The Best Of Greek Bouzouki is the first series of its kind to learn the Greek bouzouki. With easy to read lead sheets, bouzouki tablature, a CD (for study and performance), using traditional techniques and authentic inflections, learning to play the bouzouki has never been easier. From novice to expert, The Best Of Greek Bouzouki is certain to be embraced by all wishing to develop their repertoire and playing skills.
This brand new book by John Demas represents a major improvement over most bouzouki tuition books, in two ways. Firstly, it has tablature as well as musical notation. Tablature is one of the things people constantly ask for on forums, and now here is some at last. After all, it's hard enough learning to play bouzouki without having to learn musical notation as well. Secondly, this book includes a CD with John Demas playing all the tunes in the book. Even better, the CD also has recordings of the accompaniments with the bouzouki left off, so that you can play along with them. The book has a fretmap, chord diagrams, Greek dance rhythms, lyrics of the songs, and then nine song tunes in very clear musical notation, with the tablature added.
Bonus Information:
Greek dance rhythms - Ornamentation found in traditional Greek folk music - Lyrics to the songs - Information on the region, history, tempo, meter and dance steps of each dance
