Jack Bruce and Robin Trower: Seven Moons Live Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Like many, I thought that Robin Trower got back together with Jack Bruce in order to produce a cheap payday capitalizing on past glories.After all, even the song titles were rip-offs of old stuff, right?

Well, I was wrong.Instead of a jaded, pale imitation of what used to be, like most rockers past their prime produce, this is actually a heartening reminder that talent and true greatness stand the test of time.I will readily agree that Trower and Bruce are not going to win any beauty contests these days; it's actually kind of heartbreaking to see how they've aged.

But, DESPITE the ravages of time, Bruce can still produce jewels like "Just Another Day", which is just as good as anything on his masterwork, "Harmony Row".And Robin Trower plays ridiculously well for a sixty-four year old. He plays the Cream classic songs effortlessly, but he really shines on the new stuff like "Seven Moons", "So Far to Yesterday", and "The Last Door".

In the final analysis, there aren't that many rock musicians that you can classify as "significantly creative artists".But these are two such musicians, from a generation that lifted rock music toward respectability.

Look at the people Bruce has worked with: John McLaughlin, Tony Williams, Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker, Chris Spedding, Gary Moore, Carla Bley, Frank Zappa.Jack has the kind of musical intelligence that transcends genres.Trower has the flowing style of soloing that can remind you of a jazz saxophonist, and he is never anything less than tasteful.

So my advice is to get past the wrinkles, and enjoy the music.Jazz player Roland Kirk kept playing after debilitating strokes.Johnny Cash still commanded respect when he was frail of health.

Just be glad that these guys are still around, still creative, still sharing their gifts.What they're doing, in the face of a music industry that only loves pretty faces, is nothing short of HEROIC.

Foo Fighters (Transcribed Scores) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you want some extra insight into how these songs are played, these books are always great. But I'm always shocked when these things have so many minor errors. Most notably in this book, the guitar chords for the verse of "I'll Stick Around" are the incorrect form, which is disappointing because the actual chords sound really cool when played correctly. Personally, I see a mistake like that and lose faith in the whole thing. Maybe I'm too picky but if I pay money for a score, I want it to be exact.

Overall, the book gives you a great start when learning these parts if you're struggling figuring it out on your own. But some of the tougher details are really left up to you to figure out.

Classic Albums - Jimi Hendrix: Electric Ladyland (1992) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)While the average Hendrix fan might not be interested in the details of how Electric Ladyland was made, for the musician this DVD is priceless.

You get to hear individual tracksand interviews from the engineer and band members on how it was all done.Eddie Kramer, Mitch, Noel, all talking about their memories. You also get aglimpse into the personality of Hendrix that is very different than thewild man image. This movie has given me even more appreciation of thismusical masterpiece.

Complete Blues Keyboard Method: Beginning Blues Keyboard (CD) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is one of the best beginning blues instruction books I've found. It teaches a bit of blues theory and provides the basic framework for the blues, but Tricia also provides the beginner with a few blues tunes to play. You can find books with advanced blues songs (from established performers) and you can find books with blues "riffs"....but you won't find many bookes for beginners that have good sounding, playable, blues tunes. Ms. Woods delivers on all fronts.

Blues Piano: Hal Leonard Keyboard Style Series (Keyboard Instruction) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this book along with a number of other blues books, and this one has been my favorite.It doesn't contain as much material as the multivolume Alfred series, but I find the organization, presentation, and *especially* the examples to be superior in Mark's work.The way the examples build section by section and chapter by chapter is exquisite.They are musically interesting yet very focused on the point at hand--I always enjoyed playing through the examples, but was never confused by unnecessary complications.

The companion CD is the best I've seen in any music instruction book, ever.Most examples have the left and right hand parts on the left and right channels, so you can mute one speaker or the other for "hands seperate" practicing.I personally don't use this much, as I prefer to work it out with the metronome, but I'm glad it's there and you may appreciate it.On tracks that have a backing band, the band is on one side and the keyboard on the other so you can play along to just the band.Finally, the "complete" examples at the end of the book feature a "slow" and "fast" version on the CD.One nitpick: I wish he'd included (in the text) the metronome settings he used, making it easier to practice/jam without the CD.

I've got several of the Hal Leonard books in this series, and they're not all by Mark Harrison.His books are definitely a cut above.All in all, if you have any interest in the subject whatsoever, you can't go wrong with this book.

John Mayall: Authentic Guitar-Tab Edition (Guitar Anthology Series) Review

Average Reviews:

If you love John Mayall, you can't be dissapointed.
At the end of the book you have the songs with the chords alone.
Good if you like to do your own thing.
One more thing in it's favor the tabs are big enough...Most of the time (probably to save paper) everything is written much to small in many songbooks.

