Guitar Atlas: Africa

Guitar Styles From Around the Globe
20450

African guitar is a big subject, as big as the continent itself. Africa is 54 countries and
many hundreds of distinct ethnic groups, and while most people think of African music
as principally drumming and singing, there is an astounding number of guitar styles
unique to particular African settings. Paul Simon's breakthrough 1986 album
"Graceland" focused international attention on South African pop music and initiated
a process of discovery for cutious music fans around the world. What they found was
the dazzling array of music styles we now call Afropop. From the tangled guitar boogie
of the Congo-soukous music-to the serene percussive weave ofNigerianjuju music,
to the flashy fingerpickers of Mali and Madagascar, Africa's treasure chest of beautiful
and originaI contemporary guitar idioms seems inexhaustible.
Many of these idioms deserve a book of their own. Some are extensions of ancient
musical traditions that used indigenous instruments for centuries before the first
guitars carne to Africa with Portuguese sailors in the 16th century. These "roots"
genres sometimes have rich, widely inrerpreted repertoires and diverse, demanding
techniques specifically developed to render the sounds of African instruments on
guitar. Even brazenly modern guitar styles, like those in the Congo, have achieved
a remarkable level of depth and rigor within a few short decades of developmenr.
For all the travel and study l've put in, l've only scratched the surface of Africa's
guitar wealth. But l've learned enough to convey a number of important principI es
of some key African guitar styles.
That is the limited objective of Guitar Atlas: Africa. The African guitar styles introduced
here are by no means the only ones worthy of study. They are simply the ones I have been
fortunate enough to discover, and the ones l've become intrigued enough to tackle as a
player. This book would not have been possible without the openness and generosity of
the many guitarists who have shared their wisdom with me. Using the principles and
fundamentals in this book as a starting point, players will be able to approach recordings
of African music with greater appreciation and understanding. Still, mere is no substitute
for sitting down with those who grew up playing these styles, especially ifyou can do so in
Africa. My fondest hope for this book is that it will inspire other players to dig dee per into
this underexamined world of guitar music. I hope others will make their own journeys,
write their own books and articles, and bring as yet undiscovered African guitar geniuses
to international attention.
Guitar Atlas: Africa assumes that you have some experience playing and reading standard
music notation and/or TAB, and that you have some experience with both
fingerstyle and flatpick playing. It also assumes that you have some understanding of
basic music theory-time signatures, rhythms and note values (ranging from whole
notes to sixteenth notes), intervals, harmony (chords and chord symbols), and so on.

 

Banning Eyre has played guitar professionally since me mid1970s,
working in genres as diverse as jazz, flamenco, dancerock,
and reggae. Since 1990, he has specialized in guitar
styles from Mrica, making six trips to the continent to research
guitar music. Over the years, Banning has played in a
series of Congolese soukous bands in Boston, in the West Mrican
folk ensemble Cora Connection, and with a variety of
musicians performing Zimbabwean mbira music. He teaches
Mrican guitar styles, both privately and in workshops at Tribal
Soundz in New York City.
During travels in Mrica, Banning has performed with the Super Rail Band of Bamako
and Sali Sidibe in Mali, and with Thomas Mapfumo and the Blacks Unlimited in
Zimbabwe. He plays on two Thomas Mapfumo albums, "Chimurenga '98" and
"Chimurenga Explosion," and on a track from Taj Mahal and Toumani Diabate's
"Kulanjan" (Hannibal, 1999), voted the Folk Roots Album of the Year in the UK.
Banning has written about international music, especially Mrican guitar styles, since
1988. He comments and reporrs on music for National Public Radio's All Things
Considered and contributes regularly to the Boston Phoenix, Guitar Player, Rhythm,
Folk Roots, The Beat, CM] New Musie Monthly, and the Musie Hound and All Musie
Guide series of books. He has traveled extensively in Mrica and produces regular
programs for the public radio series Afropop Worldwide.
In 1995, Banning co authored AFROPOPf.- An Illustrated Guide to Contemporary Afriean
Musie with Sean Barlow. His critically acclaimed book In Griot Time: An Ameriean
Guitarist in Mali (Tempie University Press, 2000) recounts his seven-month apprenticeship
with DjelimadyTounkara of the Super Rail Band of Bamako, Mali. He compiled a
companion CD, In Griot Time: String Musie from Mali (Stern's Mrica, 2000), including a
number of his own recordings of musicians in Mali. Banning is currently at work on a
book abour Thomas Mapfumo and the contemporary history of Zimbabwe.

