Written for players who already have a basic knowledge of chords and strumming, it is equally suitable for guitarists coming to Irish traditional music from other styles.\u003c\/p\u003e\t  \u003cp\u003eThe book explores the developing art of Irish guitar accompaniment and introduces a range of approaches rather than prescribing a single way to play. Frank Kilkelly examines 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.
