Easy Guitar (with TAB) - Level 1 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1163675 Composed by Brian Streckfus. Instructional,Singer/Songwriter. Tablature. 1 pages. Brian Streckfus #764016. Published by Brian Streckfus (A0.1163675). This study/etude makes modes a much more fun and practical exploration, rather than feeling like abstract theory. Also, since all seven are used in the key of C major, this study/etude allows someone to quickly memorize how modes work. The modes are diffucult to memorize because of their foreign names. This makes this piece have great replay value since it will take a few run throughs to memorize them. Tips:1. Each mode has one special note. It is a great exercise to figure them out. For example, the B natural in D dorian sections is the special note. This B natural should have been a Bb in the key of regular D minor.2. This piece is a good example of what I like to call half step gravity. For example, in measure 12, the B has more gravity to go to C than A because C is closer. B to C would be a half step. B to A would be a whole step.3. This piece is a good example of bass notes setting the tone and vibe. I invite performers to change the bass notes to see what I mean. For example, a constant C bass note would lead to a problem free sound, whereas a constant B bass note leads to a more uncomfortable metal music sound.4. This piece is a good example of how we hear a chord from the bass note on up. For example, an E minor chord with a B in the bass might actually function more like a B7 with suspended notes.5. This piece is a good example of a perfect authentic cadence (PAC) with a final A minor chord tonic (home) chord with an A in the bass and soprano voices.

Guitar - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1150935 Composed by Matteo Carcassi. Arranged by Brian Streckfus. Classical. Guitar Tab. 4 pages. Brian Streckfus #751121. Published by Brian Streckfus (A0.1150935). Important: This include two versions, a heavily notated version, and a blank version.1. Added tablature. 2. Fingerings added (Counterintuitive fingerings are left blank for the performer to realize first hand that it will be an awkard passage).3. Chord nomenclature added4. Fonts made larger and more appealing5. Position and Bar markings addedTips:1. Measure 13 is a good example of melodic minor as scale degrees 6 and 7 are rasied by a half step on an upward scale run, and then lowered on the way back down.2. Measures 23-27 is an example of a sequence. I recommend making the catchiness and repetition as obvious as possible as the audience is expecting the sequence to complete. For example, if there is a slur happening on a certain beat, I'll make sure it is mantained for every repetition, which is why measure 20 is more difficult with a fretted B instead of an open string. It's more work, but it sounds better to my ears.3. There is a certain order that the right hand fingers should be following depending on if you are going to thicker or thinner strings. Since this is an etude designed to get a player used to classical guitar technique, it made sense to show the a novice finger-style player which right hand fingers to use and when. Example: 2nd thinnest to thinnest string...Should be i m...not m iTo Do:1. Theoretical explanations in the score? Especially on the heavily notated version?

Easy Guitar (with TAB) - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1163698 Composed by Brian Streckfus. Classical,Contemporary,Instructional,Romantic Period. Tablature. 1 pages. Brian Streckfus #764039. Published by Brian Streckfus (A0.1163698). It is rare to find something that tests someones dynamics knowledge while relating to guitar, so I composed such a piece. Its genre is modern, classical and romantic. It personally reminds me of Chopin in harmonic language. Tips:1. I believe the volume indicated reflects the chord quality quite well. For example, a Gmaj7 or augmented chord sounds bad loud because they are sleepy and dreamy chords.2. The Ab/C chord in measure 15 is a Neopolitan chord in the key of G major. 3. This piece takes advantage of a key well suited for guitar: E minor. 4. This piece is a good example of a composing technique where you keep notes the same between chords, having little concern for how complex of a chord name that results.5. Rolling the chords is okay and often sounds quite good.

Dr. LeRoy Henry #811555. Published by Dr. LeRoy Henry (A0.1214573). Lazy Bird by Pat Martino was written by John Coltrane and was first released by John Coltrane in  1957. Pat Martino released it on the 1968 album East! Despite the title and the cover of this CD  reissue (which makes it appear that the performances are greatly influenced by music of the Far East),  the style played by guitarist Pat Martino's quartet is very much in the hard bop tradition. Martino was  already developing his own sound and is in excellent form with pianist Eddie Green, drummer Lenny  McBrowne, and either Ben Tucker or Tyrone Brown on bass during two group originals, Benny  Golson's Park Avenue Petite, John Coltrane's Lazy Bird, and the standard Close Your Eyes.  It's a good example of Pat Martino's playing in his early period.
