The Best of Ennio Morricone: Original Soundtrack Collection

The great Italian film composer Ennio Morricone first came on the scene with soundracks for Sergio Leone's "spaghetti westerns," including A Fistful of Dollars and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Though his career has been primarily in Italian films, he has also composed distinctive, sophisticated scores for such American films as Once Upon a Time in America, Bugsy, Mission, In the Line of Fire and The Untouchables. This collection of 22 piano solos from 17 movies is a great introduction to Morricone's work, or a rare serving of some of the greatest movie music for the film buff.

For Dummies | English | 2007-04-02 | 360 pages | PDF | 10.3 MB

Many people grimace at the sound of music theory. It can conjure up bad memories of grade school music classes, rattle the brains of college students, and make self-taught musicians feel self-defeated. Music Theory may seem tedious and unnecessary, especially since not many people can read music.

Luckily, Music Theory for Dummies shows you the fun and easy way to understanding the concepts needed to compose, deconstruct, and comprehend music. This helpful guide will give you a great grasp of:
* Note value and counting notes
* Treble and bass clefs
* Time signatures and measures
* Naturalizing the rhythm
* Tempo and dynamic
* Tone, color, and harmonics
* Half steps and whole steps
* Harmonic and melodic intervals
* Key signatures and circles of fifths
* Scales, chords, and their progressions
* Elements of form
* Music theory’s fascinating history

This friendly guide not only explores these concepts, it provides examples of music to compliment them so you can hear how they sound firsthand. With a bonus CD that demonstrates these ideas with musical excerpts on guitar and piano, this hands-on resource will prove to you that music theory is as enjoyable as it is useful. Don’t get discouraged by the seemingly complicated written structure. With Music Theory for Dummies, understanding music has never been easier!

Michael Lee Firkins - Mastering Lead Guitar

Michael Lee Firkins - Mastering Lead Guitar

Michael Lee Firkins gives a thorough and well-rounded lesson dealing with scales and routines, whammy bar effects for unique slide and pedal steel sounds, overdubbing lead harmonies and solos over a rhythm part, blues leads, tapping effects and real tapping for lightning fast runs, fingerpicking for both lead and rhythm, Jimmy Page and Joe Walsh styles, special harmonica and banjo effects, open-string tapping styles, and advanced sweeping and arpeggio techniques and exercises.

Michael Lee Firkins falls in with the same group of guitar virtuosos as Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, and Vinnie Moore -- guitarists who were part of the heavy metal instrumental wave of the '80s. Having played with the Howling Iguanas as well as producing three solo albums, Firkins is considered one of the best guitarists around. With this title happily on his mantle, it is no wonder that Arlen Roth and the Hot Licks Video crew convinced Firkins to sit down in front of the camera, plug in his axe and show the aspiring guitarists of the world how to wail. In Mastering Lead Guitar Michael Lee Firkins covers a great deal of ground, showing how to create a practice routine consisting of scale, whammy bar exercises, blues leads, tapping effects, and finger picking that will help any lead guitarist sound all the more authentic. Though this tutorial is easily followed and understood, the pupil should have some basic guitar knowledge and understanding of jargon before committing to this lesson.

Musicans-Workshop Presents - Country Guitar Soloing with Paul Kramer

Musicans-Workshop Presents - Country Guitar Soloing with Paul Kramer

DVD | English | DVD5 | 720x480 VOB ~6000 kbps NTSC 29.970 fps 4:3 | PCM 2 channels 24-bits RLE 48.0 KHz | 00:60:00 | 2.67 GB

Paul Kramer has designed 10 unique masterpiece solos to epitomize the flavor of each of the 10 main country lead guitar styles. Also covered: Guitar, amp & effects set-up, varying your choice of modes, anticipating chord changes early, building to a climax, melody identity, & much more. Styles covered: Hot Nashville Style • Chicken Pickin •Double-Stop Style • Banjo Style • Steel Guitar Sound •Bluegrass Guitar Licks • Blues Ideas • Rockabilly Sounds • Country Rock Style • Melody Style Playing & much more. Concepts covered: Guitar, Amp & Effects Setup • Varying your Choice of Modes • Anticipating Chord Changes • Building to a Climax • Melody Identity & much more.

