<description><![CDATA[When you’re single, there isn’t a chick in sight. When you’re in a committed relationship, there are]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>When you’re single, there isn’t a chick in sight. When you’re in a committed relationship, there are girls everywhere. Have you experienced this before? Again, we would just curse our luck. Why was fate working against us?</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s probably the reason why. Everyone puts a higher value on the things that are difficult to get. We put a higher value on platinum and precious jewels, which are not necessities but are very difficult to get, yet we don’t put a high value on air, which is required for our survival but is all around us, easy to acquire, and free.</p>
<p>When I was always around and easy to acquire, I wasn’t valued much. But once I was difficult to get, because I had other things going on, women knew that I wasn’t going after them, and that in order to get me they would have to work for me. I had other things going on in my life,  and they wanted to be a part of it.</p>
<p>I would tell them, &#8220;Hey, I don’t really want to complicate my life right now.&#8221; Probably that would get them away but believe me that doesn&#8217;t happen all the time.</p>
<p>The more distance I tried to put between them, the more they tried to bridge the distance. I began to realize that, sometimes, the key to getting women is to honestly be doing something else. Then, they will often knock each other over to get to you, haha.</p>
<p>The cool thing is that, if they don’t come running after you, at least you have accomplished something else.</p>
<p>So throw yourself into a major goal. Be a <strong><em>Renaissance Man</em></strong>. Write the next great novel. Throw yourself into school. Appreciate music. Take up property investment. No time that you spend doing these things is wasted, and it just might end up making the women come to you instead of the other way around for once!</p>
<p><em>Here&#8217;s 3 brilliant musicians doing the Renaissance. Fantastic.</em></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;">Sicuramente un appuntamento importante, quello di «Catania Jazz» con Al Di Meola. O no? Ci sarete al teatro Metropolitan di Catania oggi, lunedì sedici novembre, per «World Sinfonia»? Buono il lavoro del direttore artistico, Pompeo Benincasa? E Catania è «sempre più brutta, incasinata, povera e corrotta, non solo economicamente», come ha sostenuto lo stesso Benincasa?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>09.11.09 &#8211; Ellington.</strong><em> Shakespeare in jazz</em>?! Ma che cosa ha inventato l&#8217;attore Giorgio Albertazzi? Sappiate che è ospite di <em>Retroscena</em>, il programma televisivo di <a href="www.tv2000.it" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>Tv2000</strong></span></a> sul teatro e&#8230; Ci saranno in onda con Michele Sciancalepore anche i suoni di Duke Ellington o i versi di Rimbaud? E si vedranno Amii Stewart e Serena Autieri dalle otto di sera di lunedì nove novembre? Nella stessa serata (nove e dieci) c&#8217;è anche Marco Paolini su una tv nazionale con il suo spettacolo <em>Miserabili</em> dal porto di Taranto. Vi &#8220;conquista&#8221; l&#8217;attore Paolini? Molto?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>07.08.09 </strong>Ma chi sono? Li conoscete forse? Venerdì sette agosto a Villa Zottopera, a Chiaramonte Gulfi (provincia di Ragusa), gli «Uhf Ultra High Flamenco» per <span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong><a href="www.notedinotte.it     " target="_blank"><em>Note di notte</em></a></strong></span>.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>16.07.09</strong> Pronti per la «Catania Jazz Marathon»? Andrete all’Anfiteatro di <a href="http://calogeromira.wordpress.com/2009/07/12/un-corso-sul-valore-dimpresa-a-tremestieri-etneo" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>Tremestieri etneo</strong></span></a>? Si, no, forse? E solo giovedì 16 luglio o anche venerdì 17, sabato 18 e domenica 19? In ogni caso sappiate, comunque, che il 16 ci saranno <a href="www.myspace.com/rosaliadesouzampb" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>Rosalia de Souza</strong></span></a>, il trio di <a href="www.myspace.com/sebyburgio" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>Seby