in this book and, with a hundred of them, plenty to go at and not involving detuning all the time (there are some tunes where the bottom D string is detuned to E, but that is all). These are not easy arrangements though and is not a book for beginners. However, the tabs help a lot, especially when the tune involves the dusty end of the finger board.
