BACK-UP TRAX/ SWING & JAZZ FOR GUITAR, VIOLIN, MANDOLIN, BANJO, FLUTE, AND OTHER INSTRUMENTS IN C. CD TAB.

by Dix Bruce. Product Description:
With this book/CD package you'll learn melodies and practice soloing on 12 of the most popular and important chord progressions in the swing and jazz repertoire - cycle of fifths; major and minor progressions with II-V-I, I-VI-II-V-I, I-III-VI-II-V chord changes; major, minor, and 6/8 blues; and much more-- all based on favorite swing and jazz hits. Play along with a hot string rhythm section: featuring guitar, mandolin and bass with lead melodies played on tenor sax. Each melody appears in standard notation for C instruments, guitar tablature, and mandolin tablature. The recording features all of the tunes at slow and regular speeds. Melodies to the tunes are recorded at about one-half speed with only guitar accompaniment before each track with the full band. Instruments are isolated for maximum flexibility. By adjusting the balance control on your stereo you can hear 1) the full band; 2) guitar and bass only (you play the lead melody from the book); or 3) mandolin, melody, and bass only (you play rhythm).

GETTING INTO GYPSY JAZZ GUITAR. CD TAB.

Product Description:
This book focuses on the key elements of the Django Reinhardt Gypsy jazz or jazz Manouche guitar style. The information revealed here was gleaned from years of experience jamming with French Gypsies and studying with masters of the style. A native of France, Stephane Wrembel acquired his skills entirely by ear and has taught scores of musicians worldwide using the method that appears here in text and notation for the first time. Written in English, German and French with all musical examples in standard notation and tablature, Wrembel conveys his knowledge in a logical step by step manner, exposing the reader to the authentic Manouche style as it continues to evolve in France and Holland. Medium to advanced in difficulty, this method is designed for the guitarist who is already familiar with jazz harmony and note locations on the fretboard.

GYPSY SWING & HOT CLUB RHYTHM FOR GUITAR BY D. BRUCE. CD TAB.

Product Description:
Learn 12 great swing standards recorded by Django Reinhardt, Stephane Grappelli, and the Quintette of the Hot Club of France. Play along with a great Gypsy Swing Rhythm Section and learn chords, comping, and melodies, then let the band back you up as you practice chords and soloing. You play all the leads while the band backs you up. Beginners can practice basic skills while more advanced players can hone their improvisation chops, each at their own individual learning pace.

Includes standard notation, tablature, chord diagrams, lyrics, playing tips, and more. Each song is presented on the CD at slow and regular speed. First you'll hear the melody played at a slow speed with just guitar backup, then it's repeated at regular speed with the band. Split track mixing on the recording allows the student to hear just the melody (while reading along in the book) or just the rhythm section, or both for maximum flexibility and specific study. Finally the band plays several choruses and you play all the leads. Songs may be repeated, at slow or regular speed, as many times as you wish in order to perfect phrases, melodies and solos in a band context.

Includes special section on how to play rhythm back up chords and get that swing pulse on guitar. Potential for improvement is unlimited. Mandolin version also available. We'll jam all night long!

John Jorgenson is perhpas best known as a founding member of the Desert Rose Band, for his dazzling fretwork with the super guitar trio The Hellecasters, from his six-year stint as a member of Elton John's band, and his session work with a diverse range of artists including rock icons Elton John, Bob Dylan, Bonnie Raitt and Bob Seger, country legends Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Emmy Lou Harris and Hand Williams Jr., and international superstars like Barbara Streisand and Luciano Pavarotti. Even though he has made his living playing primarily rock, country, and pop music John's love for jazz and swing music dates back to his youth when his father, James, was conductiong for Benny Goodman. John, who idolized Goodman, actually got to play with his hero while his father led the way. As accomplished on clarinet as he is on guitar, Jorgenson's first swing recording After You've Gone was a tribute to both his heroes, Django Reinhardt and Benny Goodman. Released in 1985, John played Django style Gypsy jazz ont he first side of the LP and recreated the sound of the Benny Goodman Quintet, playing both Charlie Christian's electric guitar parts and Goodman's swinging clarinet style, on the other. His 2004 release Franco-American Swing, which primarily features John's original swing music, has received rave reviews. In the world of Gypsy jazz music, John Jorgenson has long been known as one of the true American masters of the Django Reinhardt guitar style. In 2003, when the musical director for John Duigan's film Head In The Clouds was looking for someone who could faithfully re-record two tracks from the Quintet of the Hot Club of France for use in the film Guitar Player Magazine's editor recommended Jorgenson. John not only transcribed and recorded the Hot Club's "Blue Drag" and "Minor Swing" for use in the film, he also played the role of Django Reinhardt in the movie. John has also performed with leading European Gypsy jazz artists Bireli Lagrene and Romane, appeared on recordings with Babik Reinhardt and Angelo Debarre, and has written many articles and lessons for national and international guitar magazines. Three guitar virtuosos: John Jorgenson, Jerry Donahue, and Will Ray - collaborated for a one-time-only performance which eventually grew into a 10-year partnership.

JORGENSON JOHN, INTERMEDIATE GYPSY JAZZ GUITAR. CD DVD 2-hour TAB.

Now that you have laid a foundation by completing the material in Intro to Gypsy Jazz Guitar, the second volume Intermediate Gypsy Jazz Guitar, also presented in the DVD/CD/Book format, continues by presenting you with characteristic Gypsy style licks and techniques that are based on the arpeggios and patterns taught in the first volume. Once again Jorgenson presents a very systematic learning method by first teaching simple licks and techniques and then gradually building to more complex material. In studying the left and right hand techniques and ornamentations presented in the second volume, the student will gain an understanding of how to play the guitar with the Gypsy "accent."

Jorgenson also begins the study of Django Reinhardt's playing here by teaching an improvised chorus that Django played on a recorded version of the song "Undecided." Two other songs, Raul Reynoso's "Waneta's Waltz" and Jorgenson's "Snowflake Waltz" are also studied.
