Par RODMANN BERTINO. Gypsy Jazz (sometimes known as Jazz-Manouche) is the first unique style of jazz music originating from Europe. It has influences that stem from; Hungarian Czardas; French musette waltzes; Spanish flamenco; and, of course, the music of the Sinti. It was originally played exclusively by Sinti musicians in a swing style. Django Reinhardt, the most renowned player of Gypsy Jazz, made it popular throughout the world with his ground-breaking techniques. To this day countless guitarists are influenced by the music and personality of Django Reinhardt. In Sinti culture, the techniques of playing Gypsy Jazz are traditionally passed down orally from generation to generation without ever being written down. It is because of this that musicians who are not Sinti often misunderstand the essence of this distinctly intriguing and fascinating music. The need for an authentic, written introduction to Gypsy Jazz guitar inspired Bertino Rodmann, a performing Gypsy Jazz guitarist from Frankfurt, Germany, to create this written method for Gypsy Jazz Guitar. Using the best examples of all the best  performances, past and present, as well as showcasing the typical aspects of rhythm and lead guitar in Gypsy Jazz, his book aims to develop the reader?s respect for the ancient traditions of the Sinti and their music and bring this to a wider culture.   Contents: Rhythm Guitar: Comping | La Pompe-rhythm | Dead notes | Gypsychords | Voicings | Blues cadence | Chord substitution Solo Guitar: Reststroke picking | Arpeggio picking | Sweptstroke picking | Scales | Arpeggios | Solo licks Transcriptions: Blues Clair (Django Reinhardt) | Blues en mineur (Reinhardt/Grapelli) | Douce Ambiance (Django Reinhardt) | Good times (Bertino Rodmann) | Minor Swing (Reinhardt/Grapelli) | Swing 48 (Django Reinhardt) | Valse à Bertino (Bertino Rodmann)   / Methods

The Beginner Guitarist has been born out of 20 years of teaching experience. Although specifically designed as a teacher???s aid it can also be used for independent study.Topics like posture tuning andphrasing are not prescribed being left to the judgement of the teacher. With the exception of right and left-hand fingering advice this approach is used throughout the series. The entire series has the goal of being a measuredand progressive tutor. Ideas are usually introduced one at a time to avoid overloading the student.Book Three places strong emphasis on right-hand technique with the freestroke (tirando) to the fore -thumb and fingers together - while consolidating and building on the notes learnt in first position across the six strings.It also takes a brief look at an alternative tuning and introduces the idea of shifting position.Chords are also given further attention while the introduction of some classic studies from past masters is juxtaposed with a 1970s-style pentatonic-based piece introducing the idea of playing riffs.A set of exercises ondotted notes and a strong selection of pieces complete this volume.About the author: Nigel Tuffs is an instrumental teacher with more than 20 years of experience in all areas of guitar teaching. Originallya member of several rock bands he completed an honours degree at the Colchester Institute specialising in composition and performance and has since worked extensively as a chamber musician in guitar ensembles as an accompanistand also as an educator.

A range of fabulous educational and concert guitar music by the UK's top guitar composers educators and performers.Rush originally started out as a study for the right hand thumb. The piece opens in five with a darting weaving bass melody and harmonic language similar to the Cuban feel of Leo Brouwer's first study. As the piece progresses I played around with some poly-rhythms and syncopations in 3/4 time with a Venezuelan flavour similar to the music of Antonio Lauro.The title Metropolis was created like many of my pieces retrospectively. It was suggested to me by Mark Eden and resonated with much of what I felt the piece conveyed essentially the non-stop hustle and bustle of a musical 'city' where influences combine from many different ages and musical cultures. The initial ideas for the piece came from trying to formulate a study for the left hand where the 4th finger jumps from the first string to the lower bass strings. As is often the case on finishing the piece I now hear many things which although not used consciously have emerged in the music to remind me of music I have listened to or studied in the past.At various points a musical quote taken from the end of the first movement of La Catedral by the Paraguayan guitarist and composer Agustin Barrios Mangore appears which I have syncopated and used as a musical junction with the music taking a different direction each time it appears.Towards the end of the piece the performer combines left hand hammered chords with right hand finger clicks and tamboura creating a visual juggling effect when performed. Something resembling the sound of a siren can then be discerned before the piece moves into the closing E major section. I did most of the work for the final version of this piece in the autumn of 2005 just after the birth of my second daughter!I think the music reflects something of the pace of my life around then!Birds Flew Over The Spire is a short lyrical piece which was also

This DVD recording of John Abercrombie and Andy LaVerne is the most recent in a musical and personal relationship that has spanned some 25 years.In the past John and Andy usually played some standardmaterial; but for this project only original songs by the two of them were recorded.In this way the performance of the duo is more personal than ever. The emphasis here is the interaction and blend of the instruments asopposed to just the individual solos. In the duo things become more exposed and the responsibility of each player becomes greater. It's a challenging and also extremely rewarding situation.
