Arr. Tohru Takahashi. Par GERSHWIN GEORGE. George Gershwin’s music combines musical styles heard in the United States at the beginning of this century such as jazz and blues, with aspects of European classical music. Gershwin’s breakthrough came in 1924 with Rhapsody in Blue. Following several versions of this piece Gershwin made what is probably the best known arrangement - for piano and symphony orchestra. Takahashi has created a further new and exciting version for wind orchestra. / Niveau : 5 / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

Of Scott Joplin James Scott and Joseph Lamb-The great ragtime pieces of the early 20th century were written mostly for Piano but many translate superbly for the Guitar and David Laibman will show you how.Here's a mystery: if the great ragtime pieces of the early 20th century were not written for Guitar and if they weren't player on the Guitar at all (until some of us started doing so half a century ago) then why do they work so will on Guitar?Well thumb vs. three fingers on the right hand (we'll leave out thepinky for now) creates that subtle antagonism between steady bass and syncopated melody - the 'twinkle in the eye' of Ragtime. There is a theory that the original borrowing actually went in the other directed from three-finger Banjo to Piano. Who knows? But I'm finding that the 'educated thumb' is only one neat thing about ragtime Guitar. Classic rags are very expressive with moods and tempers hills and valley. You can capture some of this with left-hand notes (slides hammer-ons pull-offs) with right-hand brushes rolls nail strokes with clever use of open strings and natural harmonics. This works. It is it's own story - not an imitation of a Piano or of a dixieland or jazz band. It is simply - ragtime Guitar.In these lessons I have tried for the most part to meet two goals. First to create versions of some of the most beautiful classical rags that 'lay down' well on Guitar so when you play them you are working with the instrument not fighting it. I have tried to pitch and arrange the pieces so that a lot of the action is in first position rather than high up on the neck and to keep left hand gymnastics to a minimum. Second I didn't want these arrangements to sound like 'student' arrangements too elementary to be believable. It is all about striking a balance. I am generally pleased with the result and I hope

For Fingerstyle Guitar. Par GROSSMAN STEFAN. Ragtime is in many ways the quintessential American music. It arrived at the turn of the last century with many transitions, notably the discovery of the means to record sound, and the determination of Afro-Americans of genius to be appreciated as artists. The music we call ragtime represents not only a moment of great anticipation (as the advent of jazz was on hand) but also of fulfillment. There are perhaps, 200 classic ragtime pieces that represent a corpus of extraordinary beauty - some of the most straightforward, melodious, and out and out joyful music that there ever was. In the early 1960?s guitar players started to tackle arranging this music. David Laibman and Dave Van Ronk were in the vanguard of this movement. Van Ronk?s arrangement of St. Louis Tickle became a rite of passage for fingerstyle guitarists. Laibman?s arrangements of Scott Joplin?s classic rags amazed and challenged the fingerpickers from coast to coast and across the Atlantic Ocean to Europe. By the 1970s other guitarists tried their skills playing ragtime. In the last fifty years this pursuit has carried on. This collection presents eight outstanding guitarists and their approaches to arranging and playing cake walks and classic rags. Tackling the material in this collection will greatly help your development and mastery of the fretboard and what Rev. Gary Davis called your six-string piano. Both your hands will get a complete aerobic workout! An audio download link is included with performances of each title. / Date parution : 2022-01-14/ Recueil / Guitare

Charlie Patton considered the ?Father of the Delta Blues ? is generally recognized as the most influential blues artist active in the first decades of the twentieth century. No single individual can be credited with ?inventing? the Delta blues style but Patton was one of the first mainstream stars of the Delta blues genre. Old fashioned and modern at the same time Patton's music bridged the musical traditions of the 19th century while simultaneously creating a framework of his own that would inspire just about every other blues musician from that point on. In this double DVD lesson Tom Feldmann gives you a note-for-note detailed lookat 18 of Patton's most celebrated tunes. Making this the definitive Charlie Patton lesson. DVD One is dedicated to songs in standard tuning covering C E A and F positions. You'll learn Patton's relaxed right hand strum top tapping technique and of course his signature licks as you work through songs like Down The Dirt Road Blues and Pony Blues. DVD Two focuses in Patton's bottleneck slide and non slide numbers in Spanish (Open G) and Vestapol (Open D) turnings. Songs like Banty Rooster Blues When Your Way Get's Dark and Screamin' and Hollerin' the Blues will become heavy hitters in your blues arsenal.A detailed tab/music booklet is included as a PDF file on both DVD's. In addition the original recordings of all the tunes are included.

The ragtime and early jazz music pioneers during the first decades of the last century didn???t know that the sounds they created would echo in the music that people loved for years to come. They started an American music traditionthat is alive to this day. I was born and raised in Sweden and I have always enjoyed the music from that era but being a Guitarist I never thought that playing back-up in a jazz band was for me. I???d rather do something with thesesongs so that they would fit my approach playing fingerstyle Guitar.Many of the early jazz songs and of course classical ragtime often is played as Piano music with a steady left hand playing bass notes and chords togetherwith the right hand playing a syncopated melody on top. This style of playing is very similar to the alternating bass style on the Guitar. So these tunes easily lend themselves to a fingerstyle arrangement.With classicalragtime I approach arranging by transcribing the original Piano sheet-music. The important thing is to find keys that suit the Guitar and then decide what notes not to play since it is not technically possible to play all thenotes in a Piano score on the Guitar. I like to play in keys that will give me the opportunity to use open strings in the bass while the melody moves up and down the neck. This is especially important since my aim is to make myarrangements not too difficult to play so that the player can concentrate on the music instead of being too concerned with the technical aspects of his/her playing. The most important challenge though is to make the tune soundlike Guitar music not Piano music played on the Guitar.
