Joseph Passalaqua era nato a New Brunswick nel New Jersey (13 gennaio 1929 - 23 Maggio 1994)  figlio di Mariano Passalaqua, operaio siderurgico nato a Gualtieri Sicaminò in sicilia, crebbe a Johnstown in PennsylvaniaNato in una famiglia non musicali, Pass ha iniziato a suonare la chitarra dopo essere stato ispirato dall'attore Gene Autry, che  vestito da cow-boy suonava la chitarra in un film. Il Padre di Pass ha riconosciuto presto che suo figlio era interessato alla musica e lo ha spinto sempre a suonare brani a orecchio, a non suonare pezzi scritti appositamente per lo strumento, a studiare le scale e a non "lasciare spazi vuoti" - riempire tutto lo spazio sonoro tra le note della melodia e gli accordiDopo essersi trasferito a York City, Joe cade vittima della droga, e trascorre gran parte del 1950 in una relativa oscurità. Pass riuscito ad emergere attraverso un soggiorno al Synanon, un programma di riabilitazione. Durante quel periodo ha suonato la chitarra e affinanto le sue capacità. Poi suonerà con Frank Sinatra, Duke Ellington, Dizzy Gillespie, Ella Fitzgerald, Count Basie e molti altri.

In the music of Joe Pass we see the culmination and perfection of all that preceded him. This gentle giant of Jazz guitar defined the spirit of the music and he did it with grace and style. In this book, Joe explains his musical and guitaristic approch to the easily over - complicated process of Jazz improvisation. The book includes 50 musical examples and 3 complete transcriptions; all of which are contained on the included CD. All the music is written in standard notation and Tablature.

Example pulls together all the principles we have been working on thus far and takes a few steps further in this study on improvising over a static mai7 chord. Check out these points of importance for study:

1. Look into the use of pure diatonic lines and what makes them tick. What chord tones do they begin and end on? What is the shape and range of the line? Finally, how is scalewise movement balanced with skips?

2. Pay close attention to non-diatonic notes. Are they used as ascending/descending passing tones? Do they accent a chord-tone only? Or are they used in the context of a substitution of V7 altered over Cmai7 as discussed? Telltale signs would be the rhythmic placement of the substitution in the bar and especially how the tension is built and released (resolved) to specific chord tones. As you will notice, these lines commonly resolve to the 5th (G) of the Cmail chord.

3. The bracketed or circled notes and phrases will assist you in understanding their harmonic purpose in the line. I stands for Cmai7 while V7 stands for G7 (altered). For example, ''I 3" refers to E, the 3rd of the Cmai7 chord, while "V7:b9" refers to Ab, the b9 of the G7 chord.

CATEGORY: Instrumental Series
FORMAT: Book & CD
INSTRUMENT: Guitar

 

The music selected for Alfred MasterTracks is intended to provide a broad range of improvisational material for soloists of all skill levels. An improviser needs to feel comfortable in a variety of musical settings, so we have designed a series that addresses a number of different styles, tempos, and keys. Therefore, this book will also serve as a very up-to-date listening reference for many popular Jazz, Latin, and Fusion grooves. In undertaking this project, we decided that we would try to appeal to a wide variety of musicians, from the most raw, beginning improviser all the way to the most advanced improviser. As a result, we have provided charts that indicate a basic structure of harmony and rhythm, plus some very basic melodies for beginning improvisers to play around with, since one good starting point for improvisation is the melody. (These melodies are not recorded on the tracks, however.) More advanced players may want to disregard these melodies completely and dig into blowing over the tracks, worki ng on whatever materials they are currently practicing. It is beyond the scope of this book to present a complete manual for improvisation. Rather, we chose to present some varied harmonic and rhythmic situations that would allow improvisers to practice their craft.

