"New Directions in Open G Tuning" Book
New Directions in Open G Tuning by El McMeen and Sandy Shalk is complete!
I’m pleased to announce that we have completed our book of solo guitar arrangements in Open G (DGDGBD). The book includes tablature, notation, and Tabledit files. Tabledit is a versatile musical notation program for guitarists. The read-only version is free! With the program, you’ll be able to open the files included in our downloadable links and play along. We are excited about this book because our goal was to cover some territory not typically associated with Open G tuning—what slack key guitarists call Taro Patch tuning. We included some ragtime, Celtic, O’Carolan, hymns, fiddle tunes, blues, early jazz, etc.—the kit and caboodle! It comes with sound clips in the form of TEF files that can be read with the free version of Tabledit. To receive the downloadable link for New Directions in Open G Tuning, please paypal $40 to Sandy Shalk at sandy_shalk AT yahoo DOT com. The table of contents is attached. El

Why did you omit Hawaiian slack key music?

No disrespect to taro patch at all intended. We were focusing on new directions in the tuning, as opposed to the slack key and country blues genres with which the tuning has been associated for decades, and longer.
