Tuning the Guitar By Ear

L'utilisation des open tunings à la guitare pour accompagner le chant est l'un des sons de la marque Country Blues. Incontestablement, les deux open tunings qui ont été utilisés le plus couramment dans le pays Blues ont été tuning espagnol, souvent appelé Open G tuning et tuning Vestapol, assez souvent appelés open tuning D. Pour cette leçon 2-DVD, nous avons choisi le nom espagnol et Vestapol pour désigner ces tunings, parce que dans la pratique, tuning espagnol n'a pas toujours été à l'écoute exactement à une corde de G ouvert et tuning Vestapol n'a pas toujours été accordé à une corde ouverte D.Chacun de ces accordages représente sa propre sorte de son univers, mais ce qui est vraiment intéressant d'entendre sont les différentes approches que les différents acteurs ont les mêmes tunings et les différents sons qui en ont découlé. Dans chacun de ces tunings, vous allez rencontrer des joueurs dont l'approche était tellement mélodie tirée qu'il finit par sonner un peu comme la guitare slide jouée sans une diapositive, et à l'extrémité opposée du spectre, grande idée, suivant une corde arrangements sophistiqués. Nous avons délibérément choisi des chansons qui sont enseignés sur la leçon pour englober autant que le spectre sonore possible.Sur le disque 1, la leçon de tuning espagnol, nous commençons par présenter un aperçu de la mise au point, la façon dont il est mis en place, et où les positions d'accords fondamentaux nécessaires pour jouer Country Blues dans cet accord sont situés. Puis nous lançons dans le répertoire: interprétation sereine d'Elizabeth Cotten de l'hymne When I Get Home, garçons dansants de Mississippi John Hurt, vous êtes les bienvenus, hypnotique Construit droit de Teddy Darby sur le terrain, uptown Dice malchance de Clifford Gibson, de Mance Lipscomb ancien- Légende obsédante de sondage Willie Poor Boy et Kenny Baker de la Brakeman siffleur.Sur le disque 2, la leçon de tuning Vestapol, nous commençons par un aperçu de la qui donne le son de la mise au point, l'approche qui convient le mieux pour elle, et les positions en accords nécessaires pour jouer Country Blues en elle. Ensuite, nous allons à la chanson: instrumental Pas le temps de Tarheel Slim At All, Jimmy Lee Williams? Locomotive barattage Avez-vous Peaches jamais vu, Old Timbrook Blues de John Byrd, Memphis Willie B. 's étrange Brownsville Blues, Blind Boy Fuller conduite Little Woman Vous êtes si doux, et l'esprit-bender de Jesse Thomas autre ami comme moi.L'enseignement est offert avec le genre d'attention patiente au détail pour lequel les leçons de John Miller ont été acclamés, et tous les spectacles originaux des chansons sont inclus sur les disques, ainsi que des onglets et solfège et les paroles des chansons. Apprenez les chansons sur ces leçons et vous serez équipé non seulement de continuer à apprendre plus de chansons dans ces accordages sur votre propre, mais peut-être même de créer vos propres arrangements et des chansons dans les tunings. / Guitare

The Beginner Guitarist has been born out of 20 years of teaching experience. Although specifically designed as a teacher’s aid it can also be used for independent study.Topics like posture tuning andphrasing are not prescribed being left to the judgement of the teacher. With the exception of right and left-hand fingering advice this approach is used throughout the series. The entire series has the goal of being a measuredand progressive tutor. Ideas are usually introduced one at a time to avoid overloading the student.Book Two aims to build on solid right and left-hand techniques and covers further progress in notationrecognition. It begins with the introduction of quavers (eighth notes) and further focus on the free stroke (tirando). This is balanced with the need to keep the rest stroke (apoyando) solid by giving the pupil a chance to playboth melody and accompanying parts.Extensive exercises for finger 4 via chords and melody are included but the main aim is to complete the learning of the notes in first position taking in several scales and modes alongthe way. Simple open chords are also given further attention and the book concludes with coverage of chromaticism relating to the bottom three strings.A daily practice session for the completion of book two extrarepertoire and other helpful information are all available at www.thebeginnerguitarist.com.About the author: Nigel Tuffs is an instrumental teacher with more than 20 years of experience in all areas ofguitar teaching. Originally a member of several rock bands he completed an honours degree at the Colchester Institute specialising in composition and performance and has since worked extensively as a chamber musician in guitarensembles as an accompanist and also as an educator.

New compositions for solo classic guitar by acclaimed guitarist and composer David Pritchard. All solos are in standard notation. 'In addition to all the music I?ve written over the past twenty years for multiple acousticguitars I have on occasion felt inspired to write a smaller number of pieces for just one guitar. Exploring a meditative feel was my motivation for writing ?A Pale View ' 'A Silent Dream ' and 'Restoration.' 'A Silent Dream'can be played either as a solo piece or it can be enhanced by having another guitarist play the second part. 'Arundo' is basically a right hand study piece alternating between two patterns both in different meters while 'OrbWeaver' is primarily a Latin rhythm study with much syncopation alternating simply between two chords. 'Coryza' was written with the acoustic steel string in mind using DADGAD tuning.

Media Type : Book Level : Beginning-Intermediate Musical Genre : Classic Number of pages : 76 Traditionally the classic guitar has been either excluded or inadequately represented in orchestration textbooks, resulting in much misinformation about its technique, its practicality in various performance contexts, and its character. The guitar's unique tuning, broad timbral variety and intimate nature pose a formidable challenge to non-guitarist composers, for whom an extensive amount of time would be required to gain even a minimal hands-on acquaintance. For most composers this is an unrealistic expectation, leading to time-consuming consultations and extensive drafting or rewriting. The purpose of this book is to provide the non-guitarist composer with the fundamental tools needed to write idiomatically for the guitar. The first of its kind for the guitar, the reference was written in consultation with dozens of composers and conceived with three types of end users in mind: - Experienced composers with a concern for writing idiomatically for the guitar. - Guitarists who are commissioning a work from a composer who has never written for the instrument. - Libraries that wish to add this essential sourcebook to their music reference section. The very structure of the book reflects the composer's own intuition by addressing such questions as: - How is the guitar constructed? - What does successful guitar music look like? - How is the guitar played? - How does the guitarist interpret music and express emotion? - Which musical elements and gestures are most effective? - How do these elements combine to create an effective pacing of idioms? By examining the parameters of successfully written pieces, The Composer's Desk Reference for the Classic Guitar provides an expedient resource of ideas and illustrations contributing to the fluency of both first-time and seasoned guitar composers.
