Acknowledgments
Thanks to all the folks who helped make this project a reality.
Years ago, after hearing a tune on one of my early albums, James Jensen of Solid Air Records
had the idea for me to do a blues-oriented recording. The resulting solo guitar project, Shades
of Blue, would not have happened without him.
Aaron Stang of Warner Bros. Publications has been a great inspiration during this project and
its sister DVD. His kind patience and knowledge of guitar were instrumental in making it all
come together.
Frank LaRouche helped immensely by transcribing my music so that the folks at Warner Bros.
Publications would have something from which to work.
And finally, my wife, Amy White, helped every step of the way by being my best ~usical editor
and my best friend.

TRANSCRIBED BY: FRANCOIS LaROUCHE

Introduction
A number of varied techniques are represented in this book. Some come directly from my
blueslrock guitar past and others from playing lute in the university madrigal group or playing
funk bass with a top-40 dance band during the '70s. My acoustic guitar career began with some
serious flatpicking of bluegrass, newgrass, and swing during the '80s and eventually led to writing
and interpreting Celtic music for fingerstyle guitar in the '90s. I'm always amazed at how much of
each style stays with me when I sit down to write or arrange a tune for fingerstyle guitar.
Playing Celtic music in DADGAD tuning taught me new ways to approach the guitar and brought
me full circle to the blues and rock styles of my youth. I was struck with how easy it was to play
these styles on an acoustic guitar when three of the strings are tuned down a whole step and the
bottom two strings make an open fifth. Suddenly, I could bend notes as I did on electric guitars,
and with a bit of practice, I could even add bass and drum parts to accompany myself. A whole new
world opened to me.
Most of the tunes in this book are from my Shades of Blue album on Solid Air Records. I let the spirit
of improvisation carry me many times during the recording of that album, and most of the tunes
are played a bit differently each time I revisit them. In addition, there are three pieces that are more
from the Celtic side of the spectrum and are also included on the DVD Celtic, Blues and Beyond.
These tunes also differ somewhat from my original recordings. The important thing is to get the
melody and the feeling in each of the tunes. The rest is up for grabs. I think it's always best for each
guitarist to reinterpret the tune to fit his or her style and showcase his or her own strong points.
In every case, however, it is important to set up a hierarchy within the parts of an arrangement. The
melody is always played loudest, the bass line a bit softer, and the chord flll notes softer yet. This
approach helps separate the different parts and make everything clearer and easier to listen to.
Ballad tunes should be played as if they were being sung. The music should breathe and not feel
restricted by the meter.
The next few pages contain specific notes about each of the tunes included in this collection. I hope
you enjoy everyone of them.

The Compositions

After Dark
This one is a relatively straightforward jazzy blues built from a melody and bass line. Note that the
first section is played with a swing feel as if the tune were in 12/8. The second part is played straight
and a bit faster. The transition back to the swing feel happens over a few measures and should be
gradual and smooth.

Alphonso Brown Is Back in Town
My name really is Alphonso Brown Petteway. I always fancied Alphonso Brown as my funk bass playing alias. The primary techniques used in this tune combine a funk bass sensibility with blues licks.
The hardest part (and the most satisfying) is keeping that downbeat happening at all times. The
intro and the funky rhythmic patterns that occur throughout the piece use a technique I came up
with to imitate bass and drums playing together. My right hand maintains a constant slap on the
strings by playing notes on the downbeat with the back of my nails and by pulling the string away
from the fingerboard with the flesh of my finger for any notes on the upbeat. With the addition of
hammer-ons and pull-offs, this technique can result in an incredible groove. You can teach yourself
this technique by playing simple melodies on one string while maintaining the downbeat hit on the
strings. It's not easy, but once you get it, you'll be able to improvise easily. During the main section
of the tune, I use a pretty straightforward technique of muting the bass string with my right-hand
palm while playing blues licks with my fingers. There's lots of bending and snapping going on.

The Darkest Hour
This one is a total improvisation. I used the trick of tuning the entire guitar down a step so that I
could bend the strings further and with more expression.

