Flying Fingers [HL:301412]

There has never been a collection of fingerstyle repertoire like this one. Beginning with the roots of fingerstyle – and artists like Robert Johnson and Reverend Gary Davis – along with works of 20th century masters – like Chet Atkins and John Fahey – and a legion of modern pioneers – like Andy McKee and Tommy Emmanuel – the sheer scope of this collection makes it a must-own for all fingerstyle guitarists. This truly one-of-a-kind book covers an expansive and eclectic variety of styles and techniques, including modern innovations like percussive gestures and two hands on the fingerboard. Over 50 artists are featured, each represented by a single, characteristic piece. All songs are shown in standard notation and tab and include special historical and performance notes, making this book an incredibly valuable tool for any student of fingerstyle guitar. Artists featured include: Chet Atkins, Pierre Bensusan, Alex de Grassi, Tommy Emmanuel, Mississippi John Hurt, Robert Johnson, Jorma Kaukonen, Adrian Legg, Andy McKee, Jerry Reed, Doc Watson, and dozens more.
