Excellent overview of techniques
This book divides techniques along stylistic grounds but there is no reason one technique from one idiom cannot be applied to another. Grouped into logical sections and authored by different writers, the book does a credible job of explaining almost all of the techniques (if you are looking for killswitch technique, Morello/Digitech and slap-pop this is not that book) The only fault with this ...

One great book to break out of your rut with!
As a n00b to the Fingerstyle world (started Jan 06) I am always on the lookout for instruction materials. After working thru the Mark Hanson book "The Art of Contemporary Travis Picking" I ran across this book. This book is worth 2x what it costs IMHO! It is laid out very logically, and the 13 "songs" do give you a grasp of how some of the patterns fit together, while giving you a real ...

Perhaps the best book on the subject ever...
I've experimented with both classical and flamenco guitar over the years, but when I discovered this series of books 1 - 3 on contemporary-fingerstyle guitar, I knew that I'd finally found my niche. The notation and tab are first-rate with helpful fingering notation for the beginner. There's plenty of theory and a wealth of techniques, tips and tricks to make sure that the would-be guitarist ...

Guitar Atlas (National Guitar Workshop; Guitar Atlas; Guitar Styles from Around the Globe)
Lou Manzi

Alfred Publishing, 2007

The music of Italy is known for its lively rhythms and emotional melodies. This rich tradition of Italian music has been under-represented in the world music genre until now! Each chapter in this book focuses on a particular region of Italy. Readers learn the history, cultural influences, and instruments of each area. While some of the songs featured were originally performed on instruments such as flute, mandolin, or bagpipes, they appear ...
