Fingerpicking Delights in Open Tunings

by Stefan Grossman

This book is a collection of seven pieces written with the fingerpicking guitarist in mind. Each piece makes use of an open tuning - either DGDGBD or DGDGBbD - and is presented in both standard notation and tablature. Includes an extensive 3-CD set of instructional and performance-based recordings.

Lesson OneThe first lesson we delve into the open G tuning and the original three part composition Lullaby For Anna. This is followed by an arrangement of The Carter Family’s Working On The New Railroad.

Lesson Two The Open Gm tuning is one that I have long favored. It is ideal for many settings and in this lesson we look at three blues oriented instrumentals – Capricorn Five, Lament For A Goodman and Keeper Of The Vine.

Lesson Three Our last lesson continues our explorations into the Open Gm tuning with two blues suites: Sparkling On The Wind and The Three Kingdoms (The Vamp Of Oblivion).
