Irish Dance Tunes for Flatpicking Guitar Complete Set: Lessons 1-3 – Eric Thompson

Irish Dance tunes, with their evocative modes, engaging ornamentation, and rhythmic variety, make great flatpicking pieces, offering a wealth of exciting material with which to broaden horizons and deepen roots. Eric Thompson has been fascinated with this repertoire for a long time, and was fortunate to perform with master Irish musicians in the 1970’s in both San Francisco and the west of Ireland, including the legendary Joe Cooley. Here Eric teaches several of his favorite jigs, reels and hornpipes, and coaches you in the triplets, grace notes, and nuances that give Irish ceili music its lilt and feeling. For intermediate students.
