One of the finest books available on jazz guitar chords. Joe covers
all the bases with two sections on chord forms and chord passages.
Chords are divided into six categories: Major, Seventh, Augmented,
Minor, Diminished, and Minor Seventh Flat Fifth, each showing
substitutions and inversions that Joe would play when confronted
with "basic" chord symbols. The chord passage section is divided
into nine categories, including such topics as Major Sounds,
Diminished Sounds, Augmented Sounds, Standard Patter Chord
Substitutions, and other chord progression - related topics.
We are living in an emerging technoculture. Machines and gadgets
not only weave the fabric of daily life, but more importantly
embody philosophical and religious values which shape the
contemporary moral vision-a vision that is often at odds with
Christian convictions. This book critically examines those values,
and offers a framework for how Christian moral theology should be
formed and lived-out within the emerging technoculture. Brent
Waters argues that technology represents the principal cultural
background against which contemporary Christian moral life is
formed. Addressing contemporary ethical and religious issues, this
book will be of particular interest to students and scholars
exploring the ideas of Heidegger, Nietzsche, Grant, Arendt, and
Borgmann.

“A hot-rod joy ride through mid-20th-century American history”
(The New York Times Book Review), this one-of-a-kind narrative
masterfully recreates the rivalry between the two men who innovated
the electric guitar’s amplified sound—Leo Fender and Les
Paul—and their intense competition to convince rock stars like
the Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, and Eric Clapton to play the instruments
they built. In the years after World War II, music was evolving
from big-band jazz into rock ’n’ roll—and these louder styles
demanded revolutionary instruments. When Leo Fender’s tiny firm
marketed the first solid-body electric guitar, the Esquire,
musicians immediately saw its appeal. Not to be out-maneuvered,
Gibson, the largest guitar manufacturer, raced to build a
competitive product. The company designed an “axe” that would
make Fender’s Esquire look cheap and convinced Les Paul—whose
endorsement Leo Fender had sought—to put his name on it. Thus was
born the guitar world’s most heated rivalry: Gibson versus
Fender, Les versus Leo. While Fender was a quiet, half-blind,
self-taught radio repairman, Paul was a brilliant but headstrong
pop star and guitarist who spent years toying with new musical
technologies. Their contest turned into an arms race as the most
inventive musicians of the 1950s and 1960s—including bluesman
Muddy Waters, rocker Buddy Holly, the Beatles, Bob Dylan, and Eric
Clapton—adopted one maker’s guitar or another. By 1969 it was
clear that these new electric instruments had launched music into a
radical new age, empowering artists with a vibrancy and volume
never before attainable. In “an excellent dual portrait” (The
Wall Street Journal), Ian S. Port tells the full story in The Birth
of Loud, offering “spot-on human characterizations, and erotic
paeans to the bodies of guitars” (The Atlantic). “The story of
these instruments is the story of America in the postwar era: loud,
cocky, brash, aggressively new” (The Washington Post).
(Guitar Method). Here's your complete guide to learning flamenco
guitar This method uses traditional Spanish flamenco song forms and
classical pieces to teach you the basics of this style and
technique. You'll learn to play in the style of Paco de Lucia,
Sabicas, Nino Ricardo and Ramon Montoya. Lessons cover: strumming,
picking and percussive techniques; arpeggios; improvisation;
fingernail tips; capos; and much more. Includes flamenco history
and a glossary, and both standard notation and tab. The CD features
58 tracks for demonstration and play-along.
(Guitar Reference). Until the launch of the Flying V and Explorer
in 1958, electric guitars were supposed to look like...guitars.
Suddenly, Gibson turned conventional design upside down, almost
literally, by using straight lines and angular body shapes,
changing the way electrics could look and, in the process, creating
a set of rare future collectables. Flying V, Explorer, Firebird
tells the story of those first peculiar instruments and goes on to
describe Gibson's second attempt at nonstandard designs with the
Firebird of the early '60s. The book shows how most of these were a
commercial failure at first and goes on to detail the influence of
the designs on guitar-makers such as Hamer, Jackson, Dean, Ibanez,
and BC Rich, all of whom embraced Gibson's original weird-is-good
design ethic. In parallel with the story of the makers is an
absorbing account of the players who discovered these odd-shaped
instruments, including Zakk Wylde (Black Label Society), Edge (U2),
and Rick Nielsen (Cheap Trick). Interviews with players and makers
illuminate the story of this fascinating assortment of electric
guitar innovations, alongside specially commissioned images of
every key model and brand and an enviable collection of guitar
memorabilia, plus a gallery of leading guitarists photographed in
action with their instruments. If it's weird and has strings, it's
in Flying V, Explorer, Firebird .
In The New Guitarscape, Kevin Dawe argues for a re-assessment of
guitar studies in the light of more recent musical, social,
cultural and technological developments that have taken place
around the instrument. The author considers that a detailed study
of the guitar in both contemporary and cross-cultural perspectives
is now absolutely essential and that such a study must also include
discussion of a wide range of theoretical issues, literature,
musical cultures and technologies as they come to bear upon the
instrument. Dawe presents a synthesis of previous work on the
guitar, but also expands the terms by which the guitar might be
studied. Moreover, in order to understand the properties and
potential of the guitar as an agent of music, culture and society,
the author draws from studies in science and technology, design
theory, material culture, cognition, sensual culture, gender and
sexuality, power and agency, ethnography (real and virtual) and
globalization. Dawe presents the guitar as an instrument of
scientific investigation and part of the technology of
globalization, created and disseminated through corporate culture
and cottage industry, held close to the body but taken away from
the body in cyberspace, and involved in an enormous variety of
cultural interactions and political exchanges in many different
contexts around the world. In an effort to understand the
significance and meaning of the guitar in the lives of those who
may be seen to be closest to it, as well as providing a
critically-informed discussion of various approaches to guitar
performance, technologies and techniques, the book includes
discussion of the work of a wide range of guitarists, including
Robert Fripp, Kamala Shankar, Newton Faulkner, Lionel Loueke,
Sharon Isbin, Steve Vai, Bob Brozman, Kaki King, Fred Frith, John
5, Jennifer Batten, Guthrie Govan, Dominic Frasca, I Wayan Balawan,
Vicki Genfan and Hasan Cihat A-rter.
