Niche Repertoire with Great Production
A solid collection for solo acoustic guitarists looking to diversify their setlist with world music. While not for every gig, the Chinese melodies are beautifully arranged and the included online videos from Fernando Pérez are fantastic for getting the feel right. The tab and standard notation are clean, making it easy to learn new techniques quickly. Great for cultural events or a sophisticated background set.

Insightful Melodies for Cultural Study
While this is a solo guitar collection, the melodic content drawn from traditional Chinese music is truly compelling. As a coach, I appreciate the depth of cultural context provided, and the arrangements showcase beautiful voice-leading within the guitar's capabilities. Understanding these unique textures and techniques can inspire vocalists interested in world music, even if it's not a direct accompaniment piece.

Cool techniques and new harmonic and melodic ideas !
I even use to tuning provided for pipa music for other things. It can give a mountain dulcimer feel, and it's not a tuning I would have thought of on my on.
