Description: Article on the use of guitar and bouzouki/cittern in Celtic music, by Cliff McGann (originally published in Celtic Heritage); includes notes on significant performers.
The role of the guitar in traditional music is an ever changing one. Within the Irish and Scottish tradition it is one of the main accompanying choices for instrumental music and is slowly being accepted as a melody instrument as well. It is my hopes with this article to give the reader some insight into the role of the guitar in Celtic music as well as to provide some background on several of the best practitioners of Celtic guitar. I will also briefly touch on the role of the Irish bouzouki, an instrument fast becoming standard in many Celtic groups.