 

 

HOW TO USE MASTERTRACKS

After we recorded Essential Styles, Books 1 & 2 (a play-along series for bass and drums), many players said that they would've enjoyed a similar series for other instruments. With that idea in mind, Alfred MasterTracks was born, completely devoted to being a contemporary instrumental play-along for all instruments, not a bass/drum method. These tracks, rather than being designed as a cross section of styles, are more of a collection of varied harmonic and rhythmic situations that melodic improvisers will encounter. For example, in the jazz book, you will find three different versions of the blues. They are obviously the same form and general style, but in different keys and at various tempos in order to provide a more thorough blues "workout." All of the selections in the Alfred MasterTracks Series were professionally recorded and mixed at Chick Corea's Mad Hatter Studios and are of the highest quality. Piano and bass players will be interested to note that the recording is mixed with the piano on the right channel and the bass on the left, so that either of these two rhythm section players can dial out their respective instruments and play accompaniment parts along with the tracks, in addition to soloing with them. Although it is true that the term "improvisation" is foreboding for some young musicians, the selections in these texts have been structured with easy melodic lines which can be used as a point of departure for even the most inexperienced improvisers. The idea here is to have some good-sounding tracks to play along with, and to have some fun! So, without becoming completely encumbered with a lot of intellectual baggage regarding improvisation, young players might simply put on the CD or cassette and start trying to play along by ear. Or they might read the simple melodies that have been provided as a means of gaining some understanding of the form and harmonic content, and proceed from there. By playing portions of the melodies, and then embellishing them slightly, young players will soon find themselves creating their own melodies using the given material as the springboard. Some of the tracks are played in such a way that the harmonies are not extremely complex; altered chords and polyrhythms in the comping have been minimized. On other tracks, these elements are more fully utilized, creating a nice range of intensity levels. The idea is that, while there is an abundance of material here for beginning improvisers, there is also plenty to challenge advanced players. So, have fun with these tracks. We hope they will be a valuable tool in your quest for musical excellence.

“PRACTICE DOES NOT MAKE PERFECT.

PERFECT PRACTICE MAKES PERRFECT”

Welcome to the second installment of the repertoire supplements to Pumping Nylon. As the subtitle indicates, these pieces are more advanced than the repertoire in the previous installment. They are primarily concert pieces instead of the shorter, more pedagogical etudes presented in the wy to EarLy Intermediate book. Therefore, the pieces tend to be longer and much more substantial. Consider this book to be a brief representation of the types of pieces that contain specific technique-building elements (such as concentrated scales, left-hand slurs, arpeggios, tremolo and the like). When practiced correctly and with the proper intent, they will aid in developing your guitar-playing skills. In our continuing quest to serve you something new and tasty to consume, we have made an effort to put some newer pieces on your plate. We hope to not only help you enjoy significant progress, but to also open your eyes and ears to new, delightful concert pieces to perform for the enjoyment of others. A "checklist" of specific issues upon which to focus-such as technical and/or musical challenges, fingering and practicing tips-precedes each piece. If taken to heart, these pieces should be of great benefit to you. As always, it is a good idea to check your progress with a teacher when problems arise, as there is no ideal substitute for expert advice. As in Pumping Nylon, I encourage you to take the ideas presented in each piece and expand on them yourself. Find other pieces that will further help you overcome any obstacles. You have what it takes to play anything, and with some mindful practice, you will!

He is recording the complete solo guitar works of Joaquin Rodrigo for GHA records, including the concertos with Leo Brouwer conducting the Cordoba Symphony Orchestra. His debut solo release for Delos, "Wild Mountain Thyme," is a recording of Celtic music for the classical guitar. Born in Detroit in 1962, Scott began playing the guitar at six years of age. During his junior high and high school years, he studied classical guitar with Lee Dyament and Joe Fava. Also while growing up in Detroit, he began taking flamenco lessons with Juan Serrano. When Maestro Serrano moved to California, Scott replaced him as the accompanist for the Maria del Carmen Dance Company. He also played the bass trombone in his high school concert band and the violin in the school orchestra. Scott moved to Los Angeles in 1980 to attend the University of Southern California, where he studied with Pepe Romero and James Smith. It was during this time that the Los Angeles Guitar Quartet was formed (then the U.S.C. Guitar Quartet), and he has been touring and recording with the group ever since. As a student there, he performed in the master classes of such luminaries as Joaquin Rodrigo and Andres Segovia. He now teaches as a member of the faculty at U.S.C. The Quartet can be heard on their recordings for GHA, Delos and Sony Classical.