IRISH GUITAR Celtic Guitar Solos, Pat Kirtley. CD TABLATURE

LIBRO PER CHITARRA CON TABLATURE E CD

transcribed by John Roberts & Mark Pritcher

Product Description:
World traveling fingerstyle guitarist Pat Kirtley presents 17 solo guitar arrangements of traditional Irish tunes including a few original compositions in the same vein by himself, Pierre Bensusan, and Duck Baker. As all of the tunes in this 1997 recording were arranged in altered tunings (DADGAD, EADEAE or DADEAD), each appears in both standard notation and tablature with insightful performance notes. In general, these transcriptions from Pat Kirtley’s 1997 album of the same title are extremely accurate; The Red-Haired Boy, however, played as a duet with Steve Rector on the album - appears as a solo arrangement in this book. Recommended for the intermediate to advanced player, the author provides insightful performance notes for each tune.

REVIEWS OF PAT KIRTLEY'S IRISH GUITAR
(from the Boston Irish Reporter / January 1998)
Irish Guitar Pat Kirtley / Mainstring Music
That O'Carolan's music continues to remain part of the tradition is evident in the fact that every Irish guitarist's repertoire includes O'Carolan pieces. Pat Kirtley's latest recording is a testament to that as it contains five of the itinerant harper's compositions. Kirtley, the 1995 National Fingerstyle Guitar Champion, has his roots in the music of his native Kentucky and his two previous CD's
highlighted the traditional American musical styles he grew up with.
This wonderful recording, his first foray into Irish music, is all solo acoustic guitar except when joined by Mark Cannon's flute on O'Carolan's Blind Mary and Steve Rector's guitar on the 'Kentuck-ification' of the well known Red-Haired Boy. New compositions like Kirtley's own Finn MacCool's Reel as well as two pieces by French guitarist Pierre Bensusan help to lend balance to the recording which relies heavily on the tried and true Irish guitar repertoire like Si Beag Si Mhor, The South Wind and Fannie Power. It is Kirtley's masterful playing though, which stands out and begs to be listened to. On his lovely first foray into the world of Irish music, Kirtley has produced a winner and a must-have for any fan of Celtic guitar.

(from Dirty Linen Magazine Nov '97 issue)
Pat Kirtley / Irish Guitar
Irish Guitar features 17 instrumentals, mostly traditional, by fingerstyle guitarist Pat Kirtley. Kirtley is firmly rooted in the Pierre Bensusan, John Renbourn, Duck Baker school of playing. The tunes are given an honest airing, never hurried, letting the melody lines develop fully. Even though most of the tunes have been done dozen's of times elsewhere, Kirtley's interpretations shine a fresh light
on them. A joy to listen to and one of the best albums of traditional guitar I've heard.

(from Acoustic Guitar Magazine April '98 issue)
Pat Kirtley / Irish Guitar
Kirtley's nimble and heartfelt renderings of 17 traditional and Irish and Irish-influenced tunes are a delight. The sway of John Renbourn, Duck Baker, and Pierre Bensusan is obvious, yet Kirtley articulates the emotional quality of each piece (the deep melancholy of "The Pretty Milkmaid", the agile gaiety of "Rodney's Glory") according to his own vision and sensitivity. The solo guitar format is nicely augmented on "Blind Mary" by by Mark Cannon on Irish wooden flute, and by guitarist Steve Rector on a spirited "Red Haired Boy". A generous portion of Turlough O'Carolan makes this a potent listening experience.
-Jim Ohlschmidt


