ASHOKAN FAREWELL GUITAR ARRANGEMENT by Jay Ungar; arranged by John Lehmann-Haupt Photo
Jay Ungar and Molly Mason, his musical partner and wife, have run the Ashokan Fiddle and Dance Camp in upstate New York for many years. Jay wrote "Ashokan Farewell" in 1982 at the camp season's end, to express the sense of loss he felt after the departure of the musical community. The melody's sweet, haunting sadness proved to be a perfect match for Ken Burns's 1990 PBS series "The Civil War", which introduced it to millions of viewers. In this guitar arrangement, the bass line enters as an ascending response to the melody, which is then harmonized in sixths and thirds the second time through. The arrangement is a good study in position shifting up and down the fingerboard, and provides a great showcase for dynamic and tonal nuance in the phrasing of the melody. It is an excellent concert selection and will be a popular addition to the repertoire of any fingerstyle player, on either steel- or nylon-string guitar. Intermediate. 4 pp.

JUST US: 14 COMPLETE NOTATION & TAB TRANSCRIPTIONS by Buster B. Jones, produced by Thomas Redmond Photo
Although Buster's scorching fingerpicking is most impressive at first glance, a closer look at "Just Us" reveals that he is equally adept at what many musicians consider a more difficult task: playing fewer notes... ones that mean more, and say more with less. "Just Us" is an album consisting largely of originals. Along the way we are treated to a barn-storming version of "Alabama Jubilee" (it must be tunes like this that caused Chet Atkins to say of Jones "He plays like he's double-parked"), "Collage-a-Reed" and "Clawin'" (each inspired by mentor Jerry Reed), while "Let the Sun Shine In" sounds like an instant fingerpicking classic that you could swear you have heard before, but haven't. Including detailed notation on 15 of Buster's songs from "Just Us," this book/CD lesson will challenge even the best players. Note/tab.
