Frederic teaches classical guitar arrangements of four much-beloved American folk songs: “The Water is Wide,” “Wayfaring Stranger,” “Black Is the Color of My True Love’s Hair” and “We Are Climbing Jacob’s Ladder.” He teaches full concert arrangements as well as easier alternate versions for novice players. Along the way he explains chord extensions and substitutions, harmonic voicings up and down the neck, elements of music theory, and improvisational techniques. Note: these songs are also playable on steel string guitar. Beginning/intermediate. Note/tab included as either booklet or PDF file on the disc. 75 min.
