Differences in the styles of Merle Travis, Chet Atkins, Mose Rager. Thumbstyle guitar is a term that describes the guitar playing style that grew up around 1920 in western Kentucky. It is identified with the music of its most well known creators, Mose Rager, Kennedy Jones and Merle Travis. It became the basis for later styles of country guitar, including those of Chet Atkins, Doc Watson and Jerry Reed. In this lesson Pat Kirtley teaches the basics of this style, and shows you how to play five repertoire-building tunes which will illustrate various aspects of the style. The tunes range from the basic and essential, I Am a Pilgrim, to a contemporary thumbstyle arrangement of the 1970 country hit, Ready for the Times to Get Better. Pat also shows you: the basic right-hand concepts of thumbpicking; how to use the thumbpick; right-hand palm muting using the left-hand thumb for holding chords; differences in the styles of Mose Rager, Merle Tracis and Chet Atkins; how to play up the neck chords in the style of Mose Rager; Chord form variations used by thumbstyle players. Includes a 24-page tab/music booklet.

It's been 20 years since guitar monster Joe Satriani shook the world with his debut solo release, Not of This Earth. But when we broke this news to Satch himself, he couldn't believe it. 'Wow," he marvels. "I had no idea." Quickly he logs onto his website, satriani.com. "Whaddya know! You're absolutely right!" Of course, this just proves that Satriani isn't the type to look back-especially when he's got something like Super Colossal on his mind. Who can blame him? Even in a catalog that's overflowing with some of the most amazing six-string wizardry ever documented, Super Colossal, his newest Epic release, stands out. Whether you're a connoisseur of the guitaristic arts or someone who simply digs great grooves and passion in music, this CD lives up to its name. In fact, though Satriani has had a dream career that's ranged from building a reputation as the teacher that the greatest guitarists sought out for lessons, to exploding all over the map with more than ten million sales of eleven solo albums (two platinum, four gold), thirteen Grammy nominations, three platinum DVD's, the historic G3 guitar summits, and tours/sessions with everyone from Mick Jagger to Deep Purple to Spinal Tap, Super Colossal is an unprecedented achievement. Why? Because it's about more than playing guitar. It's about the magic in music. More precisely, it's about finding that sweet spot where sweeping gestures and a craftsman's attention to detail enrich each other. You hear it in the title track's thundering, foot-stomp beat and intricately textured lead line; in the spiritual intensity of "A Love Eternal"; in the raucous, party-down exhilaration of "Crowd Chant"; and in the cinematic menace of "One Robot's Dream:' And especially, you feel it because Satriani is digging-aown, finding the right note and letting.Jt fly, and focusing more on touching hearts than blowing minds. Super Colossal, then, completes his transformation, long in progress, from stunning instrumentalist to fully realized artistl "People who picked up on my records ear19on knew that I couldn't be easily pigeonholed;' Satriani says. "I was never a metal player or a fusion player or a straight-ahead rock player, though these are all elements of my personality. I think I just go further into each of those places now, especially on Super Colossal. To me, there's more variety here than on any other album I've done:' The title reflects the ambition that Satriani brought to this project from its first conceptual glimmer. In the spring of 2005 he was winding down the tour behind his previbus album, Is There Love in Space?, a marathon that had him playing 115 shows in 25 coun· tries over 14 months. His plan was to head home to San Francisco after the last show in India, wrap up a few projects-the G3 Live in Tokyo DVD, music for a NASCAR video game-and then start cutting a live CD. Maybe that was his road adrenaline talking, for once he allowed himself a short vacation, a different picture took shape. "It dawned on me that I didn't want to do that live album right now;' he explains. "In fact, I was totally against it. Instead, I wanted to stay in my little cave-my home studio-and build a beautiful t powerful record, one that sounds big on the su ce but also has details hidden inside that you hear after listening for maybe the tenth time.” With that, Satriani combed through more than 30 of his latest songs. As he whittled this list down, he backed away even further from the live concept, to the point that he decided to do the record, aside from the drum tracks, on his own. "I couldn't let any of them go," he admits. And so the hard work began. In early morning and late evening sessions, recording digitally in the cozy facility he'd built next to his son's playroom, shaping each sound carefully through familiar and new equipment, Satriani addressed his songs, beginning with a guide track that he'd lay down on electronic drums. The keyboard and guitar followed, with the bass coming in at the end. The further he got, the better he felt about working on his own. 'When you're a multi-instrumentalist, layering each part, you have lots of time to reflect," he says. "After a few months you're dying to take the music out in front of an audience and slam it out. But the opportunity to get really subtle and delicate exists only when you're recording these songs for the first time. Also, you learn from it. You're fully engaged, so that you wake up in the middle of the night thinking about it.You worry and agonize over every detail, but six months later all that fades and you're in love with what you've done." This attention to detail shines throughout Super Colossal. Encouraged by the sounds he was discovering through the interplay of instrument, amp, speaker simulators, and processors, Satriani found ways to express himself through long notes, perfectly selected and caressed, as well as the occasional blinding run. "It was a journey for me to playa song like 'Ten Words,'" he points out, "to learn how to be restrained. You're not just wailing. It's hard to make an instrumental that really says something; that's not just background music or some superficial 'get up and dance' thing. There's nothing wrong with either of those forms; it's just that I'm not doing tI1at. I'm going deeper. "Besides, after making records for-now that you've pointed it out-20 years;' he adds, just a bit wryly, "I'd feel bad if somebody said, 'Man, you're just playing indiscriminately: You're supposed to get better and to learn how to make the music work, and sometimes that does mean laying back and really speaking through your guitar instead of treating it as a vehicle that lets you play realt fast, which increasingly means less and less to me:' After finishing his tracks, he sent them out for live drum overdubs: Four-"A Cool New Way;' "One Robot's Dream," "The Meaning of Love," and "Made of Tears"-went to session giant Simon Phillips in L.A.; the rest were cut by Satriani's longtime associate Jeff Campitelli in Vancouver, at the Armoury, a studic that co-producer Mike Fraser (AC/DC) recommended. The acoustics of its main room yielded exactly what Satriani wanted for the rhythm track: a big, brawny resonance that complemented the power of his most aggressive lines, and a rich whisper for softer moments. "I wanted a sound that was complex and emotional but never revealed the technology behind it," the guitarist explains. "As a result, I managed to find the best guitar tones I've ever put on record. The sound of this album, the incredible variety that somehow fits under this umbrella of uper Colossal, a it special in our book. “And he reminds us, ”I didn't even know I was celebrating 20 years”