E Funk
Again the hierarchy of melody, bass, and chords comes into play. The "x" represents a rhythmic hit
on the strings. You can execute the funky bass lines by pulling the string away from the fingerboard
and letting it slap down for the note to sound. This technique takes very little effort but results in a
nice loud slap sound.

Eureka Hotel
Here's a great use for DADGAD tuning: Play the melody in parallel octaves on
three pairs of strings. The repeating bass notes on the downbeat keep this tune
rolling along, and the melody comes right out of the chords. Many times, my
fingers are holding down the entire chord even when I play only one or two notes
of it. That way, I'm safe if I hit one of the other strings by accident or if I want to
fill out the chord a bit more.

Lightning Rod
This tune evolved from an exercise I wrote for my students to teach them how
to jam with themselves. Learning to playa repeating quarter note on the low
E string while improvising on top can lead to hours of fun.


Meant to Be
In DADGAD, the key of Am lends itself nicely to blues styles. On this tune, I set up a rhythmic
pattern with my right hand hitting the strings on beats 2 and 4 rather than on every beat. This
creates a nice backbeat to play the melody over. The same technique is used as in "Alphonso
Brown," where any notes that fall on 2 or 4 must be played with the back of the nails to maintain
the rhythmic pattern. Many times I'll stretch notes up without releasing them or start
notes at the top of a stretch and bring them down. Both of these techniques sound great on
acoustic guitar.

She Moved Through the Faire
Traditionally sung a cappella, this melody in the Mixolydian mode falls nicely under the fingers
without having to change positions. Remember to breathe and let the tempo relax at the ends of
phrases. These kinds of tunes just don't sound right if they are played with a metronomic feel. In
measure 23, the triplet can be played by alternating the thumb and first finger or using all three
fingers on the right hand in quick succession on the one note.

Requiem
This tune needs lots of space as well. The ornaments are very Celtic, but the chord structure is not.

Slinky Soozie
I cheated on this one by tuning the entire guitar down a whole step. Many of my favorite blues
techniques involve stretching pairs of strings. On an electric, it's easy, but with a wound mediumgauge
third string on an acoustic, it's nearly impossible unless you tune down. Since I wanted
to play in standard tuning, this meant tuning down all six strings. It really feels slinky when
you do this.

Smoky Mountain Morning
This Celtic-sounding piece evolves into more of a mountain tune complete with the sound of
a frailing banjo. DAD GAD tuning is wonderful {or these kinds of things because of its modal
character. The melody in the frailing section is played with the thumb while the backs of the first
and second fingernails are used to strum in a down-up pattern creating a banjo-like drone.

Spindrift
The right-hand arpeggio in measures 3 and 7 is played T 1 2 3 2 1 T. Practice this
move slowly until it becomes relaxed and flows easily from the tips of your fingers.
I used this arpeggio to relax my right hand when warming up since it's almost
impossible to do when the muscles in your hand are tensed.

St. Clair's Rag
Simple alternating bass lines drive this Am rag.


Station to Station
The technique used here is the same as the one in the second half of "Smoky Mountain
Morning:' The melody is played in octaves, and the chords are strummed with the fingertips
using a down-up pattern. The intent is to imitate a train speeding up to full speed before pulling
into the next station. The rhythm should be kept even as it speeds up and then slows down. On
some of the double-stops, use vibrato to emulate a slide guitar.

Tony's Rag
This one is just a fun rag based on thousands of similar rags I've heard. The time signature says
4/4, but it feels more like it is in 2/4 when played up to speed. If you tap your foot, tap on beats
1 and 3 instead of all four to get this feel. Pay close attention to the cascading line that appears in
measures 43 and 44. It's a tricky one since some of the higher notes are played on the lower
strings. Using open strings in conjunction with fingered notes can be really effective, especially
in fast passages like this one.

The West Wind
Better known as an Irish tune called "The South Wind," this old Celtic piece is claimed under
different names by all of the Celtic nations. Since I learned it from a piping record, it had a
decidedly Scottish flavor. One of the typical musical figures in Scottish music is the "Scottish
Snap." Typically written as a 16th-dotted-eighth-note pattern, it appears here as a 32nd-dotted16th-
note figure due to the tune being transcribed in 6/8 rather than 3/4. It still sounds exactly
the same.