(from Fingerstyle Guitar Magazine July/August '97 issue)
Irish Guitar
It's been a couple of years since Pat Kirtley's last CD. His current offering, Irish Guitar, is well worth the wait. This hefty collection of 17 tracks of mostly traditional tunes is ingeniously arranged and brilliantly played by one of the emerging stars of the fingerstyle world. -James Jensen


(from Guitar Magazine December '97 issue) "-Best of 1997-"
PAT KIRTLEY Irish Guitar (Mainstring Music)
Despite having won the National Fingerpicking Championship with his rip-snorting version of "Ghost Riders In The Sky:' Pat Kirtley's fingerpicking forte remains his delicate touch combined with subtle and craft-laden melodic invention. This is exhibited in abundance on his new recording, Irish Guitar, a collection of 17 drop-dead gorgeous arrangements of mostly solo, well-known airs.
dances, and songs from the Celtic side of acoustic guitar repertoire. Each piece is artfully rendered and beautifully recorded, and
Kirtley's arrangements are nonpareil. Witness his version of the chestnut "The Pretty Milkmaid," which, in Kirtley's hands, is transcendent.
-Jon Chappell. Guitar Magazine

 

PAT KIRTLEY AND IRISH GUITAR
Pat is a gifted performer who blends a rich Southern musical heritage with modern imagination and masterful contemporary technique. As a creator of new acoustic music, Pat has penned a virtual library of fresh, lyrical compositions for guitar. His talents won him the title of US National Fingerstyle Champion in 1995, and his playing has since garnered international praise. His CD Kentucky Guitar was named one of the "Top 59 Acoustic Albums of the Year" by Japan's Player Magazine, and he's been hailed as one of "The Next Generation: Hot New Acoustic Acts for the Millenium" by Acoustic Guitar Magazine. In 1999 Pat was selected as the cover feature of the German Akustik Gitarre magazine, Europe's largest acoustic guitar publication. A recent tour of Japan and China included an appearance as headliner of the Japan National Fingerpicking Day festival in Tokyo. Pat is also known and respected as a guitar educator, traveling thousands of miles each year in the USA and presenting musician workshops internationally for Taylor Guitars, conducting master classes, and producing acclaimed instructional videos.

The 1997 CD Irish Guitar represents Pat's favorite pieces from the world of Irish jigs, reels, airs, and dances. "I've collected these tunes in my head and on guitar for years." says Kirtley. "Traditional Irish music is important, and I wanted to create new arrangements that do justice to these beautiful melodies and rhythms."
Tunes in the collection include a lively, up-tempo Morgan Magan, one of four pieces here by 17th century composer O'Carolan, and a Kirtley composition, Finn MacCool's ReeL,which also appears on a Narada Recordscollection entitled "Dance of the Celts". Earle Hitchner, well-known Celtic music journalist, writing about Finn MacCool's ReeLfor Narada, said "Pat creates a remarkable effect through the largerthan- usual intervals he's written into the melody. These spacious, skillfully etched tones evoke the image of Finn MacCool, an Irish mythological giant whose American counterpart would be Paul Bunyan, stepping across Ireland. It's a quietly impassioned tour de force..." Also in the collection are evocative slow melodies, like Moran'5 Return, Blind Mary, and The Pretty Milkmaid. Kirtley: "These are unforgettable melodies with an indefinable aura of sadness. Much of the traditional Irish music, especially the dance music, has an exuberant, happy energy, but the slow airs move right to the heart with a strength that cannot be expressed in words. It's powerful music."
Irish Guitar is a solo guitar project, without overdubs, with the exception of two duos. Celtic multiinstrumentalist Mark Cannon and award-winning guitarist Steve Rector,join Kirtley for duets on Blind Mar, and a rousing bluegrass-crossover version of The Red-Haired Boy.

