CHITARRA - GUITAR

THE BRAZILIAN SOUND FOR FINGERSTYLE GUITAR, BY RICK UDLER. SHEET MUSIC BOOKLET WITH GUITAR TABLATURE & DVD

DVD DI MUSICA, LEZIONE PER CHITARRA CON SPARTITI E TABLATURE. 

When Rick was 11, his family moved to São Paulo, Brazil, and soon after he took up the guitar. While still in his teens, he began performing professionally in São Paulo.

From 1981-1987, Rick lived in New Orleans, Los Angeles, and Miami, where he studied, performed, and built a reputation as a versatile player with a remarkable command of bossa nova.

Rick headed back to Brazil in 1987 to rub elbows with the players he admires so much, as well as to research Brazilian music straight from the source – he's been living there ever since. In 1990, he teamed up with vocalist extraordinaire Maria Alvim; the two continue to perform together to this day.

In 1993 and 1994, Rick was commissioned to compose for the award-winning Grupo de Dois dance company. In 1996, Rhythm and Romance, the highly anticipated debut CD of the Udler-Alvim duo, was released in the U.S. The CD includes Rick's compositions with famed Brazilian lyricists Paulo Cesar Pinheiro and J.C. Costa Netto and guest appearances by some of Brazil’s top musicians, including world-renown artists João Parahyba (percussion) and Bocato (trombone).

Publications such as JazzTimes, Jazziz, Just Jazz Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Rhythm Music, and The Beat gave the recording outstanding reviews, and it was chosen “best debut album of the year” by the nationally syndicated radio program The Sounds of Brazil.

In 1999, Rick had the pleasure to produce legendary Brazilian guitarist Paulinho Nogueira’s first U.S. release, Reflections, which received superb reviews. For a complete change of pace and a bow to his childhood idol, Rick performed as George Harrison in a 2002 Beatles-revival theater production in São Paulo.

Rick’s first entirely instrumental CD, Papaya, was released in Brazil in 2006. The album was conceived as an homage to the acoustic guitar and recorded, mixed and co-produced by studio veteran Eduardo Gebara. Percussion ace João Parahyba once more adds his unmistakable touch along with the superb Zé Alexandre on acoustic bass and on one track, Lika Meinberg on piano. The Brazilian and international press have been unanimous in their praise.

In 2007 and 2008 Rick toured in Brazil and the United States, which included performances and Brazilian guitar workshops at the annual Chet Atkins Appreciation Society convention in Nashville,Tennessee, one of the major fingerstyle guitar events in the USA.

The Brazilian Sound for Fingerstyle Guitar, a DVD lesson taught by Rick and produced by Stefan Grossman's Guitar Workshop was released in January of 2009. During the lesson, Rick shares many of the essential techiniques that are unique to Brazilian guitar styles and which are appreciated around the world.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, arrangement: Rick Udler

AMIGO PAULO

Brazil has produced some of the most vibrant and exciting guitar music in the instrument's history. In this lesson, Rick Udler discusses and demonstrates styles, techniques, and rhythms of Brazil's great players. This is a unique opportunity for guitarists to delve into the beautiful sounds of this musical land.

Rick begins by going over chords that are commonly used by Brazilian guitarists. He then teaches the accompaniment to singer/songwriter Gilberto Gil's beautiful composition, "A Paz", to illustrate the use of chords with open strings. A step-by-step analysis of Bossa Nova accompaniment in the João Gilberto style follows along with suggestions on how to develop a better feel for this sophisticated, syncopated groove.

The solo guitar rendition of the Antonio Carlos Jobim/Newton Mendonça classic "One Note Samba" will be a welcome addition to many players repertoires with it's rhythmic drive and rich harmony.

Samba rhythms are then explored with examples that are sure to enhance one's groove and arsenal of techniques. Rick also gives examples of inner string movement which will prove invaluable to those looking for ways to generate more excitement and authenticity in their comping. A sambified version of "Happy Birthday" demonstrates how to apply these techniques to a familiar tune and make it sound fresh.

And, to provide an even greater challenge for all players, Rick gives a detailed analysis of his tour de force solo guitar piece "Amigo Paulo", composed as an homage to his friend, guitar legend Paulinho Nogueira (1927-2003). This tune with it's choro influences incorporates many of the techniques Rick learned directly from the master and is sure to provide much musical food for thought for players who are looking for innovative new colors and textures to add to their playing.