Burgio</strong></span></a> con Antonella Leotta e la banda brasiliana di <a href="www.myspace.com/manolamicalizzi" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>Manola Micalizzi</strong></span></a>. Il 17 luglio, invece, sarà la volta del trio di <a href="www.myspace.com/claudioquartaronemusic" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>Claudio Quartarone</strong></span></a>, dei cosiddetti «Slash» e del nuovo sestetto di <a href="www.paolodamiani.com" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>Paolo Damiani</strong></span></a> e di <a href="www.salvatorebonafede.com/01.ITA/01.bio.html" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>Salvatore Bonafede</strong></span></a>.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Infine, scritto questo, una domanda. Se andrete, sceglierete l’abbonamento a ventidue euro per quattro serate o il biglietto singolo ad undici?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>San Giovanni Galerno. </strong>Frequentatori del sito Vivicatania? Appassionati di musica? Sappiate – ma forse già lo sapete – che <a href="www.myspace.com/gaiamattiuzzi " target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>Gaia Mattiuzzi</strong></span></a> &#8211; una cantante che sinceramente  non conosco &#8211; si esibirà per un «Improvised Sicilian Tour» alla Villa Sant’Andrea di San Giovanni Galerno (via San Giovanni battista 3) con ingresso libero. Naturalmente alle 22 di domenica 19 luglio, se siete nottambuli… Se, invece, vivete a <a href="http://calogeromira.wordpress.com/category/europa-europe/ue-eu/italia-italy-italien/sicilia-sicily-sizilien/provincia-di-ragusa-ragusa-und-umgebung-%e2%80%93-ragusa-and-nearby-pres-de-raguse" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>Ragusa</strong></span></a>, sappiate che la Mattiuzzi sarà lì alle 20 di sabato 18&#8230;</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>I&#8217;m surprised to have found a video clip of a lesson, by the great jazz/fusion guitarist  <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Di_Meola">Al Di Meola</a>, with an open HBD-related aside.</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/2HIY_IPIvCI&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/2HIY_IPIvCI&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>You have to scroll to around minute 2:35 to hear the comment in its context.  In short, Al Di Meola states that Asians and European Caucasians are unlikely to be able to play against the time.  Playing against the time involves one keeping a basic beat, without the aid of a metronome or other device, and being able to play radically different rhythms without swaying from that beat.</p>
<p>I follow a lot of guitar playing, and what Di Meola says seems to be true.  Do you think it is true?  And if so, what could be a potential HBD basis for it?</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Banda da Semana: Al Di Meola</p>
<p>A Banda da semana de hoje é na verdade um músico, o guitarrista Al Di Meola, que ja tocou na banda de Chick Corea, Return to Fever entre outras. A muito tempo dedica-se a carreira solo, que não é conhecida do grande público, mais tem enorme peso entre o público especializado do Fusion, Jazz e afins.</p>
<p>Meola nasceu na cidade de New Jersey nos EUA, em 1954, portanto tem hoje 55 anos. Em 1971 ingressou na renomada escola musical Beerkle College of Music em Boston, onde se formou no seu instrumento.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.sbgnyc.com/800px-Al_di_meola.jpg" alt="" width="458" height="342" /></p>
<p>Ja Fez participações com músicos altamente consagrados, como Paco de Lucia e John Mclaughlin. Se Estilo Baseia-se no Jazz e no Fusion, com forte influência da música latina e flamenca.</p>
<p>Di Meola, apesar de desconhecido do grande público, é citado várias vezes em entrevistas de músicos, tais como Steve Vai, Michael Romeo e John Petrucci.</p>
<p>Abaixo dois vídeos do mestre, o primeiro da música Kiss my Axe, e o segundo da música Egyptian danza. Aproveitem!</p>

<description><![CDATA[Fonte: &#8220;Ilgiornale.it&#8220; di Duccio Pasqua La stagione del nuovo Auditorium tra grandi arti]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Fonte: &#8220;<a href="http://www.ilgiornale.it/roma/un_lou_reed_metallico_e_baglioni_natalizio/09-10-2009/articolo-id=389501-page=0-comments=1&#38;PRINT=S" target="_blank">Ilgiornale.it</a>&#8220;</p>
