Arranged for Two Guitars. Par CASTELLANI JOANNE. We are pleased to present our arrangement of the iconic and legendary, Fandango, by Padre Antonio Soler, the genius monk of the Baroque era. This work was a mainstay of our touring repertoire for years. The ubiquitous and haunting two measure ostinato motif, inspires, enchants, and delights in all its possibilities. The use of modal duplicity makes this unique piece a wonder in its place in the history of western music and has been a blueprint for imaginative interpreters in countless media. Enjoy and be challenged by its endless possibilities. This contribution to the classical guitar repertoire is just one component of the Castellani Andriaccio Duo's legacy to the instrument as one of the foremost guitar duos in history.Book Includes the Score with separate pull-out parts for Guitar 1 and Guitar 2. / Date parution : 2023-07-31/ Répertoire / Guitare

Par DEBUSSY CLAUDE / SANTOS YAGO. Written in standard notation and tablature, nearly all the pieces in The Music of Debussy for Solo Guitar were transcribed from piano scores. The book?s repertoire represents different periods in the composer?s life and compositional style, from the legendary ?Clair de Lune? to the ?Arabesque No. 1? and some of his most famous preludes, including ?La fille aux cheveux de lin?.Achille-Claude Debussy (1862 ? 1918) developed a highly original system of harmony and musical structure that expressed the ideals of the impressionist and symbolist painters and writers of his time. Oddly enough, Debussy rejected both the term ?Impressionism? and the theoretical approach to music, declaring, ?There is no theory. You merely have to listen. Pleasure is the law.?Author, Yago Santos writes:For me, Debussy represents the most exciting period in the history of music. He accomplished something that happens very rarely, and not in every lifetime; he brought a new kind of beauty into the world. I find it incredible that he never composed a piece for the guitar; that is why I decided to arrange this collection of some of his most famous pieces / Date parution : 2023-08-12/ Recueil / Guitare

Unique to this collection, 7 of the book?s 23 tunes are written in two different tunings, so you can compare the advantages and musicality of each tuning and choose which one to emulate or perform.

for Modern Jazz Guitar. Par MILLER KEVIN. Since the arrival on the jazz scene of John Coltrane, more and more guitarists are looking to incorporate colors into their language which are more dissonant than those generally heard within the realm of jazz guitar. As improvisers, saxophonists and all woodwind players have a certain advantage in that the keys on their instruments are arranged linearly with one or two chromatic pitches associated with each finger. Compared to the sax, the note locations on the guitar fretboard are much less intuitive. It seems a natural process then, for guitarists to gain fluency in improvisation by studying saxophone lines and articulation techniques.Kevin Miller has studied with several stellar teachers including Vic Juris and Rodney Jones. His knowledge of jazz history and the linear and harmonic techniques of non-guitarist giants of jazz like McCoy Tyner and John Coltrane is truly impressive. He is also very adept at transcribing and analyzing the harmonic concepts and articulation techniques used in saxophone solos and making them palatable to guitarists in notation and tablature.Miller brings it all to bear in this book, focusing on giving you new options originating from jazz masters such as John Coltrane and McCoy Tyner, for dealing with common harmonic situations within the world of jazz such as a stagnant minor chord or II-V-I. These options venture ?outside? of the basic harmonic framework, but usually settle back into the core harmonic territory. Not only is the information made accessible through numerous transcriptions of saxophone lines and techniques, Miller provides ways to internalize this material so it can be used ?in an organic way while improvising'. / Date parution : 2023-06-01/ Etude / Guitare

With content ranging from theory and history to practical exercises, examples, études, and play-along tracks, this book offers the most comprehensive guide ever written for this esoteric and traditionally obscure scale. Simply put, it reveals the last big secret of jazz fusion?s avant-garde.According to which music theorist believes he first discovered it, this scale has been known variously as Messiaen?s mode 3, Slonimsky?s Tcherepnin Scale (honoring his colleague), and Tcherepnin?s own name for it? the 9-note augmented or nonatonic scale.The nine notes of the double-symmetrical augmented scale have fascinated and crucially influenced legendary musicians like John Coltrane, Allan Holdsworth, Mark Turner, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Nelson Veras, Tim Miller, Gary Thomas, and Jerry Bergonzi, among many others.Coltrane?s historic composition, ?Giant Steps,? can be directly attributed to his familiarity with the nonatonic scale.

An Anatomy of Position Playing for Jazz Guitar. Par MOONEY DAVY. If you?ve ever wondered about the depth of thought vs. pattern playing that goes into jazz guitar improvisation, you?ll find the answer in this book. University of North Texas jazz guitar instructor and stellar musician, Davy Mooney is as fluid in writing about the physical and cerebral processes of jazz guitar improvisation as he is in playing over tunes, chord changes and modulations. Mooney describes the guitar fretboard as ??a labyrinth ruled by shapes and patterns.? He recounts his own journey toward fretboard fluency beginning with the CAGED major scale positions and connecting them with ascending arpeggio shapes. The purpose of his book is to show you a way into the labyrinth, how to navigate it, and find your way out, should you so desire. Five is the magic number in this book. With five jazz chord progressions, fretboard scale and arpeggio diagrams in five positions, and transcribed eighth-note improvisations, Mooney illustrates how five giants of jazz?Miles Davis, Wayne Shorter, Antônio Carlos Jobim, Thelonious Monk, and John Coltrane?might have approached improvisation had they been jazz guitarists. Written in standard notation and fretboard diagrams for the intermediate to advanced guitarist already well-acquainted with jazz scale and chord theory.

Traditional classical elements like octave, interval and arpeggio studies are also thoroughly explored, with one piece in dropped-D tuning?all with a flamenco flavor.In addition to accomplishing its mission of offering a fresh regimen of appealing practice etudes, the truly unique feature of this book is that everything from basic technique to exotic harmony and modal scales has been aflamencado or ?flamenco-ized?.

arranged for Classical Guitar Solo. Par GUERRA STEPHEN. Choro is a popular instrumental-music tradition flourishing in Brazil and around the world. It preceded, influenced, and in turn was influenced by samba and bossa nova. Its repertory is vast, including thousands of choros composed by all manner of string, wind, keyboard, and percussion players?in addition to the guitar classics by João Pernambuco and Heitor Villa-Lobos.This landmark publication gives guitarists access to this seemingly endless repertory, empowering its readers to turn a choro written for any instrument into a convincing and idiomatic solo guitar arrangement. This process is taught through examples provided by Dr. Stephen Guerra, a versatile guitarist/composer intimately familiar with both classical and Brazilian guitar (violão brasileiro) as well as the choro idiom.This book is intended for both students of Brazilian guitar and classical guitarists seeking to add choros to their repertory and play them authentically. It includes: ?Original solo arrangements plus lead sheets and online recordings of 10 choros for the intermediate to advanced classic guitarist?Biographical and performance notes regarding the selected composers and compositions.?Insightful suggestions for further reading, listening, and study. ?Extensive endnotes explaining arrangement choices, notation practice and influences. Dr. Guerra focuses on classics from the pioneering generation of choro composers culminating in the artistry of João Pernambuco, Pixinguinha, and Heitor Villa-Lobos; among others, these include compositions by choro pianists Chiquinha Gonzaga and Ernesto Nazareth, samba singer-composer Noel Rosa, choro bandleaders Joaquim Calado and Anacleto de Medeiros, and Brazil?s early flute virtuoso, Patápio Silva.Includes access to online audio. / Date parution : 2022-04-26/ Recueil / Guitare Classique