THE '50s ERA, WHERE ARE THEY NOW ? la bamba - Bye Bye Love - GUITAR TABLATURE

THE THE '50s ERA, WHERE ARE THEY NOW ? TABLATURE

SERIES: Where Are They Now?
CATEGORY: Guitar Mixed Folio
VERSION: Guitar/Vocal with Tablature
FORMAT: Book
Dave Rubin


Each book in the Where Are They Now? series contains over 50 songs by the artists who defined the music of the era. Plus, each book contains an essay about the times and a special "Where Are They Now?" update section on the songs and the artists.
The '50s Era artists include: Beach Boys, Bill Haley and the Comets, Debbie Reynolds, Del Shannon, Diamonds, Dion and the Belmonts, Duanne Eddy, Eddie Cochran, Elvis Presley, Everly Brothers, Fats Domino, Isley Brothers, Little Richard, Penguins, Platters, Ricky Nelson, Roy Orbison, Ritchie Valens, and more!

Nel 1964 un'allora sconosciuto chitarrista di nome Jimi Hendrix, registrava con uno speudonimo con gli Isley Brothers la canzone "testify". Hendrix in quel periodo era senza casa e fu O'Kelly Isley che lo vide mentre era in un negozio e lo portò a casa della famiglia Isleys. Presto Hendrix sarà incluso nelle registrazioni che il gruppo stava facendo, "Testify" e "Move" over and let me dance".

 

