From what I understand the Jazz Guitarist program is no longer available from PG Music. I heard they had problems with copyright restrictions, because the tunes used were all standards. Your assessment of Oliver Gannon, the guitarist who recorded the Jazz Guitarist tracks using a midi guitar, as "fairly competent" reminds me of an old story by Robert Sheckley called "The Language of Love." The story is a spoof on the use of language to convey emotions exactly. I would say Gannon, who is apparently a top studio player in Canada, warrants more glowing praise than "fairly competent." I'd say he was at least "very competent" or even "impressive." I used to own a midi guitar, and I shudder to think what a midi-only recording of me playing that guitar would sound like. For those of you who have never had the, er, pleasure of playing a midi guitar, I would estimate the rate of success in getting notes to track correctly is about 50 to 70%. That's a lotta clams. Last, I recommend Band-in-a-Box to anyone who is studying to be a jazz player. Having your own band available to play in any key, any tempo, etc. 24 hours a day is a great asset. -- Clay Moore -- jazz guitarist web developer clay@... claymoore@...

Band In a Box is great program for producing quick lead sheets, infact
I've used and recommended it so much that I had to put a page together on my web site with links to sites related to Band In a Box: With regard to pgmusic's Jazz Guitarist program, it was a great program, which they have sadly discontinued. The guitarist who played all the tracks was Oliver Gannon. I believe Oliver is the brother of Peter Gannon the founder of pgmusic and software developed of Band In a Box. Here is some background on Oliver Gannon. Born in Dublin, Ireland on March 23, 1943. His guitar style could be described as mainstream with influences of Wes Montgomery, Barney Kessel, (pianist) McCoy Tyner and (saxophonist) Joe Henderson. He has performed in Europe, the U.S., Russia (3 tours), Korea and throughout Canada. In 1969 he graduated from Boston's Berklee School of Music and moved to Vancouver where he currently resides. In 1982 he teamed up with Fraser MacPherson on tenor for a duo album, "I Didn't Know About You", which won the Juno Award (Canada's Grammy). His association with MacPherson has continued and they can be heard in the quartet format on records with the Concord, Sackville and Justin Time lables. original article: Try www.pgmusic.com.

[jazzguitar] Re: Guitar Tabulature
Guitarist:
I published the attached "Guitar Chord Inversions" article in The Austin Songwriter in l998 using MusEdit. info@.... or www.musedit.com. At that time, all the inversions were not in the available chord forms but I managed with some white out and a black pen. Forgive me if my notation isn't exactly correct. I am mainly a by ear, chord grid player. You can find MusEdit on p. l42 of Guitar Player October l999. I am sure there have been some upgrades since my version. I never got around to doing the next group of strings and triads but I plan to. I give my thanks to Clay Moore for teaching me the inversions. Check out his web page, www.claymoore.com Thanks, Polk Shelton |

I too prefer to work on my ideas using a sequencer or the old fashioned way of pen and paper and them move to using Finale. Recently, I downloaded a demo of a new software program called Sibelius. The software was developed in Cambridge, UK, and sees to have gained wide acceptance in Europe. It has been a joy to play around with, even after years of using Finale, I may switch to it. Working with tabulature and midi file import is much easier than finale. It also has a web publishing option, which I'm investigating. It requires the download of a browser plug-in called Scorch which lets you view, play back and transpose Sibelius scores on the Internet. Really cool ! It may be a way for us to communicate our ideas more effectively in this discussion group. Check out the web site: Has anyone else used this software ?

[jazzguitar] Tunings
Mark Secosh
Dear Jazzguitar:
Do any of you use alternate tunings? A couple I've heard of are the "all fourths tuning" EADGCF (useful because of its symmetry), a secret Robert Fripp tuning (does anybody know this one), and recently a "low A tuning" AADGBE I saw in a John McLaughlin transcription (that's A an octave lower, which provides good bass for solo work without adding extra strings). More later, Mark |

I tend to use natural minor for the im7 most of the time because it gives me a more relaxed sound and when I want some color I switch to the melodic minor. I don't care that much for the kind of the minor chord the piano player comps as long as it is a "im" I will play like said above.

[jazzguitar] Guitar Tabulature
Over the years I have used a number of software programs to produce
guitar tabulature for teaching purposes. For perfect copy I have used Coda music's Finale, which produces great output and can be made to do virtually anything, only the problem is it's not easy to use and can destroy any inspiration. Has anyone had experience with other software programs that produce guitar tabulature they'd like to share with the group ? Any one using software to produce chord and fret diagrams ?
