Book/3-CD set. Irish dance tunes make great flatpicking pieces. Pioneer flatpicker Thompson was fortunate to perform with master Irish musicians in the 1970's in San Francisco and Ireland, including the legendary Joe Cooley. He teaches several of his favorite jigs, reels and hornpipes, and coaches you in the triplets, grace notes, and nuances that give Irish Celtic music its lilt and feeling. Note/tab. Beginning/intermediate. 32 pp.
