Here we see Frank and Andreas jam Minor Swing in the key of A minor. Both Frank and Andreas approaches to harmony and rhythm at the start of this tune typify the Gypsy jazz style plenty of diminished and chromatic phrases bolstered by tight, driving rhythms comprised of sparse yet complex chord voicings.
Later in the performance, we hear Andreas introduce more blues-based note choices with Frank following suit with his chord voicings and rhythms. Frank then explores a few blues phrases before the boys break into a classically-themed section, illustrating just how far the Gypsy jazz style can be taken. The piece wraps things up while exploring a more traditional approach.

TrueFire Guitar Lessons for Beginners - Learn in 21 Days! - Play 1000 Songs

Wednesday, August 26th, 2009

FULL COURSE TO BE RELEASED ON TrueFire - http://www.truefire.com

Learn to play guitar and 1,000 songs in just 3 weeks! Sounds like one of those late-night infomercials, huh? If you’ve ever tried to learn how to play guitar only to lay it down in frustration, this claim may be particularly unbelievable. Well, here’s the deal…

First off, we’re not promising that you’ll become the next Eddie Van Halen in 21 days. In fact, we’re not even going to teach you how to “solo” or play lead guitar (those guitar lessons come later). But we are going to teach you all you need to know to play hundreds of your favorite songs on guitar — 8 simple chords, a few simple strums and a basic understanding of how music works.

Did you know that thousands and thousands of popular songs can be played with 8 chords or less? In fact, learn the A chord, D chord and E chord and you’ll be able to play hundreds of popular blues and rock songs. Dig folk songs? Add hundreds more to your repertoire.

That’s the “trick” behind this course. We’re not going to make you struggle through tedious theory or exercises. You don’t need to know how to read or write music. You’ll simply play along with the instructor following a 21 day video lesson plan. You’ll learn new chords and strums along the way, which you can immediately start using to play songs.

Your guitar guru over these 21 days is singer, songwriter and guitar player extraordinaire - Ravi. Ravi is uniquely qualified to teach you how to play guitar. Ravi has played on the world’s biggest stages, made dozens of TV appearances and has even performed at a White House Christmas Party. More to the point of this course, Ravi has taught thousands of people how to play and enjoy guitar.

Why is this entire, full-length video guitar course free to you? Good question. Easy answer. If we get you up and running and put a smile on your face, you’ll likely stick around and spend some real green on some of our other courses.

So where do you find the songs? Ravi will reference a song list during the course. This song list can be found at TrueFire’s Song Library Forum and is organized by the number of chords in the song. You’ll note that this is a “live” list being updated frequently with new songs so stay tuned to those pages. There are dozens of great “easy guitar” songbooks that you can buy in stores or online. There’s also tons of downloadable songs with lyrics and chords all over the Internet. Just Google your favorite tunes. Or try Googling “song lyrics and chords.”

There’s also a ton of great stuff for you in TrueFire’s Beginner’s Hang Forum. Pick up on more chord charts, some easy theory lessons, and lots of great advice from some very knowledgeable guitar players and instructors.

OK, enough babbling. Grab your guitar and dig in!

1-6 Andy Timmons - Guitar Lesson For Beginner

Monday, August 24th, 2009

Andy Timmons
As guitarist for pop-metal band Danger Danger, he toured the world opening for Kiss and Alice Cooper, sold over a million records worldwide, and had two #1 videos on MTV, plus amassing a discography that includes 7 solo releases that range from blazing guitar instrumentals, to blues, and even a Beatles/Elvis Costello-inspired collection of pop tunes.

As a session player, he’s been highly featured on CDs by drumming legend Simon Phillips, a live CD with Olivia Newton-John (Andy has been her music director/guitarist for several U.S. tours), two internationally acclaimed CDs by Kip Winger, recording sessions for Paula Abdul, Paul Stanley, and countless radio and television jingles. He has also played alongside many of his heroes such as Steve Vai and Joe Satriani (as a regular guest on their G3 tours in Dallas), Eric Johnson, Steve Morse, Mike Stern, Ace Frehley, Ted Nugent, and Pierre Bensusan, as well as some of his fave ’60’s singing stars such as the Beach Boys, Lesley Gore, and Gordon Waller (of Peter and Gordon fame!)

Andy’s musical career began in his hometown of Evansville, Indiana at the age of 13 with his first band, Taylor Bay. Early on, I realized that making it in a rock band was such a long-shot, that I better figure out other ways of making a living playing guitar. I began reading about players like Steve Lukather and Larry Carlton who made their living as session musicians. This really appealed to me, since I really loved a wide variety of musical styles.

The decision to pursue the studio scene led him to more serious music studies. He studied classical guitar for two years before moving to Miami to study jazz guitar at the University of Miami (largely because the Dixie Dregs, Pat Metheny, and Jaco Pastorius had all gone there). He eventually ended up in Dallas where he was very fortunate to get a foot in the door of a very good studio scene. In 1988, the Andy Timmons band was formed and he quickly gained a following in Texas. Around that time, Epic recording artists Danger Danger recruited him to finish their debut record, film several videos, and begin touring.

After 4 years in New York with Danger Danger, Andy returned to Dallas in 1993 to resume his studio career and the Andy Timmons Band. His first solo release, ear X-tacy, was released in 1994 to critical acclaim followed 1997’s ear X-tacy 2. He then released Pawn Kings (1997), Orange Swirl (1998), The Spoken and the Unspoken (1999), and And-thology 1 & 2 (2000). In 2001 Andy signed with Favored Nations and released his first international record, That Was Then, This is Now, a compliation of the first two ear X-tacy records and and five new tracks. Resolution (2006) marks Andy’s first full-length new release for Favored Nations.

Andy has been consistently voted a Top 20 Favorite Guitarist in most of Japan’s rock music magazine’s reader polls, as well as being voted Musician of the Year four years in a row in the acclaimed Dallas Observer Music Awards. He also has become one of the most respected and sought after clinicians representing Ibanez Guitars, touring the world on their behalf.
