You’re getting complete arrangements that sound incredible and are tabbed out note-for-note… Not to mention Lily’s masterful instruction that not only explain the ideas behind the arrangements, but also how you can apply them in your own music and create your own masterpieces.
(You also get the sheet music for all the pieces).
Even better: the tabs are also provided in both PDF and Powertab format.
With Powertab, you can watch the notes go by on your computer, and each one is highlighted as its playing. If you’ve never experienced this before, it’s incredible. No more trying to “figure out” the rhythm of the tabs. You see it, you hear it, and you learn it — FAST.
I can’t stress enough how many hours this is going to save you when you learn these pieces.
The DVD features Lily’s soulful interpretation of Koyunbaba, Op. 15 with her mini-cadenza in the final movement, the seldom-heard Turkish folk tune, Kara Toprak Black Earth, her arrangements of the well-known Five Popular Persian Ballads, Gozaar, music by the Iranian composer Reza Vali, based on the traditional Persian scale system of Nava using micro-tones, and three selections from Castelnuovo-Tedesco’s virtuosic masterpieces 24 Caprichos de Goya, Op. 195. Lily shows Goya’s etchings and gives commentaries on the relationship between the artistic works and the musical pieces. Lily talks about her life and her musical journey. Viewers can see Lily’s photo album from childhood to the present. This DVD is a rare addition to any musical collection, beneficial to students, professionals and the general public.
“a remarkable performance by a player whose technical assuredness, judiciously shrewd musicality and charismatic personality makes this disc an absolute must for all guitarists to have in their collection.”