There is a compact disc available for this book. It includes performances of all the pieces by Scott Tennant except Rasgueado Exercise in Solea and Alzapua and Thumb Study in Solea, which are performed by Adam del Monte. Use it to help insure that you are interpreting the rhythms correctly and capturing the style of each work. The symbol above will appear to the left of each piece. The track numbers below the symbols correspond to the piece you want to hear. Enjoy!

MISSISSIPPI JOHN HURT STEFAN GROSSMAN'S EARLY MASTERS OF AMERICAN BLUES GUITAR 2CD TABLATURE

MISSISSIPPI JOHN HURT, STEFAN GROSSMAN'S EARLY MASTERS OF AMERICAN BLUES GUITAR. 2CD TABLATURE

26 titoli di blues acustico. 2CD TABLATURE, Curato e trascritto da Stefan Grossman. 

 I libri della serie "I primi maestri americani della chitarra Blues" offrono l'opportunità unica di studiare le vere radici del blues moderno. Stefan Grossman, noto chitarrista e musicologo, ha compilato questa affascinante collezione di 26 canzoni del leggendario chitarrista Blues Mississippi John Hurt. Oltre alle esperte trascrizioni di Stefan, il libro include un CD contenente le registrazioni originali di John Hurt, in modo da poter sentire la musica come era originariamente eseguita. Mississippi John Hurt ha avuto una carriera affascinante, in origine registrò una manciata di canzoni alla fine del 1920, e dopo essere stato dimenticato per quasi 30 anni, fu riscoperto da una nuova generazione di musicisti che comprendeva Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, e Stephen Sills. Ritrovato nel 1963, mentre viveva in una piccola città del Mississippi, da un ammiratore che lo ha rintracciato attraverso i testi del suo singolo "Avalon Blues" del 1928, Mississippi John Hurt è stato convinto ad andare a Washington, DC e iniziare una nuova carriera. E ha trascorso i successivi tre anni suonando e registrando. Oltre a trascrivere tutte le canzoni di questa raccolta, Stefan Grossman è stato anche allievo di John Hurt.

