For Fingerstyle Guitar. Par GROSSMAN STEFAN. As aspiring fingerpicking guitarists started expanding their horizons from folk, blues, and ragtime in the 1970s, it was only logical to look towards early jazz tunes as a vast source for new possibilities. For one thing, they could follow the same evolutionary path from ragtime to jazz that had been taken by pianists such as Jelly Roll Morton and Harlem stride players like James P. Johnson and Fats Waller. These musicians all composed in a variety of styles, but their most ambitious piano solos expanded on the classic ragtime format developed by the likes of Scott Joplin, James Scott, and Joseph Lamb, using several strains that usually changed keys at least once. Morton, the self-proclaimed inventor of jazz, would record versions of tunes like King Porter Stomp and The Original Jelly Roll Blues that are similar to straight ragtime performances, and others where there is lots of room left for embellishment and jazz improvisation. The present collection is a bonanza for guitarists who want to tackle advanced arrangements along the lines of ragtime but featuring jazz age harmonies from the playing of Jelly Roll Morton, Louis Armstrong, Bix Beiderbecke, WC Handy, the Original Dixieland Jazz Band and other early jazz legends. The 32 arrangements included are by a wide assortment of guitarists including Ernie Hawkins, Pat Donohue, Lasse Johansson, Duck Baker, Ton Van Bergeyk, Sandy Shalk, Steve McWilliam, and Dorian Henry. / Date parution : 2022-01-14/ Recueil / Guitare

The music of the Stanley Brothers and Ralph Stanley and the Clinch Mountain Boys has featured lead guitar work since Bill Napier and George Shuffler brought the guitar to the forefront of the Stanley's music in the late 1950s. This video begins with James Alan Shelton, the current lead guitar player for Ralph Stanley and the Clinch Mountain Boys, picking a tune with the legendary George Shuffler. James then interviews George regarding the development of his 'crosspicking? guitar technique. George demonstrates the technique and provides a guitar solo to one of the tunes he helped to make a bluegrass standard, 'Will You Miss Me.? George and James then pick 'Katy Dear? together and demonstrate their crosspicking talents. The instructional portion of the video begins with James Alan Shelton demonstrating the crosspicking roll and providing several exercises which will serve to train your right hand to gain skill with the crosspicking technique. James then teaches a 'turnaround? to 'Rank Stranger? which utilizes the crosspicking technique to 'fill in the gaps? between vocal lines. He then shows how to take the simple melody line of a song, 'Uncloudy Day,? and incorporate the crosspicking technique between the melody notes. Next, James teaches a crosspicking break to 'Bury Me Beneath the Weeping Willow? and follows that tune by demonstrating how to transform a Carter style guitar solo into a crosspicking solo using the song 'Wildwood Flower? as an example. The next section of the video features James teaching two of his original flatpicking tunes 'Road to Coeburn? and 'Tom's Creek.? This is followed by a fingerstyle performance of Ralph Stanley's favorite guitar number, 'Cannonball Blues.?

Line Games is an organized series of practical studies for the development of single-note guitar technique and jazz vocabulary simultaneously. Many examples are transcribed from the recorded solos of great jazz guitarists (Wes Montgomery, Pat Martino, Joe Pass, etc.) and then the book gives you the tools to develop complete fluency in creating similar lines on your own! Randy Vincent's Line Games is a serious, well-conceived book on jazz guitar. It has a tremendous amount of useful information which can be truly helpful to guitarists seeking thorough knowledge and training in jazz music.? ? Kenny Burrell Topics Covered Include: Basic six-note scales commonly used by the jazz greats. How to use all of the chromatic notes to make playing inside the chord changes sound more interesting and melodic. Triad pairs for modern-sounding lines, as used by all the great players from Coltrane on. Exercises that will give you the tools to create many interesting chord extensions from a few simple arpeggios. How to build long lines across many chord changes. How to use thematic development for more cohesive solos. Fingerings often given to aid in getting these lines under your fingers. Plus much more! 156 pages. More Endorsements: This book is probably the most complete explanation of linear improvisation as applied to the guitar that I have come across. Randy Vincent goes into his subjects, which include a novel take on hexatonic applications, chromatic neighbor tones, and various scale forms and arpeggios, with unprecedented thoroughness. It is also refreshing to see the emphasis on thematic development, and I like how some of the great recorded guitar solos are often used as illustrative examples. I highly recommend it.? ? Ben Monder Randy has come up with another Winner. This is one of the most comprehensive studies I have ever encountered concerning single line improvisation!? ? Vic Juris With all the books on jazz improvisation available I didn't think it was possible to find one that offers a new perspective but Randy Vincent's Line Games does just that. It's a great book! There are many real- world examples of players using the archetypal bebop hexatonic sound and many examples of ways to practice and utilize the sound. In suggesting ways of practicing and using the scale Randy gets you started, but it's up to the reader to strike out on their own ? in my opinion the best way to really grasp a sound or concept. There is a whole lot of material here and I'm looking forward to working with it for a long time. Thanks, Randy!!? ? Bruce Saunders With the plethora jazz guitar books on the market today, one must sort through dozens to find one that yields the results of a tried and true method for learning to play jazz as applied to the guitar. I was pleasantly surprised to find a new book that I feel to have such qualities. This being the jazz guitar book written by Randy Vincent called Line Games for Sher Music Co. Inside, you'll find dozens of examples, explanations, techniques, and the application of the jazz language employed by all the great jazz guitarists we know and love. Great job, Randy!? ?
