Martin Carthy - British Fingerstyle
Guitar - DVD
Martin Carthy has forged his own
personal and unusual approach to fingerstyle guitar. He has developed his own tunings and
right hand techniques to enable him to play British traditional folk music. This body of music is rooted in
a vocal tradition of hundreds of years as well as a strong dance culture. It is not bound by any time or bar
structure. The guitarist must find ways to explore, accent and embellish these melodies. Martin has successfully
done this with the CGCDGA tuning. He plays with a heavy percussive attack reminiscent of a country bluesman
and the gritty rhythm of a diatonic accordion player. He has a unique sense of phrasing and a strong
emotional and atmospheric feel for his music. In this video lesson, Martin explains in detail his playing
techniques and style for seven of his most popular arrangements. Titles include: "Old Tom of Oxford, The
Heroes of St. Valery, The Siege Of Delhi, La Cardeuse, McVeagh, The Harry Lime Theme, Seven Yellow
Gypsies".
