Grammy Award winning guitarist and acclaimed author Mark Hanson shares his arranging strategies for fingerstyle solo guitar, with the express purpose of teaching you to arrange your own solos! He won a Grammy for his arranging and playing contributions to the Henry Mancini Pink Guitar recording.

In this outstanding tutorial, Mark arranges each of five famous tunes at varying levels of complexity, from easy to advanced. He explains how to choose a key, a tuning, a style, and how to incorporate walking basslines, tapping, meter and mode changes, modulation, cascading harmonics and much more into your arrangements.
