Grant & I: Inside And Outside The Go-Betweens (Paperback)

Beautifully written – like lyrics, like prose – Grant & I is a rock memoir akin to no other. Part ‘making of’, part music industry exposé, part buddy-book, this is a delicate and perceptive celebration of creative endeavour. With wit and candour, Robert Forster pays tribute to a band who found huge success in the margins, having friendship at its heart. The Go-Betweens persistently defied categorisation. They were unconventional in line-up and look, noted for near misses and near hits, confounding themselves, fans and record companies with the choices they made. From their unusual beginnings ( Grant didn’t want to be in a band – he couldn’t even play an instrument), through private and professional break-ups, to their reformation in 2000, Forster leads a merry and poignant dance across a thirty-year collaboration, culminating in the premature death of McLennan , in 2006.

Fingerstyle Guitar New Dimensions & Explorations - Volume Two

The performances in this DVD series present two generations of artists who have advanced the acoustic guitar?s cause with formidable boldness. We clearly hear their folk, blues and country roots even as they develop other distinctly personal harmonic and melodic pathways. Thinking, coupled with the 90% perspiration, 10% inspiration formula, is evident in the performances here, no less than in the artful arrangements in the original compositions. There are English guitarist playing original music tinged by American blues, and American guitarists picking with English accents. There are guitarists from everywhere bringing music from the keyboard and other sources to the guitar. There is an apparent user-friendly adaptability happening around the instrument: the example of these players encourages the rest of us to tinker with arrangements, explore open tunings, try varied techniques of picking. The means, they demonstrate, are flexible. And the ends? Endless. As the redoubtable Claw, Jerry Reed once remarked, I don?t go to see a man pick. I go to see a man think.

Fred Sokolow: Songs Of Hawaii For The Ukulele

Though the Ukulele came from Portugal, it became popular and got its name in Hawaii. In this 90-minute lesson, Fred Sokolow presents the most well-known Hawaiian hapa-haoli standards, some that go back to the 1920s, others as recent as the 1960s. Mostly written by Tin Pan Alley composers who threw in a few Hawaiian words and phrases, these songs are still sung today wherever Ukes are strummed. Fred teaches beautiful chord-melody solos to each one, and shows you how to strum a simple accompaniment. Fred makes it easy to learn, with split-screen, slowed down versions of the songs and helpful hints about the licks and picking styles. All the songs are written out in tab and music notation in the PDF file that comes with the lesson. Songs include: Blue Hawaii, Little Brown Gal, Ukulele Lady, On the Beach at Waikiki, Pearly Shells, Tiny Bubbles and I Wonder Where My Little Hula Girl Has Gone .

James John Descrp Gtr Instrumentl Cd

“ This is one of those albums that excited me from the word go. When John and I first discussed the possibilities of his recording I was very pleased. You see, John James is one of the most creative and important acoustic Guitar players performing and living in Europe today. His music owes little to the days of Davey Graham and Bert Jansch. These were the English guitar heroes of ten years ago. Instead John's music has travelled a path derived from folk music, ragtime and jazz sounds. From these sources he has developed a very unique and beautiful style of playing as well as composing. Once we had recorded all the material for this album I knew we had a proverbial 'hot platter' on our hands. Finally, the complete talents of John James seemed to have been captured on record. All of his skills as a guitarist, arranger, and composer were clearly present. Plus, John was happy to transcribed his solos into tablature and we have prepared a PDF booklet, that accompanies this CD. This will certainly bring joy to guitarists who have struggled to learn John's intricate instrumentals .” – 1977, Stefan Grossman

Bobby Keys: Every Night's A Saturday Night

Born in Slaton, Texas, some fifteen miles south-east of Lubbock, Bobby Keys has lived the kind of life that qualifies as a rock ?n? roll folktale. In his early teens, Keys bribed his way into neighbour Buddy Holly?s garage band rehearsals, then took up the saxophone because it was the only instrument left unclaimed in the school band. While still in his teens, he convinced his grandfather to sign his guardianship over to Crickets drummer J.I. Allison so that Keys could go on tour.Keys spent years on the road during the early days of rock ?n? roll with hitmakers like Bobby Vee and the various acts on Dick Clark?s Caravan of Stars Tour. For decades, he was a top touring and session sax man for the likes of Mad Dogs and Englishmen, George Harrison, and John Lennon, and then in 1970, most famously, he began his gig with The Rolling Stones. Every Night?s a Saturday Night finds Keys setting down the many tales of an over-the-top rock ?n? roll life in his own inimitable voice.With a foreword by Keith Richards and exclusive interviews with famous friends and fellow travellers, like Joe Cocker and Jim Keltner, Every Night?s a Saturday Night paints a unique picture of the coming-of-age of rock ?n? roll itself while celebrating how Keys?s raw talent and out-sized personality have elevated him from side-man to a rock icon.

