SUPERSONIC GUITAR GROOVES, Jeremy Sash. CD TABLATURE

Product Description:
The goal of this book is to promote rhythmically and harmonically challenging phrases and licks in order to give you an authentic inside view on seven selected styles. Live or in a recording session, playing rhythm is the guitarist's main duty. This makes it even harder to understand why most guitarists' rhythm work (frankly) sounds rather unrehearsed and colorless.

Especially since working with drum machines and samplers has become a vital part of musical performance, a good sense of rhythm, and some cool licks may just be your "key to success."

You could improve your rhythmical abilities with some simple methods:
- Please stop practicing rhythm-playing without a metronome!
This unstable ''do-it-yourself-groove" will get you nowhere. Use your
time more effectively: you haven't got enough of it anyway (or does
your girlfriend (boyfriend) have 17 favorite hobbies?).

- Set your metronome (please do not use manual ones) so that it clicks
on beats 2 and 4. You are emphasizing beats 1 and 3 yourself. Place a
piece of cardboard under your foot and tap the clicks of the metronome.
If you can't detect the metronome's click anymore, that's a sign
that you're playing "in time". Isn't it simple to produce a feeling of success?

It is extremely important to be totally Jltight". But there are also situations
in which a more Jllaid back" feeling is more appropriate. It is my guess
that most of you play more ahead of the beat" than ''laid back"!
Your adrenaline takes care of this and mostly you can't help it. That's why
you should also practice playing ''laid back":
Tap your foot a little ''behind" the beat.

- Dynamics! Do yourselves a favor and watch your dynamics while playing.
Imagine talking monotonously, without constantly raising or lowering
your voice. Would this sound very passionate? Well that's how you
will sound if you do not make dynamics a part of your playing.

- Most of the time, a bass or keyboard player will accompany you. For
this reason, it's better to avoid ''root" voicings whose highest and
lowest notes get in your fellow musicians' way. They will do everything
for you if you avoid clashing with them on every other voicing (remember:
you might need some extra hands next time you're moving).
It doesn't matter what you're playing. It's HOW you play it!
- Not 150 notes per second will do the trick, but the ''attitude" and feel
behind the notes.
- Being 120% convinced of what you're playing makes the difference
(often referred to as ''tone").

BACKUP TRAX: BASIC BLUES FOR GUITAR. SHEET MUSIC BOOK WITH CD & GUITAR TABLATURE. 

LIBRO DI MUSICA BLUES CON CD.

SPARTITI PER CHITARRA CON:

ACCORDI PENTAGRAMMA TABLATURE.

Learn to play 14 classic blues the best way--by doing! This book and CD provide your backup band as you explore Country and Urban, Acoustic and Electric, Delta, Texas, Chicago, Slide Guitar, Alternate Tuning, Traditional, and Modern styles in many different major and minor keys and in a variety of tempos. Melodies are first presented on the recording at a slow speed with just guitar, then repeated at regular speed with the band. Finally, you can play along with the hot blues rhythm section alone, and you’ve got the makings of a dynamite blues jam session. You’ll play all the leads and solos! Repeat a tune or passage as many times as you want at slow or regular speed. We’ll jam all night long! Beginners and intermediate players can practice basic skills. Advanced players can hone their improvisation chops. The split track recording allows you to hear either just the melody from one speaker, just the rhythm section from the other, or both for maximum flexibility and specific study. The book includes melodies, chord diagrams and guitar tablature.

Welcome to BackUp TRAX: Basic Blues - 14 pieces carefully chosen to represent a variety of tunes and keys encountered in the basic blues repertoire. BackUp TRAX: Basic Blues is a sampler of Country and Urban Blues, Acoustic and Electric Blues, Delta Blues,Texas Blues, Chicago Blues, Slide Guitar Blues, Traditional and Modem Blues in many different major and minor keys. Each tune is played by a crack backup band: guitar, bass, drums, keyboards and harmonica, which is sure to inspire you to play your best. Each tune is presented at the slow speed fIrst, followed by the regular speed version with melody, and fmally, the regular speed version where you supply all the leads. In each case the melody is panned to the right channel to allow you to isolate it as you study. The rhythm section is panned to the left channel (guitar on the slow versions, most of the band on the regular speed versions) so that you can also isolate it.Tuning tones are included at the beginning of the CD. Tips for working with BackUp TRAX: Basic Blues I designed BackUp TRAX to be a rhythm section for players of all abilities to jam along with and work out their soloing ideas. Though BackUp TRAX are not intended to be method books for improvising in the given style,! will offer suggestions here and there on how to approach the individual tunes. There are many good blues guitar methods on the market which examine the scales, chords and other elements that make up the style.The most important thing, though, is for you to play what you feel and discover your own voice in the process. This process is analogous to learning a new language: melodies, riffs, keys, and scales are your musical vocabulary, grammar and syntax. Along the way you'll experiment with different elements and discover how to combine them in ways that feel most natural to you and express your feelings best. The goal is to make the process second nature by training your head, fmgers, and soul in the mechanics of playing your instrument in your style. Ultimately it'll become as automatic as speech.Along the way, the most important thing is to have fun as you take the music wherever you want it to go. Here are a few suggestions for working with BackUP TRAX: Basic Blues. 1) Before you play, familiarize yourself with the melodies and chord progressions of each tune by listening and reading along. 2) Once you're acquainted with the tunes, memorize the melodies while playing along with the slow version of the piece. Gradually work your way up to the regular speed version. Knowing a song's melody and chord progression is essential in the improvisation process. Older blues and jazz players I know refer to improvisation as "takeoff," where the melody is the starting point for elaborating or "taking off" from the tune and inventing new melodic ideas. 3) Analyze the chords. All of the tunes are written with the classic chord progressions and in the various styles of basic blues. You'll find that the blues repertoire, literally thousands of tunes, is largely based on a very few distinct chord progressions combined in different ways to make up most of the tunes. Because of this simplicity of form, the blues genre is universal the world over. Recognizing these progressions is essential to understanding how a tune works and how it relates to other similar tunes. Note the number of measures in the form, for example, twelve bar blues, sixteen bar blues, or twenty four bar blues. Identify the key a tune is in and whether it's major or minor. Learn to recognize the elements of the progression and which chords are played where. For example, "two measures of I (one) followed by two measures of IV (four)." It's especially important to identify the chords by their Roman numeral names, which defIne a chord's function in a progression and key as opposed to their letter names which reveal much less.You'll also fInd that most professional musicians refer to chords in keys by their Roman numerals. It's a clear and concise way to communicate on stage and makes transposing from one key to another much easier. It all begins with the major scale. Look at the C major scale below with its notes (also called "scale degrees") numbered. Notice that we use Arabic and not Roman numerals. Generally Arabic numerals are used to name notes in a scale, Roman numerals to name chords in a key. "Wh" and "1/2" identify the whole and half step intervals between the notes of the major scale. Each major scale has seven different notes, "do" to "ti;' and seven different chords built on and named by them. This will remain the same for every key.
