About the Book

James Tyler offers a practical manual to aid guitar players and lutenists in transitioning from modern stringed instruments to the baroque guitar. He begins with the physical aspects of the instrument, addressing tuning and stringing arrangements and technique before considering the fundamentals of baroque guitar tablature. In the second part of the book Tyler provides an anthology of representative works from the repertoire. Each piece is introduced with an explanation of the idiosyncrasies of the particular manuscript or source and information regarding any performance practice issues related to the piece itself—represented in both tablature and staff notation. Tyler's thorough yet practical approach facilitates access to this complex body of work.

About the Author :
James Tyler (1940-2010) was Professor Emeritus of Music History and Literature and served as Director of the Early Music Program and of the Thornton Baroque Sinfonia at the University of Southern California. He is author (with Paul Sparks) of The Guitar and Its Music and The Early Mandolin.

Review :
"Tyler's detailed explanation of stringing and tuning, playing techniques, notation, and ornamentation will make a vast repertory immediately accessible to anyone who plays the guitar and easily accessible to... musicians in general." Mark Cudek, Peabody Institute, Johns Hopkins University "The depth of detail in this volume is thorough and fascinating. Just a look at the chapter headings gives you some idea of the care taken in the researching of the very misunderstood instrument... I cannot praise this volume highly enough. If there is anything not included in here, then it probably wasn't worth mentioning anyway. It is a fitting tribute to a much missed musician and should be snapped up by anyone with the smallest of interest in this fine period in our instrument's history." - Chris Dumigan, Classical Guitar, July 2012
