Matt Willis is ecstatic to announce his first book\/CD Tunes, Chords & Harmony Volume ONE<\/em><\/strong>. Here is the link:\u00a0https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B015HQTMGE<\/p>\n

Tunes, Chords & Harmony Volume ONE<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0is a collection of original tunes, rearranged traditional melodies, and unique harmony parts for classic and new tunes. This book also contains a CD with all the melodies and harmonies played on the highland pipes by Matt Willis.<\/p>\n

An extra feature of this book is the inclusion of guitar chords for the tunes. There are also instructions on how to bring either a guitar into tune with a highland bagpipe or a bagpipe into tune with concert-pitched instruments, like a piano or guitar.<\/p>\n

The classical pieces “Going Home” and Pachelbel’s “Canon in D” are also included with four-part harmony.<\/p>\n

The included CD features every tune in the book and is especially useful for the tunes with harmonies. For these tracks, the melody is panned to one speaker and the harmony is panned to the other to allow you to listen to each part separately as well as together.<\/p>\n
