[jazzguitar] Must Have Jazz Guitar CDs

Rob Clark
 

Hi All,

I'm pretty new to jazz guitar and would welcome suggestions
concerning the to 10 or so jazz guitar CDs (Chrismas coming
up and all). I have some Charlie Christian, Django, and Wes
- but thats about it. Thanks in advance for the input.
Rob


[jazzguitar] Re: Help memorizing sharps and flats

Hi! Probably this will help you: I suggest you to learn chord notes
around chords you take or play over, if you do so you will know that when
you take Eb7, for example, then here is the rote here is the third, fifth,
seventh. After this it's much easier to see the scale, you already know
where the chord notes [and what they are :)], so just add fourth, 9th,
sixth and... here we are !!!

But if I'm sight-reading I don't want to look to left every note I come to.
That would be impractical.

OK, if you know the cycle, then it is simple...

For #'s you count them clockwise around the circle starting at 11 o'clock (F)
and then 12 o'clock (C) then 1 oclock, etc. until you are at the number of
sharps for the key you are in.

Example: You are in the key of A Major. You know that it has 3 sharps. You
start counting from 11 o'clock for 3 spaces. So you get 11 is F 12 is C and
1 is G.
So there you have it....The key of A has 3 sharps and the notes that are
sharped are F, C and G.


For Flats, you simply start at at 10 o'clock and count counter-clockwise.

Example: You are in Db (D flat). You know it has 5 flats, so start counting
from 10 o'clock and you will see B, E, A, D and G (Remember the first 4 as
the word BEAD). These notes are the notes that get flatted!


Hope this helps,
Andy Seyler

I don't know any trick. the last flat is the fourth etc. My suggestion is
to play all you can in those keys. Go find tunes in them. Transpose if you
have band in a box or go to your music store and find exercises in those
keys for any instrument and sight read, sight read sight read. perhaps
some of the books that have been recommended on this site have great helps
with this. If they you, you'll hear from those who have used them.



Learn the scales so you can spell them in your head, name them out loud and
find every Db Gb etc on the fingerboard.

practice!

Then you better learn/memorize the cycle!

(snip)

Again if you have the sheet music the flats or sharps are located on the
lines/spaces in the key signature.

I can't deny the advantages of memorizing the circle of fifths or fourths,
depending which way you go around it. Have you ever taken a good look at
the key signature? For example in F, which is one flat, the flat symbol is
on the b line. For B flat, two flats, the symbols are on the b and the e,
and so on. In other words if you have the music sharp or flatted notes are
in the key signature.

[jazzguitar] Re: Help memorizing sharps and flats

 

I know the cycle, it's the application that's giving me problems. For
example: Db major has Bb Eb Ab Db Gb. I know the key has 5 flats but I lose
the information when I pick up my instrument and try to play a piece of sheet
music. I always have to stop and repeat the cycle to myself as a reminder but
because the notes aren't in alphabetical order it gets me confused. I'll
remember Bb and Eb but after that my fingers take over. It's very
discouraging since it's so basic yet it gives me so much trouble.
Thanks

[jazzguitar] Found Randy Sarles

Edward Tootill
 

I found the Philadelphia-area jazz guitar player
named Randy Sarles.

I heard a track from a new CD on wrti one Friday
night. At first I swore it was Ella Fitzgerald and
Joe Pass, but it wasn't. It was Zan Gardner on
vocals and Randy Sarles on guitar. Randy was
playing a walking base line under a complex chord
progression.

If you are interested:

Sarles Music
P.O. Box 37
Arcola, PA 19420-0037

sarlesmusc@... ( There is no "i" )

The CD is "Birds of a Feather", $17 PPD.

[jazzguitar] Re: What are good amps?

 

My name is jack. Recently, I bought an Evans custom jazz amp. It's the best
sounding amp i have ever played through. I have the je200. Its price is
around 1100 new. If you are looking for a bit cheaper amp, Polytones are
nice. They are very forgiving as far as feedback goes. They come as cheap
as 400.

Good luck, Jack.


[jazzguitar] Chord Book

Edward Tootill
 

I found a new chord instruction book which starts
with triads on all the three adjacent string sets.
He then goes on the triads in spread string sets,
then finally to four note seventh chords. It is
filling in the gaps in my fingerboard knowledge.

"Chord Connections, A Comprehensive Guide To Guitar
Chords and Harmony" by Robert Brown, Alfred
National
Guitar Workshop series.

He recommends Jody Fisher's book, "Guitar Chord and
Scale Finder" and "Theory for the Contemporary
Guitarist" by Guy Capuzzo

Anyone have experience working with "Theory for the
Contemporary Guitarist" book?