A MODERN METHOD FOR GUITAR JAZZ SONGBOOK, VOLUME 1. CD

Based on the best-selling method by William Leavitt

SERIE: GUITAR METHOD
EDITORE: BERKLEE PRESS
SUPPORTO: LIBRO CON CD

Play great jazz while you learn from the most revered guitar method of all time. These solos and duets map directly to the lessons of William Leavitt's Modern Method for Guitar Vol. 1, the basic guitar text at Berklee College of Music. Since the 1960s, the Modern Method for Guitar series has been one of world's most popular guitar methods, translated into Spanish, French, and Japanese, and selling over half a million copies.

Carefully overseen and recorded by Larry Baione, chair of Berklee's Guitar Department (and a former student of William Leavitt), these arrangements are crafted to Leavitt's time-proven approach, giving you the chance to apply what you learn to music by Miles Davis, Duke Ellington, Sonny Rollins, Django Reinhardt, and other jazz greats. The accompanying CD demonstrates all tunes and offers play-along tracks for practicing the duets.

At Berklee, we constantly encourage our students to apply what they are learning to real music. Over the years, we have found that certain tunes map well to the curriculum in terms of the techniques required to perform them. Bill Leavitt was among the greatest guitar teachers in the history of Berklee College of Music, and his Modern Method/or Guitar books have been central to Berklee's guitar curriculum for many decades. This songbook includes some of my favorite jazz standards to give to students working through the Modern Method/or Guitar Volume 1. In addition to reading these tunes from the jazz repertoire, I encourage you to spend some time with classic recordings and practice transcribing them by ear. Some of these arrangements are for solo guitar, and some are duets. This is similar to the method itself, and it underscores Bill's insistence that guitarists learn to be well-rounded and explore a variety of playing situations. The accompanying recording will let you practice all parts. The solos and duets are of varying levels. Practice them slowly at first, always working on playing them as legato as possible. If the solo pieces are too difficult, start by practicing just the melodies (the single notes and the top notes of the chords). I hope you enjoy this music, and that it inspires you towards further explorations. Larry Baione, Guitar Department Chair, Berklee College of Music

YOU'LL LEARN FASCINATING CHORDS, ODD TIME SIGNATURES, METRIC AND HARMONIC MODULATIONS, EXOTIC SCALES AND ADVANCED GUITAR SOLOING CONCEPTS.
FINALLY, HERE IS GUIDANCE FOR THE GUITARIST WHO'S READY TO RISE ABOVE AND BEYOND THE CONFINES OF SIMPLE ROCK 'N' ROLL AND PUSH THE BOUNDARIES WHERE FEW DARE TO GO. THE CD DEMONSTRATES THE EXAMPLES IN THE BOOK. 96 PAGES.

Welcome to Progressive Rock Guitar. This book is designed to open up a world of music and guitar technique that goes beyond the normal boundaries of rock. It covers a variety of areas in progressive rock guitar playing including chords and chord progressions, odd meter and syncopated rhythm, scales and soloing strategies and how to put it all together. This book assumes you have a solid knowledge of music notation and! or tablature, major and minor pentatonic scales, modes of the major scale, basic theory such as diatonic harmony and chord construction, lead guitar techniques such as sweep picking, legato and so on. Books such as The Guitar Technique Encyclopedia and Theory for the Contemporary Guitarist would be good companions to this one. Many prog rock guitarists use an assortment of guitar tones. To perform many of the examples in this book, either (or both) a clean or a distorted guitar tone is required. Use an amplifier that can provide both clean and distorted tones with a footswitch, or set your amp to a clean sound and use a distortion effect pedal. Most of the etudes require you switch from one sound to the other while playing. Having the right amp set-up will help you do so. Most progressive rock music is composed, then memorized and performed by the artists. While being able to read the examples is important, you will need to memorize most of the etudes to play them fluently. The CD that accompanies this book has all the examples along with backing tracks for jamming. Progressive rock (often called "art rock") is based on experimentation. It borrows heavily from other styles of music-such as classical, jazz, blues and fusion-to make a "musical goulash." Progressive rock emerged in the late 1960s with acts such as King Crimson, Yes, Iron Butterfly and Jethro Tull, who paved the way for many prog rockers to come. These groups composed epic-length pieces of music with themed lyrical concepts and extended solos, while experimenting (and breaking rules) in the areas of harmony and rhythm. These extensive, artistic musical sculptures found little radio play, but developed a cult-like following. Prog rock groups such as Rush, Kansas and Genesis moved forward in the 1970s and '80s and found more commercial success than their predecessors. The music of many heavy metal bands, such as Queensryche and Fates Warning, had a progressive edge. Progressive solo artists such as Joe Satriani and Yngwie Malmsteen, all with unique voices, also emerged in the 1980s. The 1990s and the new millennium found bands such as Dream Theater and Spock's Beard spearheading a "neo progressive" movement. These bands go about finding new ways to go beyond the old limits and progress along musical pathways that have no boundaries. I hope you do the same.
