Fingerstyle Jazz Guitar Volume One

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 1975, Ton's second solo album, Guitar Instrumentals To Tickle Your Fingers, was released containing transcriptions and arrangements of novelty rags, early jazz and popular tunes of the 1930s and 1940s. 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. All of Ton's albums are available as CDs as well as direct downloads from Stefan Grossman's Guitar Workshop, (www.guitarvideos.com) and include tab PDF booklets on the CDs. Ton recorded the audio lesson series Fingerstyle Jazz Guitar to teach phrase by phrase and measure by measure some of his most requested arrangements. This second volume presents Ton Van Bergeyk's renditions of Duke Ellington's Jubilee Stomp and Take It Easy, Thelonious Monk's classic Blue Monk and the George Gershwin standard I Got Rhythm. / Niveau : Facile / Tablatures / Guitare Tablatures

Jim Nichols Craig Wagner and Tim Thompson are three of the most gifted guitarists I've come to know. While each would be classified as jazz players they each have a different approach and sound. Jim brings the tradition ofJoe Pass and Lenny Breau as well as a bebop sound to his lines. Craig applies warp speed three fingered scale techniques on his seven string guitar and mixes the traditional jazz repertoire with the pop styles of Stevie Wonderand Michael Jackson. Tim likes to give an edge to the groove of his traditional swing feel while playing solo and using a looping device. He also likes to surprise his audience with unique song selection and originalcompositions.' - Bill Piburn