RIGHT-HAND DAMPING

And now for more discussion of right-hand technique. Right-hand damping (not to be

confused with the already-discussed right-hand muting) accomplishes two things: it

gives you a more solid attack by anchoring your right hand on the face of the guitar,

and it creates a thumpier and faster-decaying sound on the low strings.

To damp the bass strings with your hand, let the fleshy part of your palm-the

part that moves with your thumb-rest on the bottom few strings right where those

strings meet the bridge of the guitar. Experiment by sliding your hand more onto the

bridge or more toward the soundhole and then picking the bass strings with your

thumb to hear the different degrees of muting you can get. Compare this with the way

the strings sound when you hold your hand completely off the face of the guitar. The

ideal sound, if we can say one exists, is one in which the strings are neither completely

cut off nor completely ringing out but are somewhere in between. You want to

hear the notes, and have them ring long enough to hear their actual pitch, but to

decay quickly.

Welcome to the Blues

Blues music is one of the most expressive forms of music in existence. This highly personal and emotive style is, for many, the perfect vehicle for self-expression, evoking at the same time both a sense of jubilation and a melancholy recognition of the complexities of the human condition. Undoubtedly, the guitar and blues music go hand in hand. This wonderful instrument's dynamic and articulate qualities are stretched to the limit when used expertly within the blues. Each subtle movement of finger on string can be used to coax a beautifully expressive and highly personal
sound from the instrument. 

How This Book Works
Each of the eleven chapters in this book includes four complete solo studies, each written in the style of a famous artist who is representative of a specific genre or geographical area relevant to the development of the blues. An analysis of each solo follows in the 'Checkpoint' section, breaking each solo down into bite-size licks and phrases. These can form the basis of your own improvisational style as you are encouraged to both learn each solo as a cohesive study and also to 'chop-and-change', filing any favourite licks away for later use. 

To accompany each solo study we will also take a look at both technical and conceptual approaches,
both those typical of the genre as a whole and also those that are unique and specific to each individual artist. These are designed to develop progressively, so although you can successfully 'dip' into any study at any point in the book at random, you are encouraged to work through the 'Assignments and Improvisation Tips' sections sequentially from beginning to end.

It is this quest for mastery and understanding of these exact qualities that has no doubt led you here. The aim of this book is to help you fulfil a desire to achieve a greater facility and complete awareness of the process involved, be it technically, conceptually, dynamically or expressively, to produce better blues and, specifically, to improvise well with stylistic authenticity and with a high level of musical freedom within the blues guitar idiom. Good luck and happy practising! 

Chapters 2-10 feature a rhythm study typical of each sub-genre, which forms the harmonic and rhythmic basis over which the solo studies are based. It's crucial that your 'rhythm-chops' are up to scratch, so whilst it's tempting to skip these sections in favour of the more flashy solos, any work in this area will be ultimately rewarded in the overall level of your playing and all-round musicality. Chapters 1 and 11 focus on unaccompanied blues styles and therefore have no rhythm study.
 

This comprehensive book gives an in-depth insight into blues guitar and views it as a continuum, from early Chicago Blues, through Memphis and Detroit Blues, the British Blues boom, Jazz Blues and many other blues genres, right up to the blues styles of today’s hottest guitarists.
