When I think about Brasil, I think about ?Violao? (that's what we call the nylon string guitar in our country). The art of playing ?Violao? looks simple, but it isn't and this book shows how to assimilate and how to understand this art. This makes me feel happy. With talent and clear information, Nelson will help guitar players all around the world to enjoy all the pleasures of this wonderful instrument. Make good use of this excellent musical book!?

The FINGERBOARD series was created to progressively improve upon fretboard knowledge sight-reading and all other topics and to be included in a study plan that corresponds to the other volumes in my catalogue of educational material. In this 4th Volume of the FINGERBOARD series we get a deeper knowledge of MELODIC ARPEGGIOS: that?s why I named it ARPEGGIOLOGY.3 4 and 5 note arpeggios are fundamental not only to understanding and knowing the fretboard but to improvisation in any genre of music. For this reason you will see arpeggios to be studied with different techniques fingerings and voicings on the fretboard: from the CAGED system and arpeggio inversions(very useful in jazz) to sweep picking arpeggios and _x001F_ngerings more suitable to shredding! There are also ?Unit Recaps? that will help you find harmonic shortcuts and create examples to put into use immediately on your own!A NEW APPROACH TO TEACHING IN THESE EDUCATIONAL BOOKS: Hours of video content ready for your television computer hand-held device phone or tablet You will get the maximum results from each lesson by watching the video with the book open in front of you! It?s like having a personal private lesson with me. You will find that some lessons put more importance on the video and others more on the written lesson. In the ROM section of the DVD you will find videos ready for your portable devices some playalong mp3s to study with (the same ones I use in the video) and the ?click to speed up? function my idea to help you successfully increase your velocity little by little. Copy the files to your portable device whether a new-generation phone tablet or any other device and bring my lessons with you!Backing tracks are in the DVD?s ROM section all the examples in the Video DVD

Coltrane spent years sitting at the piano and so should all of us!!! John Patitucci Berklee College of Music One thing about Andy?he is complete as can be and has been consistently so for years in both his teaching materials and playing. He is completely knowledgeable in such a way that when I play with him, I know he KNOWS!! Plus he is one of the smoothest and polished of players around. Great book?encyclopedic in content.

Long a fan of his playing, I have enjoyed this look behind the curtain at how Andy LaVerne formulated his signature style. One other thing -- any pianist, no matter his/her approach, will gain insight into what will surely be new and exciting musical directions.

Par LIEBMAN DAVID. Each volume of this unique jazz improvisation method includes: State of the art recordings (multi-track digital), recorded in the excellent Bauer Studios, where many of the productions for the record label ECM have been done, and in the Skyline Studios in New York City. Each set contains six complete performances, including opening and closing theme statements, improvised solos and six play-along tracks which feature the rhythm section without soloist. Many performances use the original arrangements from classic jazz recordings (So What, Equinox, A Night In Tunisia, 'Round Midnight, Con Alma, Webb City, Joshua etc.). Because the complete performances were approached as in a professional recording session the play-along versions sound fresh and spontaneous, with much interaction between the rhythm section instruments and the soloists. Piano and bass are clearly separated. Book with helpful commentary and analysis of each recorded performance in English, français and deutsch. Transcribed solos: Each book contains at least one complete solo transcription, many excerpts from other solos (piano and bass solos as well as horn and guitar solos are included) plus appropriate chord/scale information, including modes of the major, harmonic minor, melodic minor and symmetrical scales. Individual instrumental parts in C, B flat, E flat and bass clef: The detachable instrumental parts are extremely practical for both classroom and professional use. Completely notated piano and bass parts: Volume 1, 2, 5, 6, 7 and 8 contain detachable piano (or guitar) and bass parts for all six compositions, volume 3 on 3 tunes (A Night In Tunisia, 'Round Midnight and Embraceable You). Transcribed excerpts from piano and bass accompaniments: Excerpts from piano and bass accompaniments have been selected in order to illustrate the most important techniques for developing accompaniments on these instruments. This includes piano chord voicings, harmonic substitution and embellishment, developing bass lines, interaction with other instruments, etc./ Recueil / Tout Instrument