<p>di Duccio Pasqua</p>
<p><em>La stagione del nuovo Auditorium tra grandi artisti, emergenti, laboratori e novità per gli amanti dei libri</em><br />
Un raro Lou Reed «metallico». Un inusuale Baglioni natalizio. E poi il grande jazz, le orchestre, i progetti originali e le «carte bianche». L’Auditorium si affaccia alla nuova stagione con un programma estremamente ricco, che farà la gioia dei musicofili di ogni genere (e non solo). Raccontare tutto è impossibile: centinaia di eventi già in programma da oggi alla fine di luglio, più altri ancora in fase di organizzazione. Le star della musica italiana: Carmen Consoli, Elio e le Storie Tese, Gino Paoli, Cristiano De Andrè e un quintuplo Claudio Baglioni (dal 25 al 30 dicembre).  <!--more--><br />
I big internazionali: Lou Reed, che a maggio proporrà un concerto per sola chitarra, per celebrare lo storico album Metal machine music; poi Mark Knopfler, Peter Hammill, Joss Stone. Naturalmente, il miglior jazz in circolazione: l’8 novembre si apre il Roma Jazz Festival, con il concerto di Stefano Bollani, e poi arriveranno Sonny Rollins, Pat Metheny, Bobby McFerrin, John Scofield, Diana Krall, Jamie Cullum. E tra i protagonisti della stagione ci sarà Enrico Rava, curatore del nuovo progetto «Parco della Musica Jazz Lab», autentica fucina per i nuovi talenti del jazz italiano, che esporterà progetti originali dall&#8217;Auditorium verso altre manifestazioni, come l’European Jazz Expo di Cagliari (a novembre) e Umbria Jazz Winter a Orvieto. Il Jazz Lab diventa a tutti gli effetti la quarta orchestra stabile, che si affianca alle veterane PMJO e OPI (l’orchestra popolare di Sparagna) e alla giovane PMCE, ovvero «Parco della Musica Contemporanea Ensemble». «Tra le novità più rilevanti &#8211; spiega l’amministratore delegato Carlo Fuortes &#8211; c’è l’appuntamento di marzo con &#8220;Libri come&#8221;, una vera e propria festa del libro e della lettura che vedrà la partecipazione dei più celebri autori e artisti del panorama internazionale. Siamo anche felici di attribuire due premi: nell’ambito del Festival della Nuova Danza verrà consegnato il &#8220;Premio Equilibrio&#8221;, mentre in ambito teatrale nascerà il &#8220;Premio Vertigine&#8221;, curato da Giorgio Barberio Corsetti. Naturalmente seguiremo con attenzione i nuovi talenti, non tanto per motivi filantropici, ma perché siamo convinti che su di loro si basi il futuro di una struttura come l’Auditorium. Non è un caso che &#8220;Generazione X&#8221; diventi un vero e proprio festival, concentrato in cinque giorni».<br />
Anche la nuova stagione sarà arricchita da numerosi appuntamenti fissi: le «Lezioni di rock» con Assante e Castaldo, gli «Incontri d’autore», le Lezioni di musica, di storia e di giornalismo, e poi i festival delle Scienze, il Natale all’Auditorium con il Festival Gospel, la rassegna «Cantando sotto la storia» curata dal presidente Gianni Borgna, le mostre d’arte. Se l’anno scorso è stato dedicato alla rassegna sul basso, quest’anno protagonista sarà la chitarra, con concerti dei già citati Metheny, Knopfler e Lou Reed, ma anche di Vernon Reid (Living Colour), Bill Frisell, John McLaughlin, Mike Stern, Marc Ribot, Al Di Meola, Tuck &#38; Patti.<br />
Ci sarà la musica contemporanea, con gli spettacoli di Philip Glass, Steve Reich e Arvo Pärt. E non mancherà l’attività della «Parco della Musica Records», etichetta dell’Auditorium, pronta a sfornare altri dischi jazz di alto livello.<br />
Dopo sette anni di crescita continua, dunque, la struttura romana continua a offrire una programmazione di notevole qualità. Un ottimo inizio per superare il record di 1.300.000 spettatori conseguito l’anno scorso.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;">Il Friday Night in San Francisco fu una spettacolare jam session di tre tra i più grandi chitarristi viventi, riuniti in concerto al Warfield Theatre di San Francisco il venerdì notte del 5 dicembre 1980: l&#8217;americano Al Di Meola, l&#8217;inglese John McLaughlin e lo spagnolo Paco De Lucia, i primi due provenienti dal jazz e dalla fusion, il terzo dal flamenco. Il risultato è un album &#8220;magico&#8221; con alternanza di sonorità di grande fascino alternate a momenti di eccelso virtuosismo con un susseguirsi di incredibili assoli.</p>

