Specifications:
One of the finest fingerstyle guitarists on the scene today teaches the exquisite arrangements and flawless techniques that have made her a favorite of both steel string and classical style players!
Muriel analyzes several show-stopping pieces in detail, starting with the lively yet surprisingly easy theme from the Peanuts cartoons, "Linus & Lucy". This famous tune combines a funky bass riff with an independent treble melody groove, resulting in a complex-sounding counterpoint effect.
You'll also learn "RosaLee", her compelling tribute song to Doc Watson; a swinging fingerstyle arrangement of the fiddle tune "Angelina Baker", and a spectacular version of John Phillip Sousa's "Liberty Bell March", in which the guitar imitates the parts of an entire marching band! Finally, Muriel demonstrates and performs her tour-de-force signature piece, "Nola".
The moving bass lines, cross-string playing, and various types of harmonics that make Muriel's playing so distinctive will give you the tools to create your own inventive arrangements. In addition, you'll learn essentials such as nail care, proper sitting positions, tone production, plucking methods and other classically-based techniques that will bring your playing to life.