INTRODUCTION by Stefan Grossman
This collection has been a pleasure to put together. I first
heard the records of Mississippi John Hurt when I was
15years old. He had recorded 20 sides for the OKeh
record company in 1928of which 12 had been released.
During the folk revival ofthe 1960s,reissue albums began
to appear and many old blues recordings found their way
to the grooves of LPs. John Hurt's arrangements for "Spike
Driver Blues," "Frankie," "Stagolee," "Nobody's Dirty
Business," Candyman," "Louis Collins," and "Got the Blues
Can't Be Satisfied" became necessary ingredients to any
young fingerpicker's repertoire.
John Hurt's old recordings had a magnetic atmosphere
and a strong lyrical contents that made them attractive
to both players and listeners. His guitar style was easily
recognizable. The alternating bass pattern evoked the
piano sounds of turn-of-the-century America and against
this a melody line was interweaved. The same approach
was explored during the mid-1950s by White guitarists
such as Merle Travis and Chet Atkins. By the 1960s,this
guitar technique was completely embraced by folksingers
as far afield as Bob Dylan, Dave Van Ronk, and Stephen
Stills to Joan Baez.
Then in 1963,miracle of miracles occurred when Tom
Hoskin decided to try to locate the "legendary" Mississippi
John Hurt. John had recorded a song during his 1928
sessions titled "Avalon Blues." The current maps of
Mississippi did not show a town called Avalon, but in an
1878atlas, Avalon was shown as a small dot between
Greenwood and Grenada, Mississippi. Tom headed south
from Washington, D.C.and two days later pulled into
Stinson's store, an old combination gas station, general
store, and post office, which, with the owner's house,
comprised the entirety of Avalon. Tom asked several men
if they had ever heard or knew about a singer called
Mississippi John Hurt and was amazed when the pointed
down the dirt road and said, "'bout a mile down that road,
third mail box up the hill. Can't miss it."
Tom brought John up to Washington, D.C.to record and
perform and almost immediately Mississippi John Hurt was
a hit on the folk music scene. He performed at folk clubs,
The Newport Folk Festival, college campuses, and even the
Johnny Carson Tonight Show!
I met Mississippi John at his first concert in New York City.
Tom was a friend of mine and the chance to hear, as well
as meet, Mississippi John Hurt was almost too much for
me to imagine. The concert presented John and Doc Boggs
(another folk legend, but in this case in the story of white
five-string mountain banjo playing). After the concert, I
went backstage to say hellos and Tom insisted that I play
guitar for John and Doc. I picked a few of John's tunes that
I had transcribed from his 1928recordings. John started to
dance while Doc laughed and banged out time on his banjo
skin. This began my friendship with John Hurt that lasted
until his death.
Mississippi John Hurt was a wonderful teacher. He
patiently showed me his arrangements and licks as well
as giving me insight into life itself. John Hurt was a unique
man. He had a gentleness that could penetrate walls and
a voice that could relax your soul while your feet danced
to his guitar rhythms.
This collection brings together 26 great songs and
guitar arrangements. All the keys that John played in are
presented. On first listening, John Hurt's playing seems
deceptively easy, but to master his sound is quite a
challenge. He used three fingers to play. His ring and little
finger rested on the face of the guitar while he picked.
The source of John's unique sound can be found in his
thumb strokes. Basically, an alternating bass is used
throughout John's playing. The sound that is produced
can be described as "bum-chick." The first beat hits the
bass note with commitment but the second beat hits the
string hard enough to have the other strings vibrate. As a
result, a "chick" is created. This is fundamental to John's
style. The bass can stand by itself without any melody
lines and still sound musical. When the treble lines
are added, these act almost as embellishments. The
"John Hurt sound" is all in yourthumb.
Fortunately, there is some footage of John that comes
from Pete Seeger's Rainbow Quest. Seeing John play

