Sword: Warp Riders [Reviews]
Ultimate-Guitar.Com &bull Yesterday
Sound: The Sword, the metal band out of Austin Texas that throws listeners off guard with their newest album, Warp Riders. The sound of the album is fantastic. Every song has perfect mixing, with guitar parts panned out to each headphone, and everything else sounding sharp in the stereo sound. Nothing is too loud, and no riff ever gets too murky. The instrumental song at the beginning, Acheron/Unleashing The Orb, showed this perfect mixing. The guitars on the album are wonderful. Not very often do metal bands throw in different styles with different distortion types. Take the song Lawless Lands,… Full Story »

Turning Practice Into Play (Part 2) - "Quick Change Chromatic Blues"
Guitar Noise &bull Sep 1, 2010
Here's a very cool single-guitar finger style instrumental blues piece that will teach you about driving, single note bass lines and creating cool melody lines and fills. There are all sorts of reasons to like the blues and all kinds of lessons that guitarists especially can learn from them. Playing the blues is a great way to develop a solid sense of timing and you can also use blues music as an excellent starting place for soloing and phrasing.

John Fogerty
Guitar Noise &bull Sep 1, 2010
In less than four years CCR had more hit songs that became classics than most guitarists can play. Pretty amazing considering one guy is responsible for it all. In January of 1970 The Beatles recorded their last song together. Around the same time radio stations were getting very serious about their new favorite band, a group of guys from the San Francisco area called Creedence Clearwater Revival who had just released their third album, "Willie and the Poor Boys" in November 1969 . Like the Beatles, CCR took inspiration from early rock n' roll pioneers like Elvis Presley and Little… Full Story »

Imitation Study Number 4 in A Minor
A Monk's Musical Musings &bull Sep 1, 2010
This is an interesting piece. It's a fugue with the answer on the subdominant and in inversion, and the initial statement of the subject has an accompaniment line. This was necessary because the subject begins on the third degree of the mode, which may very well be unique. I've never encountered another subject like this, anyway. Interestingly - to me - this is actually the very first fugue subject I ever came up with back in 1986 or 1987. I got the idea while studying… Full Story »
