My new album titled THE BOATMAN is coming out on Thursday May 20th, 2021.

It features 12 tracks of solo acoustic fingerstyle guitar music: some arrangements of traditional Scottish and Irish folk tunes, some newer arrangements and some original pieces. It will be available to stream at all platforms inc. Spotify, Amazon Music, Apple Music etc but you can buy it from my Bandcamp page where you get an 85 page book of guitar tabs along with the downloadable audio files. Physical CD’s will be available from my website soon.

My new single Auld Lang Syne is now available on Spotify, Apple Music, iTunes, Amazon and many others. I arranged the famous tune for solo fingerstyle guitar in CGDGCD tuning. (Clicking on the cover will take you to Spotify. If you don’t have Spotify just search for Steve Gibb Auld Lang Syne in your music service of choice.)

 

Well, really it’s the whole week. Until Nov 30th you can get 50% off your entire order in my store when you enter the code 50THANKS. A good chance to add some new tabs to your collection.

So how is everyone doing during the lockdown?!!!

I am using the time to crack on with arranging and recording tracks for a new album. Turns out I have around 6 or 7 album’s with of material so it’s a tough choice figuring out what to do first!! Good problem to have I guess.

One track I am definitely including is a beautiful melody written by Roger Tallroth (from the Swedish group Väsen) called Josefins Dopvals (Josefins Waltz). I first heard this tune some years ago when my fiddle player made me learn it for a music festival we were playing at. The infectious melody stayed with me and I have arranged it for solo guitar in CGDGCD tuning. The tab is in the store and you can watch me playing it below.

I will be uploading many more fingerstyle pieces soon so stay tuned…!

 

 

So we are all self isolating and trying to deal with a new world where a virus has us all locked in our homes wondering how to deal with this nonsense and gigs and concerts are all cancelled!

It’s a difficult and challenging time but I am using it to arrange and record some new music for my album.

Here is a group of 3 Irish Jigs I recorded recently (sheet music and tab available in the store). 

Hope you enjoy and I will be back soon with more music.
