to see a great film about Liszt then I suggest "Song Without End" which is pretty true to the truth and also has some fabulous musical performances. That guitar was a recent nutty Gibson offering of a reverse flying V. When I saw it released I wondered about the sanity of some of their current design department. Will

Hey, Ron,You forget, my friend, that I gave up on tv in 1983. I don't know who Myley Cyrus or her dad are. Did you happen to look at Susana Raya yesterday on utube. She kinda sounds like Madeleine Peyroux when she sings and plays nice lines, good comping as well. And she's a serious babe! Ron Living and playing outside the box.

Re: child prodigies
I could barely sit through that movie Amadeus. It was incredibly bad and I am sure there are those that believe that the portrayal of Mozart in that movie is accurate. Actually promotion for the movie claimed the portrayal was based on recent documents discovered about Mozart but nowhere did they ever tell you what documents or where you could read tem for yourself. I think I've read everything available on Mozart at one time but I never read anywhere that he was the idiot portrayed in the movie. It was otherwise an expensive well produced film that could have been wonderful except for the absurd depiction of Mozart.

The problem, then, is where to draw the line. What is an acceptable trade-off of rights. The American people seem all too willing to allow meaningless strip searches in airports and 4th Amendment violations of their rights in subways, trains, banks, and soon probably fast-food restaurants, but to protect real copyright ownership they have a problem. The real problem is not the rights of these thieves, but the fact that they are thieves in the first place. If people could be trusted not to steal, then all of our laws regarding theft would be unnecessary. It would be nice to think you'll never be robbed, but I'm guessing that you are not taking the locks off of your doors anytime soon. best, Bobby |
Re: child prodigies
Will,
Yes, i guess you're right, although i was thinking emtional / intelectual development. Mozart himself developed his talent to a standard we're all familiar with, but was nonetheless considered «incompetent» in what came to be the management of a musical career and quite unsuccessful in coping with «emotional dire straits».

Someone asked which Wes phrase I played in the workshop. Here's a link to video of "Windy" It's not exactly the same as what he plays on the record... It's the first solo, around 1:31, a pentatonic run played in octaves. I don't use my thumb to make the whole thing, like Wes, I do a kind of modified "Travis" picking where I tuck the pick against my palm, and use my thumb for the bass and ring finger to pick the top octave |

Uploaded reference book for 7th chords
denzodenzo
Hi all,
I just uploaded in pdf file section of this group (; Graphics%20%26%20PDF%20Files%20/) a reference book for 7th chords. You'll find all four note positions with root on bass (drop2, drop3 and so on). This is a very useful tool for beginner and intermediate jazz guitar players to start immediately to play jazz songs. If you find this file useful I invite you to visit my site (www.ubiguitar.com <> ) and verify other books related to jazz guitar I published . In download section are listed other free tools that you can download freely. On other sections you'll find material on voice leading, scales and arpeggios, chord progressions and chord melody, standards, altered tuning and more. These books are specifically prepared for people who likes playing what theory is about: often good theory books are poor of samples and usually they are not related to guitar playing. Instead our chord books not only report chord positions, but are full of samples of their usage in standard comping, voice leading, related scales and arpeggios: all you need to transform a simple chord position in a usefull sound tool for your music; because we believe that you can learn jazz only by playing jazz. Regards UbiGuitar www.ubiguitar.com <> - Tools for Guitar Players |

I think the problems are how this kind of
legislation can be used. Allowing a bunch of faceless political assistants the power to close anything down on the pretext of copyright infringement means that any site could be closed to gag opposing political views.

No political inferences whatsoever are intended in my comments. I missed the awards but the first time I saw Candidate Scott Brown, I saw a striking resemblance to John F. Kennedy, Jr. I'm curious if anyone else thought so. Likewise, in the past year or two, I have seen more than one image of former President Clinton and former VP Candidate, Geraldine Ferraro which, to me, were remarkably similar to each other. |