The '50s Era: Rockin' Around the Clock 

An amazing confluence of musical and sociological forces combined to create the first rock era in the '50s. The end of World War II in 1945 was followed by a period of cautious optimism regarding our economic future and anxiety about the vast global changes brought about by the dropping of the atom bomb and the ascendancy of Russiaas a world power. After being excluded from aspects of American life taken for granted by white people, doors began opening for blacks starting with Jackie Robinson breaking the color barrier in baseball in 1947. That same year Leo Fender brought out the first commercially successful solid-body electric guitar, thereby allowing the playing of much louder music. As had been the case in the first half of the twentieth century, popular music was affected by these developments. Swing jazz, boogie-woogie, and blues had begun metamorphosing into a hybrid known as rhythm & blues (R&B) near the end of the war. More dance-oriented than blues, but earthier than swing jazz, it was the music of celebration and romance although topics like race and politics were sometimes alluded to. Saxophonist and singer Louis Jordan was in the forefront with jumpy, jivey tunes like "Choo Choo Ch Boogie" and "Caldonia" that were built on infectious rhythms and featured witty, intelligent lyrics. Other early pioneers included Charles Brown, Nat "King" Cole, and Ray Charles. All three were accomplished piano players and singers with a blues bent and were supported by low-key guitarists as sidemen. The electric guitar was, however, making noise as an exciting featured solo instrument around the music scene as the technology advanced, and it had been ever since blues godfather T-bone Walker and jazz giant Charlie Christian ignited the airwaves in the early '40s. By the beginning of the '50s, blues shouters like Big Joe Turner were belting out a form of raw, raucous R&B suspiciously close to what would become rock 'n' roll. At the same time Les Paul and Mary Ford were creating an innovative type of pop music that was so optimistic it was practically giddy. Though Les had a blue streak in his playing, the artificial, overdubbed studio world where his guitar and Mary's voice existed was a far cry from the funky juke joints and house parties where the new black music fomented. Concurrently, R&B vocal groups with bird names like the Orioles, Ravens, and Flamingos began singing street-corner harmonies that would come to be called doo-wop. Out in the country, guitar pickers like Scotty Moore-influenced by the western swing of Bob Wills, the honky-tonk country & western (C&W) of Merle Travis, and the blues-were starting to fool around with a new music that borrowed from white C&W and black R&B. A revolution was in the making, just waiting for someone to lead the way. Four years into the decade the planets were in the right position in the heavens for a shooting star from decidedly humble beginnings to blaze a path to the front. The end of one decade and the beginning of another does not demarcate eras. An argument can be made that the '50s rock era did not arrive until 1954. That year Senate hearings on Commie-baiter Joseph McCarthy were televised, the Supreme Court banned school segregation, and powerful H-bombs were tested by the U.S. Government, events that would have a profound effect on teenagers and later the baby-boomers born just after WWII. Though their parents had weathered the war years and were grateful for the outcome, some children felt disaffected and confused, a situation dramatically presented in Rebel Without a Cause with new teen idol James Dean. Most significant for the emerging youth culture, however, were Bill Haley and the Comets' waxing "(We're Gonna) Rock Around the Clock" in April and the work of a poor young truck driver from Memphis, Elvis Aron Presley, who in July of 1954 cut a couple of songs at Sun Records in Memphis as a gift for his mother and to celebrate his nineteenth birthday. A year later Haley's blockbuster would hit #1 on the Billboard charts and be prominen ea ured in Blackboard Jungle, one of the first films about tension in inner-city schools. Elvis would be called back to Sun by producer Sam Phillips. Phillips, who had been recording heavy bluesmen like Howlin' Wolf and Ike Turner, had been frequetly quoted as saying that he could "make a million dollars" if he had a white man who could sing like a black man. He gambled on Elvis being the one and changed the course of popular culture. The irony is that black blues and R&B already figured prominently in Elvis's musical experience and that the song that broke him in the South was "That's Alright Mama," originally performed by blues artist Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup. This co-opting of black culture by rock 'n' rollers, though accomplished with respect and acknowledgment by Elvis and many others since, would cross ethical boundaries with "covers" of black songs by pale imitators like Pat Boone. The ramparts of pop music continued to be scaled in 1955 as Chuck Berry, the "father of rock 'n' roll guitar," roared across the radio waves with "Maybellene" in 1955. Besides creating an original instrumental style based on the blues, boogie, and C&W music, Berry astutely observed the consuming passions of (white) teenagers with cars, girls, and rock 'n' roll itself. In 1956 Elvis hit the big time by signing with RCA Records. Little Richard, Fats Domino, Jerry Lee Lewis, Bo Diddley, the Everly Brothers, Ricky Nelson, and Buddy Holly, not to mention instrumentalists like Duane Eddy and the Ventures, would follow as the reign of the tenor saxophone ended and the low-slung guitar became the sound and the symbol of the times. The visceral effect that the new music had on the youth of America was not lost on the keepers of the public morals. Crusaders relentlessly criticized rock 'n' roll and deemed it "jungle music" whose ability to excite to the point of delirium was alarming. Unfortunately, they were provided with unintentional ammunition. Elvis was censured for wiggling his pelvis on TV (and removed from the scene by induction into the Army in 1958) and pioneer R&B and rock promoter Alan Freed (credited with coining the term "rock 'n' roll") was caught up in the payola scandals of the late '50s. It all seemed to come to a grinding halt when Chuck Berry was arrested for violating the Mann Act (transporting a minor girl across state lines for immoral purposes) and Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and the Big Bopper (J. P. Richardson) were killed in a small plane crash in 1959. Cute novelty songs about flying saucers and "The Purple People Eater" coming on the news of the Russians launching Sputnik, the first man-made satellite, did nothing to stop the powers that be from prematurely dancing on the presumed grave of the rebellious music. Meanwhile, Dick Clark with his daily "American Bandstand" and his Saturday night show kept the barely flickering flame alive with tame pop acts like Fabian and Frankie Avalon as the decade ended. The next three years saw folk and its puny cousin, hootenanny music, followed by the descendants of doo-wop, the great girl groups like the Shirelles and Crystals. Early soul music, the next evolutionary step from R&B and surf, that revitalizing instrumental music from California, helped to rescue rock from Andy Williams and Connie Francis. The Beach Boys, though coming from the same Southern California hot rod and beach scene as surf music, elevated popular music again to a level of youthful exuberance founded on finely crafted songwriting that owed a surprising debt to Chuck Berry. Though Elvis never regained his bluesy vitality after coming out of the Army in 1960, Roy Orbison made the transition from '50s rockabilly to epic flights of emotional intensity with classics like "Crying." The torch was passed to John F.Kennedy from the old general, President Dwight D. Eisenhower, in 1960, but the sound, look, fashions, and conservative politics of the '50s persisted until JFK'sassassination in November 1963 and the British Invasion of 1964. The counter-culture revolution that rose out of those two seminal events would alter the music and politics of the entire civilized world in the '60s.

