Ton Van Bergeyk launched his career as a musician during the late 1960s playing blues Harp and Ukulele in a duo setting, but he then switched to the acoustic Guitar and quickly learned and mastered the instrument using fingerstyle techniques. He started to transcribe and arrange classic ragtime compositions for fingerpicking Guitar and was discovered by Stefan Grossman during a tour in Holland. Stefan produced Ton's first solo album, Famous Ragtime Guitar Solos, in 1973. This contained 14 of Ton's arrangements of classic ragtime pieces and became a best seller.

In 1980, Ton's third solo album was released and continued his exploration of arrangements for solo fingerpicking Guitar, this time with a repertoire covering jazz, blues, contemporary pop and country and even Mexican folklore. This album was titled Lulu's Back In Town, Hot Guitar Solos. Ton also participated in several anthology projects, i.e. Novelty Guitar Instrumentals, I Got Rhythm, Masters of Ragtime Guitar, The Entertainer and How To Play Ragtime Guitar.

Par VIGNOLA FRANK. This Modern Guitar Method Supplement (formerly of the Frank Vignola Play-Along Series) contains solos which have been written and recorded over blues and rhythm changes in many different keys. Learn more about commonly used chord changes by having the opportunity to jam on them extensively. Some of these etudes have been recorded both at a slower tempo for learning and at performance tempo. The performance-tempo recordings of the solos include numerous choruses of rhythm section only. This allows for individual practice of the written solos or practice of original ideas with a 'live' rhythm section. Occasionally, during these 'rhythm only' sections, Frank Vignola will play an improvised solo for four, 12, or 24 measures. This allows the student to interact with the recording by copying ideas, building upon what has just been played, or practicing the chords to the piece. The Modern Guitar Method Supplement Blues and Rhythm Changes series gives any student of jazz guitar great ideas for playing solos over two of the most popular musical forms in jazz. It is recommended that the student be able to play the jazz standard 'I Got Rhythm' before using this book/CD set. / Niveau : Débutant à Intermédiaire / Jazz - Improvisation / Méthode / Guitare