Kanye West Bam Bk

Inside the pages of Kanye West: God & Monster by author Mark Beaumont , you will find the most in-depth, detailed and comprehensive biography of one of popular culture's most polarising icons. Divisive and dissident, the producer, rapper and entrepreneur has remained at the forefront of his musical genre, while simultaneously cultivating controversy in his private life. This biography will reveal all. From his early beginnings rapping in the third grade, to a scholarship to Chicago's art school where he studied painting before switching to English, Kanye's early life is detailed vividly by Beaumont , giving insight into the formative years of a man who would eventually go on to be one of the biggest celebrities in the world. After dropping out of college to pursue his musical dreams, Kanye West began his production and rap career, spanning numerous solo albums, hundreds of features and production credits and multiple awards. From the soul of his first two albums, the conclusion of his college-inspired albums with 'Graduation', the heartfelt emotion on '808s and Heartbreak' to the epic masterpiece that was 'My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy', Kanye then released the abrasive polariser 'Yeezus'. Kanye West: God & Monster concludes with his collaborations with Paul McCartney on the verge of the hotly-anticipated next album. Delving into the compositional process of this hip-hop god, Beaumont details the trials, tribulations and triumphs that went into each and every one of Kanye's acclaimed albums. Of course, Kanye West is not simply a musician, he has also created a character and personality that courts controversy. With on stage rants, a relationship with socialite Kim Kardashian and his strong opinions that he can't help but make public, this figure is as divisive as they come. Nobody can deny that his antics, life and music are fascinating, though, and with this Kanye West biography, the binary judgements of this massive cultural icon are blurred, letting you separate the art from the artist, the personality from the personal life. If you've been looking for an unbiased, detailed biography of Kanye West , then Mark Beaumont 's Kanye West: God & Monster is the most accurate and up-to-date account of the life and times of the pop culture phenomenon that is Kanye West.

Who Is That Man? In Search Of The Real Bob Dylan

Bestselling author David Dalton goes in seach of the real Bob Dylan in an electrifying biography that puts all the others in the shade.As an artist Bob Dylan has been a major force for half a century. As a musical influence he is without equal. Yet as a man he has always acted like an outlaw on the run, constantly seeking to cover his tracks by confounding investigators with a dizzying array of aliases, impersonations, tall tales and downright lies.David Dalton presents Dylan's extraordinary life in such a way that his subject's techniques for hiding in full sight are gradually exposed for what they are, Despite the changing images, the spiritual body swerves, the manipulative nature and the occasionally baffling lurches between making sublime music and self-indulgent whimsy, the real Bob Dylan has never been more visible.Among the eyewitnesses cited are Marianne Faithful, Allen Ginsberg, Andy Warhol, Larry 'Ratso' Sloman, Nat Hentoff, Suze Rotolo and many more. Yet in the end it is Dalton's impressive ability to find revealing patterns in Dylan's multiple disguises that reveals more than we ever expected to learn about the real man behind the Dylan legend.

The Guitar Of Bert Jansch Taught By Rolly Brown

Bert Jansch was one of the most influential and unique guitarists to emerge from the British folk music scene of the sixties.His influence can be traced in the playing of Neil Young, Jimmy Page, Johnny Marr and countless others. Over the course of nearly fifty years, he produced a prodigious body of work, as a solo guitarist, singer and songwriter, as a member of the seminal"folk-baroque" band Pentangle, as a duo with his equally revered friend John Renbourn and in a variety of other ensemble situations. On The Guitar Of Bert Jansch Taught By Rolly Brown , we explore a representative selection from the folk, traditional and blues segment of his Guitar arrangements, ranging from simple early folk Guitar settings like "Running From Home" to his most iconic, sophisticated and original accompaniments(e.g. Reynardine, Black Waterside). These are carefully arranged little gems, and his virtuosity as a guitarist allowed him to have a very specific and beautifully wrought arrangement while still showing an ability to create a number of subtle variations which occurred in his recordings over the years. Rolly Brown first heard Bert's playing in the mid-60s, and has been a fan ever since. Along with basic arrangements, Rolly discusses variations, introductions and endings where appropriate. Titles include Running From Home, Blues Run The Game, Strollin' Down The Highway, In The Bleak Midwinter and more.
