Nobody Knows Im Famous
"Nobody Knows I'm Famous" is a frank and insightful book that illustrates what it means to be a prolific, eccentric, successful, and unknown musician in the twenty-first century. Guitarist Shawn Persinger came of age in the post-Warholian, pre-Internet 1980s. It was a time when success was measured by bank accounts and record sales, video airplay and magazine covers, home square footage and gossip column romances; a time when fame and fortune seemed promised to anyone who played guitar - though it didn't turn out that way for most. Fast forward 30 years: While producing a far-from-commercial, guitar quartet entitled Halloween Baptizm, Persinger began documenting his creative process with hop...

Halloween Baptizm
The "Halloween Baptizm" Suite is a revolutionary new work for a unique guitar quartet combination - 6-string, 12-string, Nylon, and Bass - that showcases and fosters new possibilities for guitarists of the 21st century. On the original recording, composer Shawn Persinger (a.k.a. Shawn Persinger is Prester John) performed all four of the guitar parts, reinforcing his reputation as both a virtuosic musician and inventive composer. Now this portfolio book makes the music accessible to all guitarists in search of music that is complex yet catchy, as well as challenging and fun to play. In addition to the notated scores (both in standard notation and tablature), Persinger has included copious composition and performance notes that will prove helpful to both guitarists and composers. With an attention to detail akin to the so-called "serious" composer, balanced with the reckless abandon of an enfant terrible brought up on punk, prog rock, and the avant-garde, Persinger's guitar work creates a radical new musical vocabulary, performed with grace, subtlety, and charm.
Uncharted
What do expert drummers do? Why do they do it? Is there anything creative about it? If so, how might that creativity inform their practice and that of others in related artistic spheres? Applying ideas from cultural psychology to findings from research into the creative behaviors of a specific subset of popular music instrumentalists, Bill Bruford demonstrates the ways in which expert drummers experience creativity in performance and offers fresh insights into in-the-moment interactional processes in music. An expert practitioner himself, Dr. Bruford draws on a cohort of internationally renowned, peak-career professionals and his own experience to guide the reader through the many dimensions of creativity in drummer performance.

Failure to Fracture
When progressive rock band King Crimson released Starless and Bible Black in 1974, very few recognized the astonishing virtuosity captured in the album's 11-minute instrumental capstone, "Fracture." Three minutes into the piece, guitarist Robert Fripp begins playing a quiet, non-stop barrage of notes called a "moto perpetuo," an Italian term for "perpetual motion." Fripp's moto perpetuo requires intense right-hand string-skipping, and picking capabilities only a handful of guitarists around the world possess. Musician Anthony Garone was challenged by his father to learn Fracture in 1998. As a 16-year-old who practiced six or more hours every day, he could not understand why he could play oth...