HOWE STEVE, GUITAR PIECES. Mick Barker - CLAP - RAM - MOOD FOR A DAY - SURFACE TENSION

YES, HOWE STEVE, GUITAR PIECES.

 

 

Steve Howe

 

Guitar Piece

A collection of original Steve Howe guitar solos with notes from Steve and Mick Barker, who transcribed the pieces, on exactly how they should be played Titles include: Clap, Mood For A Day, Sound Chaser, Ram, and more.

 

 

Steve Howe is internationally recognisedas one of the finest guitarists of our time. His talent is acknowledged byfellow musicians, who listen to his playing with respectand in order to learn. For thefirst time ever, a guitarist of the stature of Steve Howe has published a collection of his own solos and shows exactly how they should beplayed. Long time associate Mick Barker, who has transcribed all of the pieces in this collection, has added notes clarifying technica! points in the pieces. Steve Howe has also included some notes of his own, which give an insight into his attitude towards his music. Titles included are:

 

Clap

Mood For A Day

The Ancient

Sound ChaserDiarY'Of A Man Who Vanished

Surface Tension

Meadow Rag

Ram

 

Every guitarist today should have this book in his library. It represents contemporary guitar music at its best and most exciting. Steve Howe originally made his name with res. Since then his interes,tin guitar has widened to coverall its vast possibilities: jazz, country, classical, ragtime. His unique musicianship has placed him in the ore/ron! of his profession, and in the Melody Maker e was votea world's best guitarist twice (for two years) and best overall guitarist in Guitar Player Magazine for 5 years consecutively from 1977-1981.

 

 

 

In doing these transcriptions, I have tried to write them in such a way that even a player who is not familiar with a piece should, after some practice, be able to produce a reasonable facsimile of the original. The pieces are for the most part unaccompanied. Steve plays them as he feels them, laying back on some sections and pushing others. Capturing these variations has led to the use of fairly complex time signatures, but persevere with them, they work! You will find much use made of the tenuto or as it is normally abbreviated 'ten'. For those unfamiliar with the phrase it comes from the Italian and means 'held' or 'sustained'. Thus, notes so marked should be held on for a little longer than their written value. It allows the writer or transcriber to keep the normal time signature, but put the correct 'feeling' into the phrase. I have only resorted to use of the ubiquitous 'cadenza' on two occasions and even then the relative note values are correct and should not present any problems. A lot of the phrases are played in chord positions and the player should let notes ring. This is normal in much guitar music and. I have tied notes over in sections where I felt it was not clear what was intended, but for the most part 'let em ring'. The chord symbols are only to help find the chord shape for a phrase and do not take into account passing notes and other embellishments which must be read from the notation. When notes are doubled on different strings they are marked Thus, the G would be played on the open G string and also the 4th string (5th fret). All numbers refer to strings and not fingering. Clap was the first of Steve's work that I transcribed and I realized just writing it down in notation would not be enough. In many chords the same note sounds on different strings at the same time. Giving positions would be confusing as sometimes the top note of the chord is not played on the top string. This is why I decided to signify which strings notes were sounding on. This not only shows notes sounding twice it also gives you the position. If this is still not clear a good example is in bar 84. Using this method I hope you will be able to find the right shapes for this interesting piece. Ram is played in the 1st (C Major) position except where indicated. The chords marked with an asterisk in the ad lib banjo section were ninths on the original recording but Steve now prefers sharp ninths. In the G Major section where I've cued the bottle neck solo, you can combine the written melody with the chord symbols and play it as a solo. I find it easier to play the first two bars as is and then bring the melody down the octave and play in the 1st position. The pause just before the end is actually 8Y2 beats so to be exactly like the record count eight and kick in to the 5/4 bars. In Mood For A Day the listesso changes between 3/8,12/8 and 3/4 need not create any problems. Just keep your foot tapping and remember that in the 12/8 and 3/8 bars it is three quarters per beat and in the 3/4 and 2/4 bars, two quarters per beat. The bracketed notes about midway through the piece ...
