Scope: This
book/CD set presents Clarence's early but fully
realized acoustic guitar style, as demonstrated in
the recordings he made at home in 1962. These
songs were included in the "33 Acoustic
Guitar Instrumentals" CD. The book
focuses on the core elements of his early
style. Our intent is to provide an entry point
for intermediate players to understand and begin to
play in this style, and to impart the flavor of
Clarence's early musical environment.