Each of these solos is an elequent model of it's particular style, & Paul has cleaverly packed the "hotest" concepts into each solo. But it doesn't stop here because not only does he teach you each of these distinctly diverse & seperate solo styles, but he teaches you the reasons he's designed them so that you will be able to apply all of these concepts to each song you encounter in your own guitar career. The result is a veritable library of exciting, fun, & inciteful material. If I could dig deep enough to really give you the picture as to what makes this course so great, I'd say there are 5 reasons: First, the solos are individually so great! 2nd: the solos are so stylistically different from each other. 3rd: Paul planned the program so that all the licks & components can easily be used in an infinite variety of ways, 4th: he teaches! you why they work the way they do, 5th: he teaches you how to use them in any song you may encounter. The result is a system (truly a SYSTEM) that takes you places! These really appealing solos just make you want to learn. Also covered: Guitar, amp & effects set-up, varying your choice of modes, anticipating chord changes early, building to a climax, melody identity, & much more.

Another perennial favourite Michael Romeo needs absolutely no introduction as a World-Class Guitarist, Composer and Musician. Released by Young Guitar Magazine “The Guitar Chapter” examines his stunning technique, and breaks down a number of songs from the earlier Symphony X albums.

The technique section doesn’t cover the development of each technique as much as it does Michael’s own particular applications in the context of a few different scale/arpeggio types (and some of this is seriously quick):
Alternate Picking, Economy Picking, String Skipping, Legato (Diminished, Whole Tone, Harmonic Minor, Pentatonic) Pivot Licks, Sweep Picking and some killer examples of his awesome tapping technique. Although a little dated (Michael really should release something contemporary for the fans!) it’s still an informative look at one of the quiet giants of rock guitar.

The New Real Book, Volume 2 (Key of C)

The New Real Book, Volume 2 (Key of C)

More great tunes in the world-class New Real Book format. Along with many standard tunes, Volume 2 features over a dozen each of the best tunes by Chick Corea, John Coltrane and Horace Silver. Like all Sher Music fake books, it features composer-approved transcriptions, easy-to-read calligraphy, and many extras (sample bass lines, chord voicings, drum appendix, etc.) not found in conventional fake books.

Prior to the publication of this book, serious Jazz professionals and students had to hunt down copies of the elusive "REAL BOOK", that improvisor's bible found only UNDER the counter at CERTAIN music shops (which you'd ultimately get pointed out to through your local musician's grapevine. ) At times hard to read, prone to fall apart and vanish off the bandstand and not always 100% accurate, it was definitely the book you needed to make it through gigs if you weren't a walking encyclopaedia of tunes.

Finally, along has come this book. It's legal, the print is easier to read, the pages are easier to turn, and it has some cute pictures and even hipper tunes... but is it better ?

Yes and no. The one problem I have with it is that *for me* on the bandstand, simple is best. If someone calls a tune you've never heard before, you want to be able to turn to it, glance at the changes and hang with them. This book, in contrast, sometimes throws in extra bells and whistles delightful perhaps to a student and certain musicians, but a nuisance if you just want to see a skeleton of the basics so you can hang with the changes. My philosophy is : just give me the basic chords and melody... and its my job as an improvisor to throw in the rest. On the other hand, most fake books (arrangement wise) really leave you on your own.

The plus side of this book... it definitely has hipper changes and a hipper selection of tunes than the alternative (if that's what you're looking for and that's your taste), has introductions, endings, material more relevent for ensemble practise that you wouldn't find in the alternative and, for example if there's a particular vamp or line that defines the tune, the piano, bass and horn part might actually be written out even the drum part at times.

So is this book for you ? If you're looking for a fake book that's willing to "help you out" and you don't find that a distractor, definitely, yes ! If you're a student and don't know a lot of tunes, definitely, yes ! It has a great selection of tunes that will help you expand your song repoitoire, and also that's nice and cleanly written. A book such as this is a great investment... its not something you get and hide away under the bench... its something that you'll probably pack alongside your instrument everytime you go to a gig because people WILL be calling tunes from it.