Blues & Jazz Complete Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Dr. Konowitz presents a thorough, pedagogically sound introduction to blues and jazz. The book is spiral bound, so it lays flat on your music stand. A variety of blues and jazz techniques are meticulously illustrated. New chords are introduced with a nice full page guide to the keyboard fingering. It is a bit cookie cutter, but having the fingering written out below and above the staffs is a plus. My only complaint is that the "band" seems to be a cheesy concoction of General MIDI instruments played through an inadequate sound engine. The CD sound quality is irritating. One word of extra advice: You will not need the CD for the companion book, Chords Complete, because it only contains incidental backing rhythm tracks for the chord exercises. I have four books authored byKonowitz. The sound quality of the CDs are uniformly cheesy except for the Listen and Learn Blues Book published in 2002.

Backstage Passes and Backstabbing Bastards (Book) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Al Kooper has been rightly called the "Forrest Gump" of rock and roll. Throughout the 60's and 70's he seemed to turn up as a producer or band member with the right group of musicians until he either checked out of a band (the first electric Bob Dylan tour in 1965) or was thrown out (Blood, Sweat and Tears). Over the course of 40 years he's amassed an amazing amount of experiences that he's collected in Backstage Passes and Back Stabbing Bastards. This is the third edition of his music biography first published in 1979, then updated in the mid-90's, and now reissued covering 1998 to the present. "BP&BB" reads very much like a long-form interview you'd see in Rolling Stone (when it was good) or MOJO (always good). While he's never quite gone beyond cult figure status on his own, behind the scenes he's worked with some legends, most notably Bob Dylan and Lynyrd Skynyrd. Dylan pops up at various times throughout the book and Al's stories about him are alternately revealing but mostly hilarious. It was Dylan who gave Kooper his "calling card" to rock stardom when he overruled producer Tom Wilson and turned up the organist on "Like a Rolling Stone". The organist was Kooper, who'd BS'd his way onto the session and only jumped on the organ (an instrument he couldn't turn on let alone play) when Mike Bloomfield showed up and shattered Kooper's guitar hero dreams just by tuning up. That session would be both a blessing and a curse for Kooper, who got a ton of session work from producers looking for "that Dylan sound" but left Al wanting something more substantive musically. Enter Dylan, who dragged him onstage at the legendary Newport Folk Festival when he went electric. Al sets the record straight on that show and has a much different version of the event than the history books because he was RIGHT THERE. He was also "right there" when Bob went to Nashville to record "Blonde on Blonde". Al's relationship with Dylan has certainly evolved over the years and from his stories you get the impression that Bob's been doing everything he can to run away from his legacy instead of embracing it.

From there, he joined the Blues Project until they imploded. Organized and performed at Monterey Pop, then formed Blood Sweat and Tears until he was ousted by their drummer following their debut album. That might be the end of the story right? Wrong! Taking the phrase "if you can't beat `em, join `em" to heart, he became a staff producer at CBS Records under "Captain Clive" Davis. His first project would be the legendary "Super Session" album with Mike Bloomfield and Stephen Stills. Kooper's work with "Bloomers' is a case of missed opportunities, when things were good with him they were very good. They would produce 3 albums together but Mike could be exasperating to deal with. He only appeared on ½ of "SS" and "The Live Adventures", leaving suddenly midway through both due to chronic insomnia and/or a heroin addiction that eventually took his life.

After leaving CBS, he relocated to Atlanta with the idea of forming his own record label (ala` Phil Walden at Capricorn Records). While scouting local talent he spotted a guitar army from Jacksonville and "Sounds of the South's" first artist was Lynyrd Skynyrd. LS seem to have a love/hate relationship with Kooper. While grateful for producing their first 3 albums (as well as hits like "Free Bird", "Gimme 3 Steps" and "Sweet Home Alabama") his production methods seemed to soften the powerhouse sound they had live. It's no wonder he was immortalized as "Mr. Yankee Slicker" in the song "Workin' for MCA".

The one story I wished he'd expanded on was playing with Jimi Hendrix on "Electric Ladyland". They'd met at Monterey Pop and Al received one of Jimi's Strats as a thank-you for his work. That guitar would prove to be more trouble than it was worth later on.

The last 10 years have been something of a rough road for Al. He became an associate professor at Berklee College of Music in Boston, became a grandfather, and endured a long recovery from a debilitating eye disorder. But he's still out playing live (with his academic colleagues no less!) and his dry wit is still there, can't wait for volume 4!

Highly recommended!

