The second volume of ‘Fridolin goes Pop’ begins with two lightly set traditional pieces with the feel of a ragtime blues. In all the following titles, the guitaristic demands are significantly higher. In addition to many changes of position, barré fingerings are required, as well as upstrokes and downstrokes, polyphonic playing and elaborate chord breakdowns. The rhythms common in pop music also require a confident handling of syncopation and off-beats. However, this should not cause any difficulties for experienced guitarists, especially as the recordings of the well-made pieces on the CD invite you to listen to them ‘just for fun’ and thus encourage you to play along and repeat them. Content: - Bed on the Floor - Going Down the Road Feeling Bad - Miss Molly's Ragtime Cake - If She Is Going Away - Picking Peter & paul - The Greyhound Passage - Turtle Turn - The Thumb Generator - Time-Driver - No Sixes, No Sevens - Latin Grooves, Vorstudien zu Latino Beachbirds - Latino Beachbirds

Der zweite Band von "Fridolin goes Pop" beginnt mit zwei leicht gesetzten Traditionals im Feeling eines Ragtime-Blues. Bei allen folgenden Titeln sind die gitarristischen Ansprüche deutlich höher. Neben vielen Lagenwechseln werden Barrégriffe verlangt, zusätzlich Aufschlag- und Abziehbindungen, mehrstimmiges Spiel und ausgearbeitete Akkordzerlegungen. Die in der Popmusik übliche Rhythmik setzt außerdem einen sicheren Umgang mit Synkopen und Off-Beats voraus. Doch dies sollte versierten Gitarristen keine Schwierigkeiten bereiten, zumal die Einspielungen der gut gelungenen Stücke auf der CD dazu einladen, "einfach nur so" gehört zu werden und dadurch zum Mit- und Nachspielen anregen.
