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.

Titles include: Oh, You Beautiful Doll, I’ve Got The Blues, High Society, St. Louis Blues, Davenport Blues, Poor Butterfly, Dixie Jass Band One-Step, Memphis Blues, Big Foot Ham, Grandpa’s Spells, The Original Jelly Roll Blues, Midnight Mama, Milenberg Joys, Fizz Water, Back Home in Indiana, Sweet Georgia Brown, Red Wing (An Indian Intermezzo), There’ll Be Some Changes Made, Way Down Yonder In New Orleans, Charleston, Where The Morning Glories Grow, Limehouse Blues, Susie (of the Islands), I Need Some Pettin’, Weather Bird, Cornet Chop Suey, Kansas City Stomps, King Porter Stomp, Jubilee Stomp, Take It Easy, If I Had You, Moonlight Serenade

The 2019 Acoustic syllabus is a refreshed approach to acoustic guitar.

At each grade two of the pieces ask the students to perform without backing track, exploring the sound and resonance of their instrument. The remaining tracks are session style backing tracks that include vocal accompaniment. We've also included the vocal melody lines in the gradebooks for students who sing and play at the same time.

Was Sie in diesem Lehrbuch finden werden, sind 50 Begleitungen für die Akustik-Gitarre 50 Begleitungen, die für alle Kenntnisstufen geeignet sind und der Feder berühmter Songwriter und Gitarrenspieler, wie Tim Buckley, TracyChapman, Nick Drake, The Eagles, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Ben Harper, Jason Mraz u.v.a.m., entspringen. Auch wenn die hier dargebotenen 50 Rhythmiken Ihnen vor allem die Gelegenheit bieten sollen, Ihrer Spiel-Lust zu frönen, sowerden sie Ihnen doch, indem Sie einfach ihrem Beispiel folgen, ganz nebenbei und unbemerkt, die unterschiedlichen, für die Akustik-Gitarre kennzeichnenden Begleittechniken (will hei�en das Akkord- undArpeggiospiel,�bergangs-leersaiten, die geläufigsten rhythmischen Figuren, verschiedene Barré-Klänge, den Umgang mit dem Kapodaster, Open Tunings und einiges andere mehr) beibringen. Die Video-DVD ermöglicht Ihnen, sich die 50Begleitungen anzuhören, aber vor allem anzusehen bei eigentlicher und bei verlangsamter Spielgeschwindigkeit. Sie haben so die Möglichkeit, die richtigen Handgriffe mit den richtigen Fingersätzen rhythmisch im Takt ausführen zulernen(!) Die MP3-CD bietet Ihnen zu jeder Begleitung ein Playalong, was insgesamt 50 ergibt. Diese werden in zwei verschiedenen Tempi abgespielt: im Konzerttempo (bei eigentlicher Spielgeschwindigkeit) und im �bungs-tempo (beiverlangsamter Spielgeschwindigkeit). In dem Playalong bei eigentlicher Spielgeschwindigkeit ist die Gitarre lediglich während des ersten Durchgangs zu hören, dann fällt sie weg, um Ihnen das Feld zu überlassen(!) Die Playalongssind mit Absicht lang gehalten. Jedes davon dauert in etwa 3 bis 4 Minuten, was insgesamt zu 6 h Musizieren führt(!) Auf diese Weise haben Sie genügend Zeit zum �ben und fürs Spielen werden bestmögliche Bedingungen geschaffen.
