From Spain to Latin America The successful author Hans Joachim Teschner now presents an accompanying volume with typical songs from Spain and Latin America (including Brazil and Argentina) for two guitars for the well-known guitar school ‘Fridolin’. Both the 1st part, arranged as a melody, and the accompanying 2nd guitar part are very easily arranged. As the 1st part can also be taken over by a melody instrument, there are many possibilities for playing together. Content: - Tres hojitas (Asturien) - Ay, linda amiga! (Kastilien) - Al lado de mi cabana (Leon) - Viva lo blanco! - El noy de la mare (Katalogien) - El Vito (Andalusien) - Viva Espana Y Sevilla!

Vive l'amour. Songs from France and Canada In France, the theme of love naturally occupies a special place, but there are also sailor and soldier songs, ballads, romances and cheerful children's songs that Fridolin and Katrin get to know on their journey. Even without knowing the lyrics, they give an impression of the diversity and richness of French song. The melodies are all in the first guitar part. They can also be played comfortably with other instruments, e.g. alto recorder (transverse flute) or violin.

Scandinavia - A journey through the Nordic countries This time, Fridolin and Katrin travel through Norway with its fjords and skerries, roam through the forests of Sweden, discover the vast lake landscapes of Finland, marvel at the fantastic play of colours of the Northern Lights and indulge themselves in comparatively small Denmark. The often rugged landscapes of Scandinavia, nature and the sea leave indelible impressions. We encounter graceful folk songs, heartfelt melodies, but also lively dances full of joie de vivre. The melodies are all in the first guitar part. They can also be played comfortably with other instruments, e.g. alto recorder (flute) or violin.

Fridolin sings and plays: With sometimes cheeky, sometimes contemplative songs, he makes his vocal chords and the six strings of his guitar vibrate. Anyone who joins him will find additional playing material for all levels of beginners' lessons, from the first stroke of empty strings to reaching two-part playing. Intended primarily for younger players, the pieces are suitable for consolidating the respective learning levels.

Mit seinen 13 Gitarrentrios kommt Alois Bröder dem kindlichen Spieltrieb entgegen. Gitarristisch äußerst einfach gehalten, sollen sie die Kinder anregen, mit ihrem "Spiel" ihre Gitarre besser kennen zu lernen und auf Reaktionen der Mitspieler zu reagieren. Dabei werden z. B. nicht nur differenzierte Lautstärken erforscht, sondern auch einige neue Spieltechniken und die Stimme einbezogen. Inhalt: - Verwandlung / Verdunkelung - Eco - Eco strano - SpiegeleipS - Gleichzeitig - Ungleichzeitig - Frage - Antworten - Spannung - Entspannung - E - A - Positiv - Negativ - Start - Stop - Aktion - Reaktion 1 - Aktion - Reaktion 2 - Melodik - Takt(ik) - Steigen - Fallen

Aus den bekannten Divertimenti für drei Bassetthörner hat Hans Joachim Teschner fünf Sätze zusammengestellt, die den spieltechnischen und klanglichen Möglichkeiten der Gitarre entgegen kommen. Aufgrund der veränderten Klangfarben entfalten die Stücke einen ganz neuen Reiz und bieten Gitarristen eine der wenigen Möglichkeiten, etwas von Mozart zu spielen.

Founding a guitar club, making music together, perhaps even playing with friends or at music school: it all sounds exciting and promises great fun. ‘Fridolin's Guitar Club’ is aimed primarily at guitarists who want to start playing in a group as early as possible. All three guitar parts are in the first position, are set in one part and are rhythmically uncomplicated; for users of the ‘Fridolin’ guitar school, the extended instrumentation should not present any major hurdles as they are already familiar with playing two different parts together. However, users of other guitar schools will also find a wide range of playing material in this edition. The following review appeared in the magazine Akustik Gitarre (issue 5/06): ‘The 32 small and easy trios in the first position are the sixth playbook for the Fridolin guitar school for children and young people. The colourful mixture from gospel to tango to susato tempts you to play. Some hidden parallels could have been avoided, but the editor succeeds in creating a witty milestone of light literature with his own composition The Dripping Tap.’ Content: - Fröhlich segeln wir dahin - Skip to My Lou - Atte katte nuwa - Unser Katz hat Katzerl g'habt - Grün, grün, grün - She'll be Coming 'Round the Mountain - Donde vas, buen caballero? - Bubble Gum Stomp - Donnerblitz und Flügelschlag - Weiche Pfoten schleichen nachts - Polly Wolly Doodle - Rocking Guitar - Country Waltz - Der Winter ist vergangen - Es klapperten die Klapperschlangen - What if a Day - Abendlied - Allemande - Por la noche - Fit For Fun - Little Brown Jug - Bed on the Floor - Malaguenita - Vive l'amour - Die Wolken ziehn herbei - Der alte Schaukelstuhl - Andante cantabile - The Gospel Train - Die Flaschenpost - Der tropfende Wasserhahn - Villanelle - Bagatelle

The second volume of Fridolin's Guitar Club again provides a wealth of pieces for guitar trio. In contrast to the first volume, slightly higher guitar skills are required, such as those taught in the guitar school ‘Der Große Fidolin’. Styles range from the Renaissance to Romanticism, from folk songs and blues to jazz and Latin style. Content: - Bingo - Lieber Bruder, tanz mit mir - Can the Circle Be Unbroken - Bunt sind schon die Wälder - Anglica - Der Dreher - Shady Grove - La digue digue don - Ecossaise - Skateboard-Meeting - Ostertalsmarsch - Prélude Nr. 7 (Chopin) - Going Down the Road Feeling Bad - Menuett - Allemande - Malbrough - Präludium (Tarrega) - Bahama Beach Dance - Schattenspiele - Ay, linda amiga! - Allegretto (Carulli) - A Happy Journey - Mowing the Barley - Winnsboro Cotton Mill Blues - Unterwegs im Elfenland - Al paño fino - Relaxin' - Bossamba Nova

Burkhard Blady hat 12 lateinamerikanische Tänze und Lieder jeweils für zwei Instrumente und für Gitarre solo komponiert. Der für die Solofassung geforderte Wechsel von Zupf- und Schlagtechnik ist in der zweistimmigen Version auf verschiedene Stimmen verteilt und kann daher zunächst getrennt geübt werden. Die melodische 1. Stimme ist auch für Melodieinstrumente geeignet. Der Spieler der 2. Stimme kann zwischen einer notierten Zupfbegleitung und einer extra ausgearbeiteten Begleitung für Schlaggitarre wählen. Inhalt: - Fiesta - Recuerdo - Vals - Bossa Nova - Tango - Guajiras - Canción Andina - Samba - Rumba - Calypso - Chôro - Bailando el Tango

The second volume of ‘Fridolin goes Pop’ begins with two easy traditional pieces with a ragtime blues feel. In all the following titles, the guitaristic demands are significantly higher. In addition to many changes of position, barré fingerings are required, as well as upstrokes and downstrokes, polyphonic playing and elaborate chord breakdowns. The rhythms common in pop music also require a confident handling of syncopation and off-beats. However, this should not cause any difficulties for experienced guitarists, especially as the recordings of the well-made pieces on the CD invite you to listen to them ‘just for fun’ and thus encourage you to play along and repeat them. Content: - Bed on the Floor - Going Down the Road Feeling Bad - Miss Molly's Ragtime Cake - If She Is Going Away - Picking Peter & paul - The Greyhound Passage - Turtle Turn - The Thumb Generator - Time-Driver - No Sixes, No Sevens - Latin Grooves, Vorstudien zu Latino Beachbirds - Latino Beachbirds
