Description

Belgian guitarist and composer Gilbert Isbin presents 50 original, short, contemplative pieces in this book and online recording. Designed for sight reading and performance by classical and fingerstyle players of all ages, these world music, blues and jazz-influenced tone poems are written entirely in first and second position in guitar-friendly keys.Adventurous rhythmic concepts with frequent use of pickup notes, syncopated basslines and meter changes make these contemporary guitar solos creative and extremely interesting. The solos feature singable melodies and are easily within the skill level of the intermediate level guitarist. Ideal for concert, recital or just playing for fun. Includes access to an online recording of the author performing each piece.
