132 total pages
After twenty years, the transcribed holes left in the Music•Words•Pictures songbook are finally filled! Al Di Meola: Classics is loaded with music and commentary about the amazing, electric, and virtuosic music Al Di Meola created on his first five solo recordings (1976-1983). This book completes most all of the 'missing' solos, interludes and riffs from the M•W•P collection and gives complete scores of pieces not contained within that text. Also included is a 7 page Styles and Techniques analysis of Di Meola's playing during those early years, short commentary about each of the selections and a complete full score transcription to Kiss My Axe from 1991. Spiral bound so it lays FLAT on a music stand or table - no more breaking the spine to read the music!
