David Laibman - Playing The Classic Rags - 2 DVD Set
It is its' own story -
not an imitation of a piano, or of a dixieland or jazz band. It is simply -
ragtime guitar. In these lessons I have tried to meet two goals. First, to
create versions of some of the most beautiful classical rags that 'lay down'
well on guitar - so that when you play them you are working with the instrument,
not fighting it. I have tried to arrange the pieces so that a lot of the action
is in first position rather than high up on the neck and to keep left-hand
gymnastics to a minimum. Second, I didn't want
these arrangements to sound like 'student' arrangements, too elementary to be
believable. It is all about striking a balance. I am pleased with the results
and I think you will be too! While the focus of these lessons is on the 'greats'
including: Scott Joplin's "Original Rags" and "The Entertainer",
Joseph Lamb's "Contentment Rag" and "Ragtime Nightingale", and
James Scott's "Ragtime Oriole" - I have also included one of my
own recent compositions: "Pandora's Rag".

Paul Mehling - Gypsy Jazz Guitar: Django Style Rhythm - Vol I - DVD
They don't call it "hot
guitar" for nothing! The driving style pioneered by Django Reinhardt and other
Gypsy players became one of the dominant sounds in jazz during the thirties and forties,
and its' influence is still strongly felt today. Paul Mehling knows the style as well as
anyone, and he takes it apart in detail for the learning player. A band won't swing without
a strong rhythm section, and the powerful guitar accompaniment that typifies the Gypsy style
is the foundation of this terrific lesson. Starting with basic four-to-the-bar comping and damping,
Paul takes you through a variety of accompaniment ideas: arpeggios, "splayed"
chords, "the gallop," chord tremolo, right hand speed and other advanced
techniques. You'll gain an understanding of the particular harmonic structures of
this music through chord voicings, progressions, and accompaniments to classics
such as "Minor Blues, Oriental Shuffle and I'll See You In My Dreams".
Paul also provides invaluable advice on learning from recordings, use of the
metronome, and a look at his rare Maurice DuPont guitars. Includes some hot
jamming with Paul and Tony Mandraccia, rhythm guitar.

Howard Roberts - The Praxis System: Guitar Compendium - Vol 1 - Book
Guitar instruction books are traditionally written in a progressive
fashion - Book 1 first, then Book 2 etc. However, the selection and sequencing of material is usually determined by
the book rather than the reader and the familiar result is that while the book progresses, the student doesn't. The Praxis
System reverses this. You don't have to start with Book 1! You go where your interests lie. Just begin working on any subject
in any volume that attracts you. Because Praxis is a modular system, it can be re-assembled into many different combinations.
These different combinations of units can answer both varying curricular needs as well as individual interests! Titles include:
Style & Craft: Inventory of the Basic Moves * Inventory of the Basic Moves (continued) * Troubleshooting:
Preliminary Questions * Further Questions * The Finger Map: Chords * The Linear Conception of Harmony * Chord Construction
and Control * Chord Transformation * The Harmonized Scale * Chord Progressions Through the Individual Voice * Creative Directions *
Further Creative Directions.

Tom Wolfe - 50 Hard Bop Blues Guitar Licks You Must Know! - DVD
Wes Montgomery is most widely
known for the music he made during the 60's and for his signature approach for
improvisations, which usually began with single note passages, then an octave
solo section, finally culminating with a highly-charged chordal solo. His
seminal approach changed the landscape for ALL guitarists for ALL time. In this
collection, Tom Wolfe presents an extremely versatile vocabulary that not only
celebrates Wes Montgomery's contributions but also captures the stylings of the
blues and jazz guitarists that he influenced. Not only will Tom expand your
vocabulary, he will also reveal all of the underlying harmonic approaches and
techniques being applied: Major and minor blues scales, pentatonic applications,
applications for both the flatted and major 3rd, triplet ornamentations,
articulation, use of ghost notes, alternate fingerings, encapsulation, bending,
chromatic passing tones, ii-V lines, 6th intervals, octaves (of course!),
hemiola (the 3 against 4 feeling in a 4/4 time signature), tension and
resolution, color tones, pedal points, side-stepping, diminished voicings,
rhythmic intensity, syncopation, chordal soloing techniques and so much more!
All of the licks are presented over a rhythm track so that you can hear and
practice them in a musical context. Each performance is then followed by a
detailed breakdown of the line along with the techniques and harmonic approach
being employed to perform it. Everything is tabbed and notated, plus you get all
of the rhythm tracks to practice the lines with by yourself. Grab your guitar
and buckle up for this guided whirlwind tour back to the source of Hard Bop
Blues! Guitar Lab's innovative learning systems employ a hands-on approach where
students "play" their way through the curriculum using learning tools such as
PIP video, practice rhythm tracks, and interactive tab and notation, which
allows the student to play along with the tab and notation, at any tempo,
without change in Pitch!

Jimmy Wyble - The Art Of Two Line Improvisation - Book and Online Audio
This collection of etudes, written
during the 1970's, was composed as a result of Jimmy Wyble's explorations into the
musical worlds of counterpoint, harmony and chord melody improvisation for the jazz
guitar. The right and left hand fingerings presented in this book were also
developed as techniques needed to improvise jazz in two lines. Jimmy uses very
standard jazz guitar chord shapes in these etudes; however, these shapes move
through the harmony in lines rather than block chord structures. This broken
chord technique creates a unique contrapuntal sound that separates Jimmy from
the rest of the fingerstyle jazz guitar world. It is hoped that jazz and
classical guitarists playing and working through these etudes will see many
familiar chord shapes moving in new ways and creating new sounds. These new
harmonic sounds combined with beautiful melodies will inspire any guitarist to
new levels of musical creativity!