 

PERFORMANCE NOTES FOR IRISH GUITAR
I spent more than five years gathering, learning and arranging these tunes. During that time I listened
to groups like the Bothy Band, the Chieftains, DeDanaan, the Tannahill Weavers, and to individual
musicians like Alisdair Fraser, Tim Britton, Tommy Peoples, Sharon Shannon-fiddlers, pipers, whistle
players, and button accordianists. I paid attention to the elemental guitarists of the genre; Dave Evans,
Davey Graham, Duck Baker, John Renbourn, Pierre Bensusan, and Pat Kilbride. I began attending Irish
sessions" whenever possible, and learned how to join in with the guitar and become part of the sound. I
played gigs with pipers and fiddlers. These experiences became part of the preparation for recording Irish
Guitar.
Some of the arrangements are challenging, and some are relatively easy. They all demand attention to
detail, and a sense of the basic elements of Irish traditional music-melody, ornamentation, and rhythmic
'groove'.
Note: Many of the tunes featured here appear on the videos "Ramble to Cashel" and "The Blarney
Pilgrim" on DVD and VHS from Vestapol Videos (available through Mel Bay). The videos were filmed "for
guitarists" with good shots of the fretboard and hands, and watching them will help in learning these tunes
(as well as show you some other great players in action).

THE TUNES:
Morgan Magan
This is a challenging piece to learn. It should be played at a brisk tempo, which can only be built up
over time, so don't be impatient. The technique includes a few finger stretches (as in measure 4) and a
couple of potentially awkward passages in terms of left hand fingering (for instance, measures 25-27).


The Last Pint
This is a reel by Pierre Bensusan. When I first heard it played on his 1987 album "Spices", I wondered
how anyone could playa tune like that. At first hearing it seemed like a barrage of notes, but I liked it. I
didn't try to play it at first. When I heard Pierre do it in a concert later, he took off way too fast and did a
hyper-speed version of it. Afterward I thought, if he can do it 3x as fast as he originally recorded it, I should
be able to do it 1x as fast! This tune imitates the style of bagpipes, with large melodic leaps and
characteristic ornamentation. The ending run (measure 75) is a "cascading arpeggio" which is played with
the right hand pattern i-p-m (index-thumb-middle) in a repeating pattern.


Blind Mary
A slow, stately melody where every note counts!
Moran's Return
I recorded this tune at capo 3 so it would be in the key of F like the fiddle version I learned it from. It
works fine with no capo (key of D) too.
Finn MacCooI's Reel
The C part (beginning measure 24) was the most difficult for me to learn well, I think mostly because
I was impatient with it. Working on this tune slowly will prove worthwhile.


Lord Mayo
Beautifully arranged in EADEAE by Davey Graham, this is one of the first Irish tunes I ever learned. It
is easy to play, but demands attention to make it flow and to play it expressively.


Rodney's Glory
This one is a real challenge. I use my left hand thumb to fret many of the notes on the 6 th
string. At the beginning of the B part (measure 11), keep a barre across 3 strings at fret 7 with your index finger. Then in the middle of the next measure, you slide the barre down to the 5 th
fret. The rest of the B part is playable but tricky because the melody jumps all over the place and doesn't stick to a standard scale. Just work through it very slowly and don't give up!


Voyage for Ireland
Originally titled in French "Voyage pour L'lrlande", this a beautiful, atmospheric piece written by Pierre Bensusan. It's a good example of how the D minor tonality works in DADGAD. I always hold the F bass note (6 th string 3 rd fret) with my left hand thumb when the melody is on the top string.


The Blarney Pilgrim
The difficulty in playing this arrangement is in the right hand. It is necessary to use the thumb and all three fingers (i-m-a), and there's no repeating right hand pattern to simplify things. Try to work out the fingering so as to avoid getting your fingers in a knot. To memorize this piece and play it fluidly, you'll have to memorize the right hand fingering as well as the left, and work on keeping your thumb thumping away on a muted low D for rhythm.


Shi Beg Shi Mhor
I arranged this piece with the capo on the 4 th fret purely for the harplike tone it affords. The resulting key of F# isn't conducive to ensemble playing of the tune! If you play with others, the natural key is D (no capo).


