Charlie Byrd Guitar Stylings

Byrd, Charlie

Blues Sonata is a "swingin' blues" in sonata form, approximately 22 minutes long, recorded by the Charlie Byrd Trio. Also in this book are three "standard" jazz-blues pieces arranged and recorded by John Griggs. All of the works are written in both standard and tab notation. These pieces are designed for both performance and learning. The standards have a lead line, an arpeggio study, a chord scale study, and a four-chorus performance arrangement. The four-chorus arrangements follow a standard performance routine used in clubs and on stage. For variety, during the third chorus the teacher or another instrument can take the lead. These pieces can be played either fingerstyle or with a pick.

Blues Sonata and Jazz Standards for Guitar

Charlie Byrd JAZZ GUITAR WORKSHOP presents a melodic way of learning essential scales and arpeggios (in all 12 keys) which are then applied to pieces. The pieces are arranged in a Jazz style and are suitable for performance as well as for study. Three of the pieces have a lead line, an arpeggio study, a chord scale study, and a four-chorus performance arrangement. The four-chorus arrangements follow a standard performance routine used in clubs and on stage. For variety, during the 3rd chorus the teacher or another instrument can take the lead. To develop ear playing, you can practice the scale and arpeggio studies daily, until you can play them in all keys fluently. Playing "pick style" and "finger style" are both advocated in this book. The music is in notation and tablature.

The Films of Gregory Peck

In an outstanding career, spanning four decades and reflecting something of the history of the American film industry itself, Gregory Peck has carved out a screen person that is mirrored as well in both his private life and his public concerns. If, as critic Richard Schickel has observed, there is some thing "Lincolnesque" in Peck's character (and in his stature) on screen and off, it is probably that integrity which we tend to regard as particularly American: an ability to see a higher good above purely personal considerations. Over the years Gregory Peck has given both of his talents and himself. 
 The films of Gregory Peck is the complete record of one of the most unusual and most respected performers in the film world...
