Adventures with a Flatpick

Published in 2001, this book contains guitar transcriptions (in normal notation & tablature) of Chris’s best-known pieces. Several of them, including the celebrated Mathematician, are to be found on his solo CD Fretwork. His carefully-worked fingerings and cleverly-designed preparatory exercises bring this wonderful music within reach of the intermediate-level player for the first time and will be immensely illuminating for the more advanced player.

In the course of Chris’s touring career with Máire and with Boys of the Lough, he’s given workshops and masterclasses throughout Europe and North America and some of his most-requested teaching material appears in this book. 38 pages.

Contents: several technical exercises plus the following tunes; McAuliffe's; The Mathematician; Wellington's Reel; A Sore Point; Spike Island Lassies; The Spey in Spate; Fretwork; The Last Resort; The Eclipse; Stroll On!; The Hurricane: The Albatross Waltz
