The book explores the different elements that combine to create an accompaniment style, including tuning, chord choice, strumming and picking patterns, tone, plectrum technique, attack and rhythm.\u003c\/p\u003e\t  \u003cp\u003eFour guitar tunings are covered: standard tuning, dropped D (DADGBE), double dropped D (DADGBD) and DADGAD. Several approaches are demonstrated within the different tunings, using traditional Irish tunes to show how accompaniment techniques can be applied in practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\t  \u003cp\u003eAlongside the practical playing material, the book looks at the structure of Irish tunes, choosing suitable equipment, developing a practice routine and accompanying other musicians effectively. It also includes profiles of leading players and an introduction to the development of the guitar as an accompaniment instrument in Irish traditional music.\u003c\/p\u003e\t  \u003cp\u003eA detailed theory section covers chord construction, fretboard diagrams, chord inversions and voicings, modal chords and modes, barr  chords, slash chords and relative minors. A full listing of the chords used in the book, a transposition chart and a discography for recommended listening provide further reference material.\u003c\/p\u003e\t  \u003cp\u003eThe accompanying CD is an important part of the course, allowing techniques that can be difficult to communicate through notation alone to be heard in practice. Rhythmic accents, strumming styles and the relationship between guitar accompaniment and the melody can all be heard clearly. The examples feature accomplished melody players, giving a practical demonstration of how the accompaniment works within traditional Irish music.\u003c\/p\u003e\t  \u003cp\u003eEach recorded example is presented both with and without guitar accompaniment. After hearing the complete performance, players can use the version without guitar to practise providing the accompaniment themselves, making the Book\/CD edition particularly useful for developing practical playing skills.\u003c\/p\u003e\t  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\t  \u003cul\u003e\t    \u003cli\u003ePractical guide to accompanying traditional Irish music on guitar\u003c\/li\u003e\t    \u003cli\u003eWritten by Frank Kilkelly\u003c\/li\u003e\t    \u003cli\u003eIncludes the essential companion CD\u003c\/li\u003e\t    \u003cli\u003eSuitable for guitarists with a basic knowledge of chords and strumming\u003c\/li\u003e\t    \u003cli\u003eNo previous knowledge of Irish traditional music required\u003c\/li\u003e\t    \u003cli\u003eExplains the structure of traditional Irish tunes\u003c\/li\u003e\t    \u003cli\u003eCovers strumming and picking patterns\u003c\/li\u003e\t    \u003cli\u003eExplores chord choice, rhythm, tone and accompaniment technique\u003c\/li\u003e\t    \u003cli\u003eIntroduces standard tuning\u003c\/li\u003e\t    \u003cli\u003eIntroduces dropped D tuning (DADGBE)\u003c\/li\u003e\t    \u003cli\u003eIntroduces double dropped D tuning (DADGBD)\u003c\/li\u003e\t    \u003cli\u003eIntroduces DADGAD tuning\u003c\/li\u003e\t    \u003cli\u003eUses traditional Irish tunes as practical accompaniment examples\u003c\/li\u003e\t    \u003cli\u003eCD demonstrates rhythms, accents and accompaniment styles\u003c\/li\u003e\t    \u003cli\u003eRecorded examples feature experienced melody players\u003c\/li\u003e\t    \u003cli\u003eEach example is recorded both with and without guitar accompaniment\u003c\/li\u003e\t    \u003cli\u003eVersions without guitar allow players to practise their own accompaniment\u003c\/li\u003e\t    \u003cli\u003eIncludes guidance on choosing equipment and developing a practice routine\u003c\/li\u003e\t    \u003cli\u003eIncludes theory, fretboard diagrams, chord listings and a transposition chart\u003c\/li\u003e\t    \u003cli\u003eIncludes a FREE Hamcor Publishing Treble Clef Key Signature Bookmark\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cp\u003eCombining detailed written instruction with practical recorded examples, Accompanying Irish Music on Guitar Book\/CD helps players understand not only what to play, but how effective Irish guitar accompaniment works.
