The studies of Mauro Giuliani (1781-1829) stand alongside those of
Fernando Sor, Matteo Carcassi, Dionisio Aguado and Ferinando
Carulli as the staples of the didactic pieces by the "first
generation" of classical guitarists. Giuliani was one of the most
celebrated guitarists of his age, a brilliant performer and
prolific composer. He left a legacy of compositions, and many of
his works are heard regularly in recitals and concerts today. His
student pieces are considered indispensable by generations of
guitarists. The studies and exercises contained in the six opus
numbers here provide some of the most effective material in the
entire guitar literature for building and refining a superior
technical command of the guitar. In this edition, David Grimes has
modernized some of the notation and corrected a number of misprints
from Giuliani's original publications.

voice of the folk the open road, freedom, protest and rebellion,

decades it has become a quintessential American icon. Because this
musical instrument is significant to so many in ways that are
emotional, cultural, and economic guitar making has experienced a
renaissance in North America, both as a popular hobby and, for
some, a way of life.

(Book). This new version of Tony Bacon's Six Decades of the Fender
Telecaster shows how the world's first commercially successful
solidbody electric guitar still attracts musicians more than 60
years since its birth in California. Today, it is more popular than
ever and for many guitarists has overtaken the Stratocaster as the
Fender to own and play. The Tele is the longest-lived solidbody
electric, played by everyone from Muddy Waters to Keith Richards,
from Radiohead to Snow Patrol. Its sheer simplicity and versatility
are vividly illustrated here through interviews with Jeff Beck,
James Burton, Bill Kirchen, John 5, and more. The book is three
great volumes in one: a compendium of luscious pictures of the most
desirable Teles, a gripping story from the earliest days to the
latest exploits, and a detailed collector's guide to every Tele
ever made. Packed with pictures of great players, collectable
catalogs, period press ads, and cool memorabilia, The Telecaster
Guitar Book is the one Tele book that all guitar fans will want to
add to their collection.
Performed on an acoustic steel-string guitar with open tunings and
a finger-picking technique, Hawaiian slack key guitar music emerged
in the mid-nineteenth century. Though performed on a non-Hawaiian
instrument, it is widely considered to be an authentic Hawaiian
tradition grounded in Hawaiian aesthetics and cultural values. In
Listen But Don't Ask Question Kevin Fellezs listens to Kanaka Maoli
(Native Hawaiian) and non-Hawaiian slack key guitarists in Hawai'i,
California, and Japan, attentive to the ways in which notions of
Kanaka Maoli belonging and authenticity are negotiated and
articulated in all three locations. In Hawai'i, slack key guitar
functions as a sign of Kanaka Maoli cultural renewal, resilience,
and resistance in the face of appropriation and occupation, while
in Japan it nurtures a merged Japanese-Hawaiian artistic and
cultural sensibility. For diasporic Hawaiians in California, it
provides a way to claim Hawaiian identity. By demonstrating how
slack key guitar is a site for the articulation of Hawaiian values,
Fellezs illuminates how slack key guitarists are reconfiguring
notions of Hawaiian belonging, aesthetics, and politics throughout
the transPacific.
Technology and the Stylistic Evolution of the Jazz Bass traces the
stylistic evolution of jazz from the bass player's perspective.
Historical works to date have tended to pursue a 'top down'
reading, one that emphasizes the influence of the treble
instruments on the melodic and harmonic trajectory of jazz. This
book augments that reading by examining the music's development
from the bottom up. It re-contextualizes the bass and its role in
the evolution of jazz (and by extension popular music in general)
by situating it alongside emerging music technologies. The bass and
its technological mediation are shown to have driven changes in
jazz language and musical style, and even transformed creative
hierarchies in ways that have been largely overlooked. The book's
narrative is also informed by investigations into more commercial
musical styles such as blues and rock, in order to assess how, and
the degree to which, technological advances first deployed in these
areas gradually became incorporated into general jazz praxis.
Technology and the Jazz Bass reconciles technology more thoroughly
into jazz historiography by detailing and evaluating those that are
intrinsic to the instrument (including its eventual
electrification) and those extrinsic to it (most notably evolving
recording and digital technologies). The author illustrates how the
implementation of these technologies has transformed the role of
the bass in jazz, and with that, jazz music as an art form.
