Smith, C Celtic Back-Up for All Instrumentalists Book/Online Audio Reviews

4 Rating 1 Reviews
Read Eagle Music Shop Reviews

This book teaches the most crucial function of a chord instrument in the Celtic seisun (session)- that of playing tasteful, interesting, imaginative, and supportive improvised accompaniment. Celtic Back-Up includes accurate and directly applicable information on the theory, conception, stylistic considerations, procedures, and resources for accompaniment. These concepts are particularly useful in an improvisational setting. Every facet of seisĂșn accompaniment is thoroughly explored. With this book you will come to understand why many of our Celtic authors are reluctant to suggest chord accompaniment with their melodies in the first place; the idea is to be open to fresh ideas and improvise the accompaniment as you go.

I especially like the 'prerequisites' section at the start, and look forward to working along with the book, although I may require more tuition in 'getting there'.
