In the early 1700s, Bach's chorales enchanted listeners with their inventive harmonies, chromaticism, contrapuntal motion, and changes of tonal center. Since that time, music students the world over have studied the chorales as a paragon of 'common practice' harmony and voice leading. And by virtue of their sublime beauty, musicians continue to perform the chorales to this day. The four-part texture of the chorales can make their performance on guitar ? with its fingering limitations ? somewhat problematic. But by sometimes thinning the texture to three or two parts, and sometimes inverting the lower parts (allowing the alto or tenor to temporarily serve as the bass), we've created easy-to-play classical guitar solos that capture all the interest and beauty of Bach's original compositions.

'The material is a mix of traditional and original the playing superb. Grossman and Renbourn combine their talents and mix of styles here to produce appealing instrumental music of rare beauty and taste.' AllMusic.comOn their duet records John Renbourn and Stefan Grossman meet on the common turf of American blues and Celtic fiddle tunes and airs. Under The Volcano is a collection of seven duets. Including an extended four-part work for which the album is named and one solo by each of the players the album has what has come to be the characteristic sound of the duo. Reflecting what Stefan quite accurately describes as 'aninterweaving of styles ' it is quite difficult and somewhat pointless to tell which of the two is playing the lead in most parts of the album. The original compositions are at once down-home and high-flown brimming with contrapuntal funkiness and the music manages to sound both loose and precise. Grossman and Renbourn contribute equally to the composition and arrangement of the traditional material. They aren't uptight about overdubbing or using the occasional electric guitar texture. But the lingering impression is one of crisp snapping strings and air being moved by wooden-boxed guitars.Track Listing:1. Idaho Potato2. Medley: Sheebeg An Sheemore & Drunken Wagoner3.

Come lo indica chiaramente il titolo, lo scopo di questo metodo è quello d?insegnarvi le basi dell?improvvisazione sulla chitarra. Forse fino ad ora non avete osato affrontare l?improvvisazione perché vi sembra inaccessibile? Oppure forse avete già provato, senza successo, suonando sempre le stesse note o gli stessi licks, senza riuscire ad andare oltre? In entrambi i casi, questo manuale, tanto semplice quanto ludico e pienamente didattico, vi aiuterà a demistificare definitivamente l?improvvisazione sulla chitarra. Basato su un concetto di frasi brevi e lunghe, questo metodo vi permetterà di costruire rapidamente e facilmente degli assoli di qualità professionale, di crearvi una "biblioteca" di licks (indispensabile per qualsiasi improvvisatore), di sviluppare la propria creatività? Sul disco dati allegato al metodo, troverete numerosi file audio e video. I video (mp4) presentano tramite l?immagine i numerosi esercizi ed esempi così come devono essere suonati. Le registrazioni audio (mp3) invece propongono le basi musicali corrispondenti, per permettervi d?improvvisare secondo quanto indicato o più liberamente.
