EXPLORATIONS FOR FINGERSTYLE GUITAR taught by Tony McManus
“In this collection we'll use the well-known DADGAD tuning, hopefully showing why it's so popular in Celtic and traditional music. We will also use CGCGCD or C Sus2 tuning for some of the tunes. This tuning gives rise to some beautiful chord voicings that suit the essence of this music. We will look at triplets with ring middle and index fingers, my thumb technique for playing triplets on the wound strings and many other ways of bringing the guitar to this music in an authentic way.
These are not pieces for beginners but neither should they be out of the reach of an intermediate player with a bit of dedication to bringing these pieces to life." - Tony McManus
Titles include: The Sleeping Tune, Roslyn Castle, Kalyana, Le Tourment, Will You Come Home With Me, La Re`ve Du Que`teu

Being a classical guitarist for over four decades, the challenge of playing with different tuning and on steel stringed guitar is refreshing! Thanks Mr MacManus för your pleasant and musical approach to the lovely music. Gives me a new boost in guitar playing!

Why are your nails on your left hand so long? I always thought to protect the fingerboard they needed to be short