MISSISSIPPI JOHN HURT by Jas Obrecht
Songster and bluesman, John Hurt had a beautifully
syncopated fingerpicking style and a gentle, guileless
voice. After making a handful of 78s, he faded from view
during the Depression and then arose phoenix-like during
the 1960s.Throughout his career, his music provided an
aural passport to a bygone age of cakewalks and rags,
parables and polite society.
Hurt was 35 years old when he journeyed alone from the
Mississippi hill country to Memphis for his first session.
It was Valentine's Day, 1928,and the experience was not
entirely pleasant: "A great big hall with only Mr. Rockwell,
one engineer, and myself," John remembered. "I sat on
a chair and they pushed the microphone right up close
to my mouth and told me not to move after they found the
right position. Oh, I was nervous, and my neck was sore for
days after." Eight songs were cut that day, but only a single
OKeh 78 was issued-"Nobody's Dirty Business" backed
by "Frankie," one of his few songs in open tuning. Hurt was
paid about $20 per song, a good fee for unproven talent.
The original note on Columbia's file cards for the matrixes"
old time music"-was later changed to "race."
Hurt headed home and worked another season; under his
sharecropping arrangement atthe time, half of the corn
and cotton he grew on 13 acres was turned over to the land
owner. In November, IJ. Rockwell wrote Hurt inviting him to
record again. John's December 21st session in New York City
produced usable version of "Ain't No Tellin'" (essentially new
words set to the "Make Me Pallet On the Floor" melody),
the murder ballad "Louis Collins," and "Avalon Blues." On
December 28, 1928,Hurt was back in the studio for his final
and most fruitful prewar session, cutting three spirituals
and five blues. Of all Hurt's prewar sides, the one he
composed his first day in New York, "Avalon Blues,"
proved to be the most important. Nearly four decades
after its release, it would lead to his rediscovery:
"Avalon my home town,
always on my mind,
Avalon my home town,
always on my mind,
Pretty mama's in Avalon,
want me there all the time"
During the 1920s,when its population was less than a
hundred, Avalon, Mississippi was little more than a
ramshackle rail settlement between Greenwood and
Grenada. Born in nearby Teoc on July 3, 1893,John Smith
Hurt spent most of his life living there in poverty. He had
seven older brothers and two sisters. He made it through
the fifth grade at St. James School, and around this time
began teaching himself guitar. "I always tried to make my
strings say just what I say," he'd explain. "I grab it and go
my way with it. Use my melody with it." By age 12,John
was singing "Good Mornin' Miss Carrie," "Satisfied,"
Frankie and Johnny," and other non-blues songs at house
parties, sometimes working with a fiddler. His gentle voice,
relaxed feel, and light, idiosyncratic fingerpicking made
his music far better suited for front-porch listening than
cornfield stomps. Some nights, he remembered, he and a
pal would awaken the neighbors with their playing. "We go
along to people's private homes, way in the night, midnight,
one o'clock. 'Serenadin" we call it. We knew you well, we
tip up on the porch and we'd wake you up with music. Well,
you might lay there and listen, you might not get up and ask
us in. Sometimes you'd get up and say come on in."
Once, when he was asked about the first blues he'd learned,
Hurt played "Lazy Blues," a simple, original arrangement
in E major that had more in common with Memphis players
than Delta musicians such as Robert Johnson:
"Wake up in the morning, a towel tied round her head,
When you speak to her, she swear she almost dead"
During "Talking Casey," Hurt used a slide to imitate bells
and quote familiar melodies-a technique similar to Blind
Willie McTell in Atlanta-while thumbing train rhythms on
his bass strings. He composed in many keys-E, A, 0, and
G,which was especially convenient for a strong alternating
bass-but unlike many Delta musicians seemed to prefer C.
Much of his music was probably a souvenir of his childhood.
Asked by a white landlord how he created melodies,
Hurt responded, "Well, sir, I just make it sound like I think it
ought to."
After his father passed away, John helped his mother
raise cotton, corn, and potatoes. To make ends meet, he
sometimes hired himself out to a neighboring farm, while
his mother washed clothes and cooked. During 1915,Hurt
worked for the Illinois Central jacking up and leveling...

HOW TO USE THIS BOOK
Since this book explores a wide variety of blues styles and improvisational ideas, it is not absolutely necessary that you proceed chapter by chapter. However, the book has been organized in a way that progressively adds new terms and information in each chapter. Don't assume you know everything about a subject, even if it's one of your strengths. Everyone approaches the blues from a different perspective, so if one new concept that you learn from this book helps your playing, it's worth it. No book can make you a better player. You have to go out and play to improve. A book can provide new vocabulary that can be added to your musical repertoire. Whether you play informally or professionally, try immediately plugging examples you like into your playing. For the single-note examples, experiment with different phrasing, add your own notes to extend a lick or play the same lick on different string sets. The musical definition section at the beginning of this book should be used as a glossary. Look up any terms or concepts you don't understand. You should read the basic theory section to make sure you have no gaps in your understanding of keys, intervals, harmonized scales, etc. Taking a college level course or obtaining a couple books in theory is a good way of improving your theoretical knowledge. Becoming a good musician as well as a good guitarist is essential, particularly if you are going to play professionally.

DEDICATION
This book is dedicated to my parents, Virginia and Walter Riker, and to my two children, Tara and Trent, who have all stood by me in the best and worst of circumstances.
