Subject: Best guitar books


I'm seeking opinions on the best guitar books. "The Guitar Handbook" by
Ralph Denyer is the most comprehensive book I've ever seen, but I'm
wondering about more specialized books. I saw an old copy of "Basic
Guitar" from the Guitar Player series that looked pretty good (and not
all that "basic"). Whaddya think?

I own one. They are fun. You can play one string at a time, and with practice
you can jump from string to string pretty easily. You could also do something
like play a trill with your left hand on one string and slowly swell another
string with the E-Bow (i.e. the Foxy Lady intro.)
You can use them to imitate backwards guitar (i.e. the "Ah Via Musicom"/
"Cliffs of Dover" intro)
You can use them to imitate feedback (i.e. the "I feel fine" intro)
 
Dam but you can play alot of intros with these buggers! ;-)
 
I use mine to play long sustaining tones that change tone color over time.
Bill Nelson (of Be Bop Deluxe/Red Noise/Cocteau Records fame) used them
quite a bit in the early to mid-'80s.

  Thanks!!!  I've been working on this one ever since the concert.  But since  
my only recording of it is on a 7.5" open reel, it's a little tedious!  I'm

   Hey, let's all go get Slash and string him up.  I mean, he's NOT a
technical genious so he doesn't deserve to live, right?!

   I like Slash's playing and even though I don't think he's the best
in the world, I feel obliged to defend him a bit.

   It seems every technial-genious-wanna-be puts him down simply because
they can put into technical jargon what he plays (ie- "He just plays the
pentatonic scale in three positions, what a loser!" --or words to that
effect).  I think an "artist" is someone who uses a given medium to
express his/her feelings.  Slash, being a musician (musical artist),
expresses himself with his guitar.  He doesn't play so people can say:
"Wow, did you see how many different scales he played in?!  And the
number of different keys?!  And not a single time did he use an
unorthodox thumb position!! He's a *technical* genious!"  No, he plays
so people say: "Wow, that solo was just fabulous, the emotion was
overwhelming!" (tear in eye)  You can't ignore the fact that millions
of people around the globe love his playing.  Maybe if all the technical-
genious-wanna-be's re-evaluated what it's all about, they find that
Slash is a pretty damned good guitarist, and respected by other
major-band guitarists (geez, Aerosmith played on stage with 'em, Jeff
Beck was (but got sick), Soundgarden's lead guitarist has said how much
he admires Slash's playing, the list goes on...).

If you like the Fender Lace sensors why not dump your Am Std and buy a
Strat+? For the cost of 3 FLS ($180?) you can finance most of the cost
difference. Living in Philly there should be plenty of eligible buyers.

If you want some real claws, just take gelatin tabs. I guess you could suck

This is a simplification. Yes, classical musicians, when playing
a piece written 200 years ago (let's see, that would be late 1700's,
right before romanticism), are expected to hit most of the notes on
the page. But there's always room for interpretation of a written
score (dynamics, rubato etc). Also, there are situations where musicians
are only given harmonic frameworks, or in the case of the classical
concerto, whole sections where soloists improvise (cadenzas).

However, what you usually hear these days in concert and on records
are cadenzas that have been written out. Many of the standard ones
might have been provided by the original composer, or based on
an improvisation (or composition) by a famous performer of the past.

>On the other hand, blues and jazz musicians are *expected* to improvise:
>if they don't, they are labelled as "boring" and "un-original", rather than
>"accurate".

In jazz and blues, compositions are usually just minimal frameworks for
musicians to improvise in. That's the *idea* behind traditional jazz
and blues. There are, of course, jazz musicians who are revered for
their compositions. But a jazz composition generally specifies parameters
that are different from, say, the Chopin piano sonata #3 in B minor.

>There isn't really any logic to this; it's a question of integrity and

Kind of. It's a question of what you claim you are basing your
performance on. Are you playing a composition? Then what are the parameters
specified by the composition, and what are the parameters that you can
vary? To what extent are you following the parameters fixed by the
composition? If you are deviating from some of the "rules" set by the
composition, are you still playing the composition?

If I claim that I'm playing Chopin's 3rd piano sonata, the first note
I hit better be G (and the *right* G). But if I claim I am playing
"Take the A Train", I don't have to do it in the original key (C),
or even start the piece with the fifth of the key, because those are
not the parameters fixed by the tune.

>Many people believe that live music is always "better" than mimed

This is a completely different issue, of course.

You are correct, what I have is a CD. The artwork and photographs certainly
looked like late 60's/early 70's stuff, but there is _no_ date on the recording
except for 1990. I'm sure you're correct that this is a '70 recording, but
I'm curious why it wouldn't say so somewhere. The only dates look like:


	(P) 1990 Original Sound Recordings made by EMI Records, Ltd.
			(C) 1990 EMI Records Ltd.


It is confusing, particularly after seeing Syd's picture on the album sleeve
(looks in his 20's) compared to his more current picture in the book "A 
Saucerfull of Secrets - The Pink Floyd Odyssey" (40ish, balding, etc...).

As a newcomer to this field and a technically (electronic) intrested

Where can I buy one? I was told that they exist in the States.
How much do they cost and finally is it possible to use on a
acoustic guitar?

I've already answered once...  I think I suggested a strat or some such,
but that you should shop around.

Another thought occurred to me.  Don't buy this guitar thinking it will be
your only guitar.  In time, you'll want more.  You may buy a guitar that
you decide you don't want to keep.  You may buy a guitar that you'll play
for years.  Different guitars seem to bring out different ideas and styles...

Bottom line: don't act like this is the decision of a lifetime.
