Capo Inventions: Solo Guitar Music for the 3-String Partial Capo

Note-for-note, exact transcriptions of 14 of Harvey Reid’s landmark partial capo compositions & arrangements. Varying difficulty, from easy to hard, in TAB and standard notation, with numerous explanations, fingerings, tips and special instructions. This book focuses only on music Reid has played with the most widely-used partial capo, the 3-string “Esus” capo, that clamps 3 inner strings. These pieces have all appeared on his recordings; all but one are played in standard tuning, and all but one are arranged for fingerstyle guitar. The partial capo opens up an exciting new dimension of the guitar, allowing sounds, fingerings and voicings that are not available any other way. Harvey Reid was the first guitarist to write and record music using one, and has been exploring its use since 1976. Capo Inventions is his second book of partial capo arrangements, that appeared 23 years after his original 1983 book Sleight of Hand.
