Not Necessarily Celtic

In this instructional DVD renowned Celtic and folk guitarist Tony McManus takes the student through his various approaches to the 'other' music in his repertoire, for example how the ornamentation techniques he derived from listening to Irish fiddlers can be applied to an ancient Jewish hymn. Some of these arrangements involve non-standard tunings such as Dropped D or DADGAD. An introduction to the ideas behind these tunings is included. Not Necessarily Celtic features tutorials for the pieces Gnossienne #1, Shalom Aleichem, Wonderful World, Goodbye Pork Pie Hat, N'Kosi Sikelele Africa and Goldberg Variations Aria. A PDF TAB/music booklet of all the arrangements isalso included on the DVD.