Jimi Hendrix (Hal Leonard Jazz Play-Along, Vol.80) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The release of this book coincided with a big promotional push by Jimi's heirs and some people use this as proof that it's all drivel written by those trying to once again capitalize on the Hendrix legacy.Wait a minute - I thought all of the music, books, memorabelia, etc., were being sold to cash in on Jimi?Actually, this is a nice package, although it's no competition for the very best books out there, either from the perspective of photography or history, but it was lovingly assembled and lavishly decorated.Certainly, it is worthwhile for the Hendrix collector, especially considering how inexpensively it can be had as a used purchase from amazon or on ebay.

Hal Leonard The Best of Eric Clapton Easy Recorded Versions Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you're like me, you'll find this book really handy. The format includes only the chords and the lyrics. I'm an experienced guitarist, so I only want the bare bones of a song. I rarely have to turn the pages since most songs fit on a couple of pages (lyrics are hard for me to remember for some reason). The chord changes are placed above the lyrics, so if you know the song, it's easy to make the changes at the right time. So far, all of the songs I've played are in the correct key, but I've only played a dozen or so from this book. The Chord Songbook series has been a real productive one for me. I love 'em. Especially the Beatles Complete Chord Songbook. I've learned more about pop song structure from these books than any other material. Chord diagrams are at the top the every song title page, in case you need them. Songs are in the correct key unless a capo is required. While I don't use these songbooks to learn new material very often, I do use them to play songs I'm familiar with. So, if you want to play songs without having to turn pages for lyrics and tabs, you will probably like these. Happy guitaring y'all.

Eric Clapton - Crossroads Vol. 1* (Eric Clapton Vol. 1) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've seen too many guitar tab books over the years to remember and I've learned that only a handful are truly excellent in terms of accuracy, ease of reading and overall use and these tend to be the ones that remain in my music library over time.For this reason, I'm usually tolerant of minor errors that are easily glossed over and that can be figured out myself as I play along with the cd with relative ease.This particular tab book on the early works of Eric Clapton as presented in the first 2 cds of the 4 disc Crossroads box set is a mixed bag.The transcriptions are mostly accurate although I have some different views with regards the choice of finger positions for certain tracks; these issues can come down to an individual preference issue and so I'm okay with it for the most part.For example, the guitar solo as transcribed for "A Certain Girl" isn't the optimal one as I feel the one I play sounds a lot more like the cd and is also a lot easier to play than the one in the book.

There is also a probably now dated essay on Clapton's life by Anthony DeCurtis a Senior Writer for Rolling Stone Magazine as well as another essay by the transcriber, Fred Sokolow, himself on Clapton's guitar stylings which is a nice-to-have and which is rare for most guitar tab books.The book binding though isn't optimal as the pages close in on themselves easily and it's hard to read the notes that are close to the spine because of this.The biggest downer for me though is that the font size is very small making it very difficult to read and play along with the cd at the same time.This is a real shame as the transciber probably put in a lot of work on this project only for the publisher to significantly reduce the usefulness and hence quality of the work with thoughtless publishing.Obviously the publisher is no musician and so doesn't understand how to publish music books that help instead of hinder the musician.Let's just say that I'm surprised that the publisher is actually Hal Leonard.Get your magnifying glasses ready and prepare to do a lot of hard pressing and smoothing down of the pages to keep them in place risking the pages coming off the spine while you play if you want to dig into this otherwise decent attempt at transcibing the work of this great guitarist.

(More customer reviews)This is a good book for players who already have a good grasp of the blues.It's a great reference book for those songs that don't follow standard blues chord progressions.If you're just starting to learn the blues, it's still a good buy, however, it won't teach you how to play the blues or how to get the sound you hear on recorded versions of the songs.It's basically lyrics and chord progressions - that's it.If that's all your expecting, you should be happy with it.

Beale Street and Other Classic Blues Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)No matter if you thought the wonderful artists of the 1920s like Bessie Smith and Robert Johnson exemplified early blues; they actually refined it into a passionate form of musical art. The Blues in this collection constitute the earliest published blues songs and instrumentals, and will offer many clues into the difficulties both writers and publishers had of settling into the common 12 bar form. Plenty of W.C. Handy as well, who while he did not exactly write the melodies in most of his pieces, he certainly knew how to assemble and promote them. One notable omission is Baby Seal's Blues, which for many years was considered the first publication of blues with 'Blues' in the title, or the mention of Oh You Beautiful Doll, in which the verse is also an early blues. Aside from that, just playing through this collection is an instant education that will leave you well versed in the form - and many of the pieces are available for a listen on my web site (better enhanced with book in hand).
