This book speaks to the brand new musician, the seasoned player who has never bothered to read music and the pro who could use some problem­solving methods. Generously illustrated with examples, this soft cover book is clear and practical throughout. This two-hour DVD is a presentation of the 19-year project by Charles Postlewate on extending right hand technique for guitar to include the little finger. PART I presents this technique in actual repertoire, including standard guitar repertoire (by Barrios, Sor, Torroba and Villa-Lobos), new arrangements & transcriptions and original compositions. It features complete performances of twelve pieces recorded on Postlewate's Homage to Villa-Lobos CD. Each performance is introduced by Postlewate with explanations and demonstrations of how and where the little finger is used in the execution of scales, chords, arpeggios, tremolos and harmonics, with close-up shots of the right hand. PART II explains the training of the right hand in a five-finger technique, with demonstrations of the above techniques using sample studies from the different chapters of his book, Right-Hand Studies for Five Fingers. The video ends with an ENCORE interview of five questions and answers with Charles Postlewate to give some background information on this historic project. D'Addario EXP Extended Play Phosphor Bronze Acoustic guitar strings' wrap wire is coated before it's wound onto the hex core, resulting in a string that lasts 3-4 times longer than a regular string, but still retains the feel and sound of traditional strings! Unlike any other coated strings on the market!

An ultra-fine layer of our exclusive EXP Coating is bonded to the Phosphor Bronze wrap wire, which is then wound onto the hex-shaped core wire, resulting in a built-in barrier against corrosion and wear. EXP's sound bright and clear with "new string tone" that lasts 3-4 times longer than traditional strings. Have you ever wondered how guitarists like Joe Pass, Wes Montgomery and Jim Hall find such full, luscious voicings for their chord melody playing? Well, much of that sound is based on the "Drop 2" principle of chord voicings.

JAZZ GUITAR VOICINGS: THE DROP 2 BOOK by veteran guitarist Randy Vincent explains exactly how you can get that same sound too!

This book has sections that cover:

All the basic principals of drop 2 melody harmonization including passing tones and extension tones as well as basic chord tones.

Practical, guitar-friendly methods for creating hip, modern sounds by "tweaking" the basic drop voicings.

Clear methods for soloing and comping in drop 2, including melodic enclosures, special guitar-oriented chromatic effects, and a system of modal drop 2 harmony.

An organized practice routine, including fingerboard diagrams as well as standard notation, to fully develop all the concepts mentioned above in a hands-on approach, with a minimum of theory.

You will find that this book covers this essential material in a unique way unlike any other guitar book available today. An outstanding recording debut by British jazz guitarist Adrian Ingram. Already known internationally for his books and methods for jazz guitarists, this CD establishes Ingram as one of Europe's finest jazz guitarists. Titles are: 'Bernie's Tune', 'Time After Time', 'Green's Blues', 'God Bless The Child', 'Down At Pol's', 'Makin' Whoopee', 'Medley: Skylark/When You Wish Upon A Star', 'Stompin' At The Savoy', 'Angel Eyes', 'Lullaby Of The Leaves', 'Away Too Long', 'Days Of Wine And Roses', 'Medley: Moonlight In Vermont/What's New'. In 100 Tips For Blues Guitar You Should Have Been Told, David Mead focuses on the styles and techniques associated with one of the guitar's longest-surviving and most-played genres. In a series of illustrated exercises that work in combination with an accompanying CD, he tackles the problems associated with playing a form of music that stretches the harmonic boundaries of Western music tradition, covering subjects from choosing the right plectrum to executing the most accomplished finger roll this side of the Mississippi! Carlos Barbosa-Lima has been on a roll on his recordings for the Zoho label in the decade of the 2000s. Every effort has shown a different side of the expert Brazilian acoustic guitarist, and with Merengue, he's really stretching out in areas of the South and Latin American folkloric tradition. Playing solo for the bulk of this material, Barbosa-Lima employs sources ranging from his native land to Cuba, Venezuela, Colombia, and even Hawaii. The depth of this music is astounding considering the small size of instrumentation, even when he is not performing by himself. Of course the guitarist has always been a peerless musician, but here it shows even more so as he adopts these themes from a wide variety of composers, some well-known and others deserving much wider recognition worldwide.
