Celtic Guitar
I'm really starting to get into Celtic music, especially played on guitar. I'm already working through some solo fingerstyle arrangements that I just love (although they're quite challenging).
However, I also love just plain old Celtic SONGS, as in lyrics and supporting chords. Does anyone know of any sites or books that contain great old Celtic tunes arranged in this way? Thanks, Jason

I too love playing Celtic music. It sounds great on a guitar. I am working my way through "Celtic Music for Guitar" by Allan Alexander (1997). It comes with a CD and is available from Amazon.com for about $20. It contains a bunch of Turlough Carolan tunes that were originally composed for harp. They are great tunes. There is a second volume, but I do not have it.

Try elderly.com. They have a pretty good selection of Celtic songbooks.

You should find two books on their site that might be interesting for accompaniment styles...
Accompanying Irish Music on Guitar by Frank Kilkelly and Irish Traditional Guitar Accompaniment by Gavin Ralston

I am glad to find this. They are probably way too hard for me, but I will check them out. Are any easier than others? What is the difference in Irish music and Celtic music. To me it seems like one is best enjoyed only after beer and the other in the moonlight. Thanks.
