TrueFire on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/TrueFire
Virtuoso acoustic wizard and fingerstyle master, Tim Sparks presents Fingerstyle Roots, Rags & Blues, an insightful exploration of Early Americana Roots music and intensive fingerstyle study program for intermediate and advanced students. Fingerstyle Roots, Rags & Blues covers Delta Blues, Country Gospel, New Orleans, Ragtime, Early Jazz and the most amazing version of “The Mississippi Blues” that we’ve ever seen performed or heard here at TrueFire.
The tunes in this collection evoke a time when American Roots music crystallized and was transformed by the effects of recordings and radio. Some of these selections were written for guitar, others are adaptations from piano and jazz band arrangements. A long list of Roots Music fingerstyle guitarists particularly influenced the material covered in Fingerstyle Roots, Rags & Blues; Duck Baker, Pat Donohue, Woody Mann, Steve James, Eric Lugosch, Eric Schonberg, Ernie Hawkins, Dakota Dave Hull, Phil Heywood, Guy van Duser, Lasse Johansson, Andy Ellis and Teja Gerken.
Tim Sparks has been redefining the acoustic guitar repertoire since he won the US National Fingerstyle Championship in 1993 with a ground-breaking arrangement of Tchaikovskys Nutcracker Suite. Since then, Sparks has continued to surprise, challenge, and thrill audiences with his diverse repertoire and stunning technique. Equally at home within the Country Blues, Ragtime, Jazz or World Music genres, Sparks extraordinary ability to adapt virtually any music to the solo guitar has earned him an international reputation as one of the most innovative guitarists working today.
Sparks has seven solo CDs to his credit including The Nutcracker Suite, One String Leads to Another and Guitar Bazaar on Peter Fingers Acoustic Music Records. He has also recorded four projects for John Zorns Tzadik label, Neshamah, Tanz, At the Rebbes Table and Masada Guitars, (with Bill Frisell and Marc Ribot).
Fingerstyle Roots, Rags & Blues presents two completely different arrangements of “Amazing Grace,” a rendition of Mother Maybelle Carter’s “Victory Rag” and early Jazz and Blues by the likes of Jelly Roll Morton, Scott Joplin and Eubie Blake. Sparks breaks down each tune, passage by passage, in detailed video explanations, notation and tabs that not only allow you to play the songs, but also gives you a treasure trove of chord voicings, licks, scales and turnarounds to use in your playing.
Fingerstyle Roots, Rags & Blues is optimized for intermediate to advanced players and is presented on 2 CD-ROMs (Windows and Mac compatible). The course features 34 full-length video lessons, text overviews, standard notation and interactive Power Tab so you can “see” and “hear” the tab and notation played out at any tempo. TrueFire’s video lesson player features zoom, frame advance, looping and other handy controls.

Can you learn to play guitar on an electric guitar?
Author: admin // Category: Learn To Play GuitarLooking to learn to play an instrument, thought guitar was a good choice. I know nothing about them currently, was wondering if you can start out using an electric guitar, or get a hollow guitar. Also, any recommendations on cheap, but viable guitars?
Hello there,
You can learn to play on either an acoustic or an electric guitar. They play the same. Some folks believe you should start with an acoustic. Others say the electric is easier to play and you should start with that. There are good and bad points in the arguments made by both sides.
My own opinion is you should start with whichever you want to play most. If your interest is primarily in electric guitar, you should start with it.
I also believe you should start with a used guitar because you can get a higher quality guitar for the same amount of money you would spend on a new guitar. Check your local want ads, Craigslist and eBay for good deals. Smaller guitar shops tend to have more used guitars than the big chain stores. You can sometimes find a decent starter guitar in a pawn shop.
If you want an acoustic, Takamine Jasime is good. So are Fender Squier. There are lots of good starter guitars. But those are 2 of the less expensive ones that are decent.
If you want an electric. Chose between the 2 main styles Les Paul or Stratocaster. If you want a Les Paul style guitar, Epiphone is the best of the cheaper ones. If you want a Strat, you have more choices. Fender Squier is all right. I like the Squier Standard a lot better than the Bullet and Affinity series. Ibanez makes a cheap Strat type guitar. Peavey does also. Any of those would be decent starter guitars.
One thing to remember with the electric, is that you need a decent amp. Most beginners underestimate the importance of the amp and speakers. You will only sound as good as your amp and speakers. Get a decent one. Find a used 1×12 (or 2×12) combo amp. A combo is where the amplifier and speaker is in the same cabinet. The 1×12 means it has one 12 inch speaker. Look for the best deal you can find on a Fender, Vox, Peavey,Create, Marshall or Line 6. A used 1×12 combo from any of those will be good.

What effects pedal would be best for a clean blues guitar sound?
Author: admin // Category: Blues GuitarI’ve got reverb and a compressor/sustainer already. I’m not really wanting distortion or a driver so much as just a more dynamic, clean sound.
for undistorted blues, if you want everything i’ve heard by other musicians, you want chorus, delay (short, slap-back), and maybe wah. i think wah typically sounds better distorted with blues though.
