Introduction To Celtic Fingerstyle Guitar is for guitarists who want to get familiar with the world of Celtic music on fingerstyle guitar. National Fingerstyle Guitar champion Pat Kirtley presents challenging arrangements in the DADGAD tuning of six traditional tunes from Ireland and Scotland.

These arrangements are designed for guitarists who are already at advanced-beginner to intermediate level and want to explore a completely different musical style. The skill level progresses throughout the lesson from the very easy but melodic Skye Boat Song to a challenging dance tune Boys from Blue Hill.

Pat also shows you:

• The structure and form of Celtic tunes

• How to understand and play dance rhythms – jigs and reels

• How to identify the different types of tunes in this genre

• How to play Celtic ornaments adapted from fiddle and wind instrument techniques

• Ways to embellish the melody

• How DADGAD tuning enhances Celtic arrangements

Titles include: Skye Boat Song, Fannie Power, Moran's Return, The Blarney Pilgrim, The South Wind and Boys From Blue Hill
