Lesson 1: "Nine Pound Hammer"
This lesson deals with the topic of melodic embellishment. “Nine Pound Hammer” is used as a model through three successive variations. This lesson includes the use of repeated notes, rhythmic variety, and additional melodic tones in ornamentation of a basic melody.
Tablature, notation, and analyses is provided in the pdf files. The audio examples are midi files. When I return to North America I’ll post recordings using live instruments.

Lesson 2: "Bury Me Beneath the Willow"
Lesson 2 builds upon the concepts introduced in Lesson 1. "Bury Me Beneath the Willow" is presented as an basic melody, which is systematically ornamented and elaborated. This lesson introduces the use of tremelo picking and additional scalar tones in the ornamentation of the original melody.
