I've just published the first book in my series of repertoire pieces for Intermediate guitarists: "Drowsy Maggie Variations".
"I composed these variations on the traditional Irish Reel "Drowsy Maggie", which is featured in my Basic Repertoire series. Visit any Irish Pub around the world and you are likely to hear this tune during the evening. It is also a popular tune at Bush Dances.
This arrangement is suitable for:
Fingerstyle guitarists who would like to add a great solo piece to their repertoire
Guitarists who want to learn how to make the guitar "speak"
Guitarists who want to revitalise their playing
Guitarists who want to master the essential language of rock and pop music. (Notice that the basic riff and harmonies are similar to "Whole Lotta Love" by Led Zeppelin.
Any musician who wondered how to use the Dorian mode, and make it sound good, and
Any musician who would like to gain more understanding of how to write and arrange for the guitar.
You can preview 50% of the the book here: http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/459180.
