Adam Granger self-published the first edition of Grangerâ??s Fiddle Tunes for Guitar in 1979. A second edition was published in 1994. Now Mel Bay Publications presents the third edition of the book.
This 236-page book is the most extensive and best-documented collection of fiddle tunes for the flatpicking guitar player in existence, and includes reels, hoedowns, hornpipes, rags, breakdowns, jigs and slip-jigs, presented in Southern, Northern, Irish, Canadian, Texas and Old-time styles.
There are 508 fiddle tunes referenced under 2500 titles and alternate titles. The titles are fully indexed, making the book doubly valuable as a reference book and a source book.
In this new edition, all tunes are typeset, instead of being handwritten as they were in the previous editions, making the tabs easier to read.
The tunes in Grangerâ??s Fiddle Tunes for Guitar are presented in Easytab, a streamlined tablature notation system designed by Adam specifically for fiddle tunes.
The book comes with a link which gives access to mp3 recordings by Adam of all 508 tunes, each played once at a moderate tempo, with rhythm on one channel and lead on the other.
Also included in Grangerâ??s Fiddle Tunes for Guitar are instructions for reading Easytab, descriptions of tune types presented in the book, and primers on traditional flatpicking and rhythm guitar. Additionally, there are sections on timing, ornamentation, technique, and fingering, as well as information on tune sources and a history of the collection.
Mel Bay also offers The Granger Collection, by Bill Nicholson, the same 508 tunes in standard music notation.

This Bass method differs from others since it is entirely based on practice. You will not find riffs or licks of one or two lines, but rather full pieces in the style of some of the greatest bluesmen - Otis Rush, BB King, Eric Clapton, Freddie King,Buddy Guy, Albert King, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Magic Sam and more. Before addressing the 50 Bass lines in this method, a preliminary chapter will teach you how to build lines in the blues style. In doing so, you will be able to analyse what you areplaying later, before learning to create your own. You'll also be introduced to structure, rhythm, arpeggios, scales, chromatic approaches and more. The included DVD allows you to listen to all of the featured Bass lines played at normal speed, thenat a reduced speed, in order to learn the right gestures. The MP3 CD contains backing tracks for you to play along to, at two different speeds: the first being normal (the speed to be achieved), while the second is reduced to help with study. Intotal, over seven hours of music is included, giving you the opportunity to practice in the best possible conditions.

The creation that would become Gibson's Les Paul guitar hit retail stores in 1952. This was Gibson's introduction to the solid body world of electric guitrs. In the early 1950s, demand for electric guitars was reaching a new customer base. Rock 'n' roll was just around the corner and ready to explode. The timing was right and Gibson took off with this idea and introduced other guitars to the Les Paul lineup. However, the new single cutaway Goldtop Les Paul Model spawned many changes in its six years of production. The wrap around and tune-o-matic bridge along with the humbucking pickup were Gibson firsts in the 1950s and still used to this day on their guitars. Early performers such as Les Paul, Freddie King, Carl Perkins and BB King can be seen in this book as early pioneers playing this model. Later years would bring a new barrage of guitarists such as David Gilmour, Paul McCartney, Les Dudek, Jeff Lynne, Danny Kirwan, Steve Hackett, Clem Clempson, Dickey Betts and more to the Les Paul Goldtop. This beautiful hardcover book tells the whole story complete with tons of full-color photos on every page.

Quest'opera presenta una serie di ritmi, grooves, fills o breaks di batteria negli stili Blues e Shuffle. La prima parte del metodo si concentra sui brani blues in 4/4, assai rapidi, che spaziano dal Rhythm 'n' Blues allo Shuffle passando per il Blues tradizionale od il Blues Rock. La seconda parte invece affronta i blues lenti in 12/8, i quali richiedono precisione e concentrazione. Si suona laid-back, cioè dietro al tempo. In breve si tratta di un ampio panel di grooves alla maniera dei batteristi che accompagnano i più grandi artisti di questo stile: Buddy Guy, B.B. King, ZZ Top, Eric Clapton, Freddie King, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Albert King, Magic Sam… Per ogni brano, troverete 5registrazioni diverse sul CD MP3 allegato, distribuite nel modo seguente: la batteria da sola, a velocit normale poi ridotta, la stessa parte di batteria suonata però sulla sua base musicale ed infine la sola base musicale, prima a velocit normale, poi ridotta... per permettere ad ognuno d’imparare e di suonare secondo il proprio ritmo, il proprio livello e le proprie capacit . Ossia quasi 4 ore di musica in tutto!