The Red-Haired Boy
There must be an easier way to play this tune than the leaps and jumps required by the EADEAE
tuning, but it sounded so good that I decided to keep it there. It does offer a distinctive sound, and the melody is clear. I always hold the 6 th string G note (3 rd fret) with my left hand thumb. On the album, I am joined by Steve Rector in a duet, but the arrangement here works fine as a standalone fingerstyle piece.


Fannie Power
The arrangement of this O'Carolan tune is straightforward and uses the technique of playing alternate notes on fretted and open strings for maximum sustain, to get a harplike quality.


Planxty Irwin
This is one of O'Caroian's most beautiful melodies, arranged in the tuning DADEAD. Pay attention to the bass progression in measures 46-49.


The Rakes of Waterloo
Duck Baker originally composed this tune in Drop D tuning, but it also works in DADGAD. The intro is played freely and slowly, and then the tune itself is a jig with a strong rhythmic pulse. Much of the melody is played on the lower strings, and you have to be careful to make the melody come out clearly while thumping away on the bass string. I recorded this tune as a set with Chase the Weasel, and the interlude at the end (measure 42) is the segue between the two. You can also play either one as a standalone.


Chase The Weasel
There is a technique in this tune that is not obvious from the written score. It is a percussive right hand "smack" of the strings where you brush the string or strings with the top side of the fingernail in a downward motion. The first place it appears is halfway through measure 5, the 2 nd
"7" on the top string. If you listen to the recording, you will notice several places where this technique is used instead of the normal upward stroke of the right hand fingers.

ABOUT THIS BOOK
Before we begin there are a few things that should be explained.

Tuning
Some traditional guitarists prefer to use standard tuning;
others favour the tuning DADGAD. The Irish DADGAD Guitar Book, by Sarah McQuaid, is an excellent source of information on that tuning.

This book, however, features drop D Tuning. This means that in order to play any of
the tunes it will be necessary to retune your guitar as follows: First, tune your guitar
to the standard tuning E A D G B E, then lower the E or 6th string down to D. To check
that you have done this correctly, pluck the 6th string and the 4th string together
- they should be an octave apart. DADGBE

The Guitar Chords
Sometimes you will see fret numbers marked on the left side of the chord box.
This indicates that the chord shape begins on the fret indicated. You may
also notice a small x or0situated at the top of the fret box. An x symbol placed
over a string means that it is not played. An0 placed over a
string means that the open string is struck.

Here is an example:
This indicates that the first finger holds down the E, B, G, and D strings on the fifth fret and that the open A string
is also played. The low D string is not played.

Bass Runs and Chords
Sometimes in the course of a tune you will see ringed notes in a chord box.
This indicates that these notes are to be emphasised. This is one of the ways
that a bass run or solo may be notated. The other utilises tablature notation.

Emphasise the G note 6th 5th fret
Emphasise the F# note 6th string string 4th fret
Emphasise the E note 6th string 2nd fret 3
Emphasise A note 2nd string open

Foreword

For years guitarists have waited for someone to teach them the intricacies of fingerstyle guitar virtuoso Leo's music. Finally someone has taken the time to do just that.

With the publication of The Music Of Leo Kottke, and the subsequent Leo Kottke Transcribed, Mark Hanson has made the complexities of Kottke's seminal guitar playing accessible to not only the advanced player, but to the interme fingerpicker as well. And Mark explains the music and techniques in a manner that makes it easy to learn.

The printed music and tablature are clear and concise, and the instructional CD cuts right to the essence of the music. Leo's techniques and music structures are thoughtfully explained. Mark goes out of his way to assist the intermediate player with an occasional suggestion of an alternate approach that might better suit a player at that level. Yet there is no extraneous information here to clutter the process of you learning these tunes.

For anyone who is interested in playing Leo Kottke's music, I would highly recommend Mark's book-and-CD, The Music Of Leo Kottke and Leo Kottke Transcribed. Combined with some effort on your part, these packages put you well on the way to playing many of Leo's greatest instrumentals. Have fun with this material. I did.

