England's John Zaradin is a gifted performer both in jazz and in the field of classic guitar. He is especially knowledgeable in the wide and diverse world of Latin American guitar solo and rhythm styles. This book contains six solos based on the Rumba Rhythm (Mosaico de Rumbas) and six solos in the Bossa-Samba mode (Ambientes Brasileiras). Each solo is scored in both notation and tablature and reflects the vitality, rhythm, and improvisatory nature of this idiom.
This book is a guide to some of the techniques needed for getting into latin jazz guitar. There are 5 independent sections: References and definition of terms; exercises and/or pieces which demonstrate various guitar techniques; examples of common Rasgueado patterns; the Riverboat Suite, studies for developing rhythmic ability and appreciation; and pieces in a variety of different Latin styles. the CD, used in conjunction with the written notation, tablature and chord symbols, gives a clear idea of what is required for players and teachers of all levels. It is assumed that the reader is familiar with guitar and music notation, but glossaries of terms are included for reference. There are a variety of patterns which are employed in the different styles of music; the examples show how to get into some basic forms. All the techniques described are playable on the fingerstyle guitar, and the pieces themselves are selected and arranged with performance in mind.
The book is presented with both music notation and guitar tablature staff so that fingering and fingerboard positions can be easily cross-referenced. the accompanying on-line audio recording allows the player immediately to appreciate the feel of the music of the New Wave Latin Guitar. Chord symbols are shown to indicate background voice leadings and harmony. In creating songs or dances within the Latin/Jazz idiom, the composer is continually fine-tuning the music until he commits to print or sound recording. At this moment he has a version that is definitive for other musicians to see, hear and play. However, the earlier explorations are not forgotten and can be used in different performances of the music.
This anthology includes both new pieces and outstanding previously published fingerstyle tunes. Veteran performers and talented young upstarts are given a forum for their best work. Intermediate to advanced in difficulty with nearly all pieces appearing in standard notation with tablature. Includes access to extensive online audio.
