Par CHAPMAN CHARLES. Bass Line Basics introduces guitarists to the art of adding bass lines to their chord/rhythm playing. Adding bass lines to the average chord progression gives a sense of direction and motion to chord accompaniment. 'Four to the bar' comping with moving bass lines as well as bass lines with chord melody are also covered in this text. These techniques are valuable to the guitarist playing in small group and big band settings. Examples of each technique are written in standard notation and tab and cover a variety of styles. Music theory and chord construction basics are discussed in an easy to understand fashion. The concept of adding bass lines to guitar chord accompaniment is explained in a way that is easy to understand, with examples that are fun and instructional. The accompanying CD gives students the opportunity to hear the examples as they are written in the book. / Niveau : Débutant à Intermédiaire / Jazz - Theory and Harmony / Méthode / Guitare

Par FLINT TOMMY. Fingerstyle guitar is extremely popular today. This is because it lends itself to very personal and lyrical solo and accompaniment styles. This method is one of the very best at teaching the basics of fingerpicking. Written by Nashville's fine guitarist, Tommy Flint, you will learn chording, Travis picking, soloing, scales and accompaniment patterns, playing over the entire fingerboard, barre-chords, two-string harmony, combining hammer and slide, three-against four roll, contrary motion, crosspicking, harmonics, right and left hand agility studies, and much more. A bonus is the inclusion of over 50 great, original Tommy Flint fingerpicking guitar solos which reflect a rich diversity of styles. This volume includes material previously published in two volumes as Mel Bay's Deluxe Fingerstyle Guitar Method. Written in notation and tablature. This package includes a split-track CD which provides play-along demonstrations of many of the exercises and solos in the book, starting with page 41. The solo guitar is on the right with accompaniment guitar on the left, so you can eliminate the solo part or accompaniment by adjusting the balance control of your player. / Niveau : Tous Niveaux / Bluegrass and Country - Methods / Méthode / Guitare

Par CHRISTIANSEN COREY. This chart provides a number of common blues licks. Licks are the ideas in a solo that most listeners find to be catchy to the ear. In some cases the licks may be repeated over and over again in a solo. For ease of reading, each of the licks in this chart are written to be played over a standard 12-bar blues progression in the key of A. Most of these ideas are conceived out of the A minor pentatonic scale or the A blues scale. There are a few exceptions however. Have fun with these classic licks. / Niveau : Tous Niveaux / Blues - Reference / Recueil / Guitare

«Une nouveauté aux Productions d'Oz, forts actives dans le domaine de la pédagogie pour guitare. Conçue pour être utilisée avec un professeur, la Méthode progressive pour guitare de Claudio Camisassa se démarque des autres ouvrages pour guitaristes débutants. De très nombreux morceaux sur les cordes à vides (une quinzaine de pages) permettent à l'élève de se concentrer sur l'acquisition d'un bonne technique de main droite, seul le pincé étant abordé dans ce premier volume. La méthode qui s'appuie sur un répertoire original écrit par Claudio Camisassa, comporte de nombreux duos pour l'éléve et le professeur et, surtout pour l'éléve, un accompagnement optionnel en accord ou en arpèges des mélodies travaillées. Deux pages d'exercices journaliers simples mais réellement efficaces, accompagnées d'indications précises sur Ies techniques de jeu, complètent cette méthode au chemin pédagogique efficace et rigoureux.» (François Nicolas, Guitare Classique, 2e trimestre 2002) ?This well-presented volume takes students from the very beginning with four main objectives of Classical Guitar Magazine developing technique, sight-reading, basic chord accompaniments and duo playing, and assumes the student is working with a teacher. It is very methodical, beginning with photographs of hand positions etc, and gives explanations of both rest and free stroke from the start. The first musical examples are open string melodies with added chord symbols with plenty of varied exampIes, and blank staves are given for note-writing exercises and also for aural tests, both of which are useful ideas for reinforcing general musical understanding. Apart from chord symbols, the left hand is first introduced with natural harmonics at the twelfth fret in an effective two-part exercise Carillon, which requires right fingers and thumb. Combinations of open strings and right-hand arpeggios follow and the opening section is brought to a natural close with Valse des Harmoniques - nicely shaped and quite complex with its use of natural harmonics, but a bit over-long. Camisassa now introduces notes on each string, in turn, in first position, and more complex arpeggio patterns, illustrated by pieces utilising each new group of notes. 2-guitar arrangements of tunes including Frere Jacques and Au Clair de la lune and Alouette, gentille alouette work quite weIl with straightforward accompaniments. I liked Camisassa's Tango, and Recuerdo de mi infanta, a two-part milonga reminiscent of Cardoso. Favourites such as Greensleeves and Malaguena are also included, and there are many pieces by Camisassa included which aim to enforce musical ideas. I found the way this book progresses, and the technical and musical aspects it teaches, very good and very thorough. I found myself using it a lot as supplementary material to demonstrate technical points and for sight-reading. However, the majority of pieces written by Camisassa did not inspire me musically and would need to be supplemented with pieces of more characterful musical interest, particularly for young players, but this volume does have much to offer.?