Introduction

Welcome to The Music Of Leo Kottke, featuring transcriptions of some of the greatest guitar solos from fingerstyle virtuoso Kottke. These transcriptions have been notated from Kottke's commercially available recordings. We have chosen these versions rather than private recordings for the simple reason that those are the ones that most of you know and can readily hear.

 

Book and Recording

Both the standard notation and tablature are provided for most of the tunes in this book. We are justifiably proud of our innovative tablature. Not only does it notate the left-hand finger positions in detail, it clearly denotes the rhythm as well.

Another advantage of our tablature is the right-hand information provided by the use of different type styles on the staff.

notes picked by the thumb are notated in bold type. All notes picked by the fingers or slurred (hammer-ons, pull-offs and slides) are notated in regular type. For a full explanation of our tablature, please see the Tablature Guide in the back of the book.

 

A vital part of this package is the teaching recording, designed to make the absorption of the written music as easy as possible. The recording for this book features each tune played at slow speed for ease in learning. For those unlucky students ho have not yet heard Kottke's recordings of these tunes, a performance-speed excerpt is induded to ensure proper tempo.

Measure-by-measure instruction follows the slow and performance-speed performances on the recording. In this section you receive valuable insights into Kottke's technique and thinking processes. This information was culled from extensive in-person interviews with Kottke for Guitar Player and Frets magazines, as well as from countless hours spent listening to and transcribing his music. For each composition, the guitar is tuned to match Kottke's actual recording, allowing the student to move directly from the instructional recording to Kottke's actual recording without retuning the guitar. We hope you enjoy adding these pieces to your repertoire!

Acknowledgements

My biggest thank you goes to Leo Kottke and Bug Music. Without their kind cooperation, fingerstyle guitarists everywhere would still be struggling to learn these tunes from Leo's recordings. Nearly as large a thank you goes to my wife Greta, our daughters, and my parents for their substantial assistance in this project.

Others whose help and support was invaluable include Jim Jasmin at Jasmin Consulting, DRUM! Magazine publisher Phil Hood, computer guru Patrick Mahoney at the MAC Resource Center, former Guitar Player Magazine Tom Wheeler, guitarist-teacher-author Jim Ferguson, recording magnate Charles Albert, Chris Ledgerwood for the design, Peter Fox for the cover photo, Pearwood Graphics, Dave McCumiskey of Music Sales, the crew at Gryphon Stringed Instruments in Palo Alto, and Kottke aficionado Tom Bowman.

And, as always, I must thank the innumerable guitar students I have had over the past several decades. Your assistance in teaching me to teach is greatly appreciated.

Tablature Guide

Tablature (TAB)is a music notation system designed to show guitarists at which fret to depress

a string when picking it. It has been in existence for centuries: Lutenists in the time of the European

Renaissance used a distinctive form of tablature.

Tablature has two main advantages over standard notation: 1) it clearly indicates the position

on the guitar neck of each note; and 2) it is much easier to learn to read. If you don't currently read

either standard notation or tablature, I recummend that you learn to read tablature. You'll be playing

the pieces in this book much sooner than if you take the time to learn standard notation.

Six horizontal lines represent the six strings of the guitar:

 

Notice in tablature that the bass string of the guitar is represented by the bottom line of the staff.

The treble string is the top line. This is inverted from the way the strings actually lie on the guitar. The reason for the inversion is simply to make tablature look more like standard notation: the low-pitched notes are on the bottom lines of the staff, and the high-pitched notes are on the top lines.

A number on a line indicates at which fret to depress that string as you pick it. Bold-type

numbers designate notes picked by the thumb. Lighter-type numbers are notes picked by the fingers,

or are slurred notes (hammer-ons, pull-offs or slides):

 

In Example 2 you pick the strings in this order:

1) fourth string open ("0"means an open string);

2) the third string fretted at the 7th fret;

3) the second string fretted at the 7th fret;

4) the first (treble) string fretted at the 5th fret;

5) then repeat the four notes.

The stems and beams underneath the notes denote the rhythm:
