The musical appeal of the Blues, as they began to be heard in the early twentieth century, was so infectious that musicians with open minds and ears were drawn to it as soon as they heard it. And that appeal crossed the racial and ethnic divides that characterized American society. So it was, that even before African American guitarists were recorded playing fingerstyle blues guitar, their white neighbors had already begun learning the music?listening to, watching, and imitating the musicians whose music they so admired. And what these white musicians ended up expressing in their own playing and singing was not simply imitation, but their own reconfiguration of what their models did, played in accordance with their own senses of rhythm, phrasing and how to sing the music.In Hillbilly Fingerstyle Blues Guitar, author John Miller offers transcriptions, in tablature and standard notation, of twenty-eight pieces by these white fingerstyle blues players, taken from recordings made in the period 1926?1970. Some of the featured musicians in the book, like Sam McGee, Frank Hutchison, Maybelle Carter, Hobart Smith, and Roscoe Holcomb are pretty well known, but the tunes by more obscure players like Debs Mays, Lake Howard, or Lester McFarland certainly don?t suffer by comparison, and in many instances are spectacular. The pieces have been chosen for variety, too?you?ll encounter pieces played in C, E, and A in standard tuning, as well as songs in Open G, Open D tunings and an exotic offshoot of Open G tuning. Downloadable links to all of the original performances from which the transcriptions were made come with the book, so you can get the sound of the tunes in your head. The musicians in Hillbilly Fingerstyle Blues Guitar gravitated towards the Blues because the music spoke to them so strongly that they felt compelled to make it part of their own musical language. And they did just that. These performances are strong and worthwhile in their own right, but they?ll also show you how you can honor those who have inspired you by singing and playing in your own voice. And that?s an important lesson to learn. Includes access to online audio.

John Jackson grew up in rural Virginia listening to the older musicians around him and the blues stars whose records he heard on his family's wind-up phonograph. For a while in his youth he played at country dances but mostly he just picked the guitar and banjo for his own amusement and his tastes ranged from the Piedmont blues of Blind Blake Josh White and Blind Boy Fuller to the hillbilly yodels of Jimmie Rodgers and an old-time banjo style that reached back to the 19th century.?I can play most anything I put my mind to if I want to ? he would say with a big smile. ?Blues mountain hoedowns dance tunes... I don't get into soul or disco or rap music or nothing likethat but I ain't got anything against it; it just didn't come along when I did.?Jackson always seemed supremely relaxed and easy-going but under his friendly country manner he was an indefatigable worker. He recalled a time when musicians would walk twenty miles over dirt roads to get to a house party play till the wee hours of the morning then walk home and put in a full day on the farm and he kept numerous jobs most famously as a grave digger into his seventies. He was just as dedicated onstage an all-around entertainer who mixed his songs with jokes and stories and tried to give his audiences a sense not only of the music he loved but of the world that had produced it.That world is long gone but it lives on in the loping rhythms of Jackson's intricate guitar picking and the mellow flow of his honey-slow Virginia drawl. This is old-time back-porch country music played by a man who always seemed like he was just kicking back and enjoying himself with some friends but put all he had into every note.

Series: Stefan Grossman’s Early Masters of American Blues Guitar Category: Guitar Method or Supplement Format: Book & CD Instrument: Guitar The Early Masters of American Blues series provides the unique opportunity to study the true roots of modern blues. Stefan Grossman, noted roots-blues guitarist and musicologist, has compiled this fascinating collection of 16 songs, transcribed exactly as performed by legendary blues master Lonnie Johnson. In addition to Stefan's expert transcriptions, the book includes a CD containing the original recordings of Lonnie Johnson so you can hear the music as he performed it. One of the most influential blues artists of the 20th century, Lonnie Johnson began his 50-year music career in the early 1920s, and continued to perform and record until his passing in 1970. Recording both as a soloist and with legends like Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, and Eddie Lang, Lonnie Johnson's influence can still be heard today, from the work of blues guitar greats like T-Bone Walker and B.B. King, to a whole new generation of blues players.

A près de vingt ans de son premier essai pour Quatuor à cordes (Cinq Séquences, en 1963), Maurice Ohana retourne à ce genre difficile, pour lequel il a gardé une secrète prédilection au long de ces années d'apparent éloignement (avec l'exception de Stream pour trio à cordes et voix de basse, composé en 1970).Une commande du Ministre de la Culture en 1977 (c'était, à l'époque, Madame Françoise Giroud), lui fournit le prétexte. L'oeuvre sera écrite entre 1979 et 1980. Une fois encore, Maurice Ohana cherche à échapper au trop grand sérieux que la plupart des compositeurs croient devoir observer en traitant l'assemblage des quatre instruments du quatuor. Les sous-titres, déjà, annoncent une oeuvre d'imagination plutôt que d'écriture ou de recherche: Sagittaire, Mood, Alborada, Faran-Ngô.On perçoit, ici et là, une guitare voilée, des rythmes qui font penser à une mystérieuse 'Nuit dans Grenade', plus tragique peut-être que la 'Soirée' de Claude Debussy.Sagittaire, après un appel initial, enchaîne des rythmes martelés et obsédants.Dans Mood, les réminiscences d'un Negro Spiritual semblent affleurer, comme dans d'autres ouvrages du compositeur où les Blues de sa jeunesse ont laissé un écho persistant.Alborada déploie le prisme d'harmonies lumineuses pulvérisées dans une brume sonore onirique. Faran-Ngô (composée de Farruca et Fandango) enfin est une fête nocturne aux guitares lointaines. / Quatuor A Cordes
