BEST IN THE WEST, NASHVILLE GUITAR. Richard Kochli. CD TABLATURE

The History, the Players and the Technique of Country Guitar by Richard Kochli

276 pagine di esempi di Country, Rockabilly, Swing, Nashville, blues, Rock. CD TABLATURE

A comprehensive analysis of American country music from a European perspective, this massive 275-page book comes with a companion CD with 97 tracks. Everything from basic rhythm accompaniment to blazing bluegrass solos is addressed including: Carter lead style, fingerpicking, rockabilly riffs, Nashville lead styles, Western swing and honky-tonk, country blues and rock, Cajun history and styles, and a forecast of the future of country. The book is carefully structured with progressively arranged exercises, theory lessons and original and traditional tunes.

This book should prove to be an important resource for country music enthusiasts. All 387 musical examples appear in both standard notation and tablature. Complete lyrics are provided when applicable. Köchli's love and mastery of the entire spectrum of country music is evident throughout.

To me, country music, or just "country" is one of the basic, high voltage,
artistic movements of the 20th Century. It's a movement and a style that, like
jazz, grew out of the huge melting pot of the United States. Country jumps,
it's alive, it's down home - and it comes from the heart. Those who don't
know it may reduce it to the cliches of "Marlboro-Country" or cowboy movies.
But, they couldn't be more wrong: the country sound is a rich mix of musical
influences, and the innovations of some brilliant instrumentalists. And, best
of all, its approachable, hands-on music; if you play the guitar, you've got to love it.
"Best In The West" is not only my humble attempt to close a gap in the
sector of European instructional literature, but also a way to pay my dues.
When I was in your shoes a couple of years ago, I benefited from some
terrific musicians who reached out to me with their music and instruction
books. Now, I'm honored to be able to make my won contribution by helping
you learn this great style. I also hope, through these chapters and exercises,
that your guitar will become a little more personal - and more exciting.
The book intends to give you a far-reaching overview covering all of the
major guitar styles and techniques to be found in country. Over three
hundred exercises, licks, and traditionals, as well as explanations, styles,
analyses, and hints from the "real world" are meant to inspire you on your
way to becoming a true country player. But country is a lot more than
technique, so I try to give a brief historical background for each major style,
and a little bit about the people who made it happen in the first place.
Therefore, each of the ten chapters starts with some information meant to
put you in the right mood, while the individual workshops contain examples
of the great pioneers of each particular style.
Playing country music is meant to be enjoyed by all sorts of people, so this
book wasn't written with just professionals in mind; it offers something for
everyone. Every chapter is separated into three levels of difficulty:
• Level 1: For newcomers: basic introductory playing as a prerequisite.
• Level 2: For the more advanced: some experience in playing country music and emphasis on variety and specific styles.
• Level 3: For the pros and country-cats: specific techniques, styles, and new horizons.
Of course, there is no strict borderline between the different levels. They
can't be more than a guideline for your selection of exercises. Learning is an
individual thing, so if you're ready to move before I am partner, take off.
The final chapter, "Theory", offers a summary of the most important basics,
scales, chords, and so on. It's meant to help you understand concepts more
easily, and to support and accelerate your learning process.
Originally, country music was a simple form of expression, which was deeply
rooted in the human spirit and spoke to people where they lived. So, it's
important to keep in mind that technical skill is secondary to the "feel" of the
music, its emotion. Because of this, the enclosed CD helps you get started
by introducing you to the sounds, and wide variety of nuances, in country

Robert Palmer writing in The New York Times said it best: "John Renbourn plays a lot of Celtic traditional music, and he plays it surpassingly well. But he is also an eclectic who is liable to throw in jazz pieces, revamped soul music and whatever strikes his fancy. He brandishes a haunting technique, but by and large he does not use it to daunt. His music is first of all a music of feeling."
