Michael Hedges; Transcribed by Santi Cañás
This edition includes the following works by Michael Hedges:
- Layover
- The magic farmer
- The rootwitch
- Baal t´shuvah
Today, fingerstyle guitar is a consolidated genre worldwide thanks to artists like Andy McKee or John Gomm, who have become well-known for their technique through the internet, although any of them will cite Hedges as their main source of inspiration, despite not being that renowned
This selection is born out of the good relationship between Dos Acordes and Santi Cañás, transcriber of these works, with the aim of exemplifying different guitar playing and compositional techniques, although some are left out, such as the use of the plectrum. Let’s hope these absences will soon allow him to start transcribing another group of pieces in which all techniques will be included!
