Hal LeonardFingerpicking Celtic Folk - 15 Songs Arr. for Solo Guitar In Standard Notation & Tab
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Fifteen Celtic folk tunes arranged for solo fingerstyle guitar, in notation and tab. For guitarists building a solo repertoire.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Fingerstyle players wanting standalone arrangements that need no accompaniment
- Guitarists who read tab and want traditional tunes already arranged
- Building a short solo set of recognizable folk melodies
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Flatpickers or strummers — these are fingerpicked arrangements
- Players wanting chords and lyrics to sing along with
- Anyone who has never played fingerstyle before
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Standard notation and tab
Tab shows exactly which string and fret, so you get the intended fingering rather than guessing a position.
Detail 03
Fingerpicking arrangements
Written for thumb-and-fingers playing. A pick will not reach the independent bass and melody lines these use.
Detail 04
15 songs
A focused collection rather than a comprehensive folk anthology. Enough for a short set once you learn most of it.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No audio, backing tracks, or video — printed arrangements only
- 02Steel-string or nylon both work, but fingernails or picks affect the tone considerably
- 03If you only read chord charts, the notation-and-tab format will take adjustment
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do I need to read music?
No. Every arrangement includes tab alongside the notation, so you can work purely from fret and string numbers if you prefer.
02Is this for acoustic or electric?
Written for acoustic solo playing, but nothing stops you from playing the arrangements on a clean electric.
03Are the tunings standard?
Check the individual arrangements. Celtic guitar material sometimes uses altered tunings, which the book will indicate per song.
04Can a beginner play these?
You need basic fingerpicking already. Solo arrangements ask you to hold melody and bass at once, which is a step past first-position chords.
