Tony McManus - Celtic Fingerstyle Guitar: An Introduction - DVD
Much of the Celtic idiom is dance music and is defined by the contrasting
rhythms of reels, jigs, slip jigs etc. "The Lark's March" is a great example of
a simple yet attractive Irish jig. "Tullochgorum" is likewise a well known
Scottish Strathspey (a dance unique to Scotland). Often overlooked is the Celtic
music from outside of Ireland and Scotland and here
Tony McManus teaches us one of his
favorite Breton tunes, a "Wedding Gavotte" - the structure of which is very
common in the music of this region. Not to be overlooked, of course, are the
slow airs and O'Carolan tunes! Turlough O'Carolan's (1670 - 1738) music forms a
unique facet of the Irish repertoire. All that survives of the harpists work are
single line melodies so the harmonic accompaniment is a blank slate. Here we are
shown a very accessible arrangement of what is thought to be his first
composition - "Si Bheag Si Mhor". Also included is the enigmatic air "Paddy's
Rambles Through The Park" - a tune from the Donegal fiddle tradition associated
with Johnny Doherty, a key figure in that music. By working through this
material the student will have a grasp of the variety and beauty of music that
has been played in an unbroken chain for centuries. Songs include: "Paddy's
Ramble Through The Park, I'm Asleep, Don't Awaken Me, Si Bheag Si Mhor, The
Lark's March, Tullochgorum, Breton Wedding March, and The Butterfly".

Tony McManus - Not Necessarily Celtic - DVD
Fingerstyle guitarist Tony McManus is known across the world as a leading
exponent of the guitar and an innovator in its' use in Celtic music. But he is
also known for constantly exploring music beyond the boundaries of the Celtic
world. Though his background in traditional Irish and Scottish music has shaped
an original approach to the acoustic guitar, from the beginning of his career he
has applied that approach to a diverse body of work from an African anthem to a
Charles Mingus elegy and more recently the work of composers such as J.S.
Bach! In this lesson Tony takes us through his various approaches to the "other"
music in his repertoire - for example how the ornamentation techniques he
derived from listening to Irish fiddlers can be applied to an ancient Jewish
hymn. Some of these arrangements involve non-standard tunings such as Dropped D
and DADGAD. An introduction to the ideas behind these tunings is also
included. Tony's musical journey has always been an exciting ride - here are his
insights into the creative, unique ideas that make the trip so much fun! Songs
include: "Gnossienne #1, Shalom Aleichem, Wonderful World, Goodbye Pork Pie Hat,
Goldberg Variations Aria (Bach), and N'Kosi Sikelele Africa".

Tony McManus - Celtic Fingerstyle Guitar - Vol I - DVD
Tony McManus is an adept master of Celtic fingerstyle guitar,
both in terms of adapting Celtic music to the guitar, and in its performance - presenting all its
intricacies, graces, and frills, yet at the same time maintaining the pace and
drive which characterizes the style of this music. In this first lesson, Tony
discusses in detail the importance of ornamentations and triplets in Celtic
music and how this can be technically achieved. He illustrates these ideas with
several melodies played in a Dropped D tuning. This is followed by a discussion
of scales and fingerings and playing reels in the DADGAD tuning. This is a
challenging lesson for the fingerstyle guitar student interested in learning
Celtic music from one of the finest players of this idiom! Tunes
include: Dropped D Tuning - "The Islay Ranters Reel, Ye Banks and Braes, The Ewie wi' The
Crooked Horn". DADGAD tuning - "Hector The Hero, Catherine Kelley's Charlie Hunter's Jig, Jackie
Coleman's Reel".

Tony McManus - Celtic Fingerstyle Guitar - Vol II - DVD
In this second lesson,
Tony explores all the dance rhythms of Scottish music, with its pipe-marches, strathspeys,
single and double jigs, slip jigs, and reels. Three unusual tunings are presented: CGCGCD, CGDGCD and DAAEAE.
These tunings are used to better maintain the integrity of the music and Tony has been notably
successful in translating the complex music of the highland bagpipes to the guitar. The idea and playing of
sets is presented as well as further exploration of ornamentation techniques. Tunes include: CGCGCD -
"Irene Meldrum's Welcome to Bon Accord, Hecla, The Ramnee Ceilidh", CGDGCD tuning - "Bidh
Clann Ulaidh", DAAEAE tuning - "The Seagull, Breizh".

Tony McManus - Explorations For Fingerstyle Guitar - DVD
In this collection you'll use the well-known
DADGAD tuning, hopefully showing why it's so popular in Celtic and traditional music. You will
also use CGCGCD or C Sus2 tuning for some of the tunes. This tuning gives rise to some beautiful
chord voicings that suit the essence of this music. You will look at triplets with ring middle and
index fingers, my thumb technique for playing triplets on the wound strings and many other ways of
bringing the guitar to this music in an authentic way. These are not pieces for beginners but neither
should they be out of the reach of an intermediate player with a bit of dedication to bringing these
pieces to life! Songs include: "The Sleeping Tune, Roslyn Castle, Kalyana, Le Tourment, Will You
Come Home With Me, La Re`ve Du Que`teux and Sandizan".
