Guitar Airs & Ballads - Nine Concert Solos for Plectrum Guitar

by William Bay

Here are nine solos for plectrum guitar written with the tradition of the Celtic ballad and Scottish Aire. Many of these solos call for a 7-string guitar but can certainly be played on a 6 string. Alternate notes are shown for the low 7-string pedal tones in the tablature. The solos give the guitarist an opportunity to play concert settings with a maximum of expression.

This book is a sequel to the solo collection entitled Guitar Meditations. Both solo collections address the need for serious compositions for the plectrum guitarist wanting to play in concert or recital. The music in each collection draws from a wide variety of influences and utilizes many contemporary harmonic concepts. We hope you enjoy performing and listening to these solos. Includes access to online audio for all solos.
