The Essential Clarence White Bluegrass Guitar Leads by Roland White and Diane Bouska (2009) Spiral-bound;

Featuring • 14 songs and tunes with variations, in notation and tablature • Instruction with tab examples • Biography with photos 2 CDs included • Disc 1: Clarence's original recordings plus CD-ROM video of Clarence playing two tunes close-up • White Brothers slide show • Disc 2: Rhythm tracks: Play along at slow or fast tempo with Roland White on guitar and Missy Raines on bass This book/CD set presents Clarence's early but fully realized acoustic guitar style, as demonstrated in the recordings he made at home in 1962. These songs were included in the "33 Acoustic Guitar Instrumentals" CD. The book isn't a survey of his entire career but rather focuses on the core elements of his early style. Our intent is to provide an entry point for intermediate players to understand and begin to play in this style, and to impart the flavor of Clarence's early musical environment.
