Western Swing Guitar

A full western swing band is quite a sight: electric guitars, a steel guitar, fiddles, piano, bass, drums, and a horn section. The repertoire includes fiddle hoedowns, big band tunes, Tin Pan Alley hits, blues, contemporary country, sentimental ballads, and boogie woogie. Mix in some polkas, Tex-Mex, Cajun, and jazz, and what a mixture you've got! Although western swing hit its peak in the 1930s, the 1990s have seen its revival. This collection of "Western Swing Guitar" documents some of the best that this style of music has to offer. It contains 25 classic songs, including the solos of the best guitarists from yesterday and today. Plus, to offer some background on this swinging style of music, the book offers a detailed history of the musicians that made it popular, performance notes on various guitar styles, and a brief history for each song. "Western Swing Guitar - Guitar (Recorded Versions For Guitar)" weighs 16.00 oz.