<description><![CDATA[A revista Time fez recentemente uma lista com os 10 melhores guitarristas de todos os tempos. A list]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>A revista Time fez recentemente uma <a href="http://www.time.com/time/photogallery/0,29307,1916544_1921910,00.html">lista</a> com os 10 melhores guitarristas de todos os tempos. A lista é a seguinte:</p>
<blockquote><p><span style="font-size:medium;">01. Jimi Hendrix<br />
02. Slash<br />
03. B.B. King<br />
04. Keith Richards<br />
05. Eric Clapton<br />
06. Jimmy Page<br />
07. Chuck Berry<br />
08. Les Paul<br />
09. Yngwie Malmsteen<br />
10. Prince</span></p></blockquote>
<p>Estas coisas das listas dos melhores de sempre, têm sempre muito que se lhe diga. Eu tenho a certeza absoluta que o critério principal foi o gosto pessoal de quem fez a lista. Todos os rankings de guitarristas que vi até agora, têm o Jimi Hendrix no topo. E sempre será. Mas analisando as coisas friamente, ele é o melhor guitarrista de sempre? Eu nem me atrevo a contestar isto, é um lugar-comum. Se ele merece? Provavelmente sim, pôs a guitarra na ribalta e isso é muito. Aquilo que mais aprecio no Jimi hendrix são duas coisas que me faltam: um sentido rítmico apuradíssimo e a forma como misturava ritmos e  melodia, criando assim uma harmonia extraordinária, poucos conseguem criar tanta riqueza musical apenas com uma voz e guitarra. Em baixo estão dois exemplos daquilo que acabo de dizer. O segundo &#8220;Little Wing&#8221; é das minhas músicas preferidas, é de um bom gosto incrível e tem um solo que derrama feeling, como é de costume no Jimi Hendrix.</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/MfyBkv7-rFQ&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/MfyBkv7-rFQ&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/Nzjt7ekr2fk&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/Nzjt7ekr2fk&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>Muito disto passa pelo problema em homenagear pessoas vivas, ou que ainda estão a construir a lenda, tais como Steve Vai e Joe Satriani. Estes dois são absolutamente incontornáveis. Não se pode fazer uma lista dos melhores de sempre sem os incluírem.  A questão passa muito pelo critério, que além do goisto pessoal,  é a influência noutros músicos. Certamente o Hendrix é a maior referência nesse domínio. O próprio Satriani o admite e o elege como o melhor. Mas então  próprio Satriani não é uma influência? Absolutamente. Nem se questiona. A maior da minha geração, e essa quando fizer uma lista dos melhores guitarristas, vai incluir esse nome de certeza. Eu até uso uma guitarra do modelo dele, palhetas da mesma marca, cordas, etc. Não imito o som porque não tenho ouvido, talento e material para isso.</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/6yc8xyL0Xxo&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/6yc8xyL0Xxo&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/u3kWuTJsO_o&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/u3kWuTJsO_o&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>E quanto ao Steve Vai, é difícil ser influencia porque ninguém consegue tocar como ele. O Satriani é mais alcançável, não digo tecnicamente porque isso é outro campeonato, mas as harmonias, o uso de frases com muitos pull-off&#8217;s e hammer-on&#8217;s, o uso modo lidío que também é muito usado pelo Steve Vai, o qual confere um sabor exótico nas <img class="alignleft" title="satriani" src="http://dynamite.terra.com.br/blog/zapnroll/assets/content/Image/081209satriani.jpg" alt="" width="360" height="332" />músicas, coisas que podem ser absorvidas, menos mirabolantes, o Satch distingue-se muito pela dimensão em termos de composição que consegue dar à guitarra. Pois é, este senhor Satriani fundiu este exotismo com o rock,juntando aquele som único e uma técnica magistral (O Hendrix não tinha tanta, lamento, mas é mesmo assim) criou um estilo que influenciou muita e muita gente. Está para os guitarristas da actualidade como o Hendrix para os hippies, mas com uma grande diferença. O Jimi Hendrix estava associado a um movimento de libertação cultural, uma mensagem de liberdade e paz numa altura conturbada. Isso é fundamental para a criação de um ídolo, uma referência, não critico isso, a música serve para isso e o Hendrix transmitia essa cultura a cada nota que atacava.</p>

<p><a href="http://aeiou.expresso.pt/do-vinil-ao-digital=s25081">Este artigo</a> fala de uma coisa muito importante. A injustiça de compara guitarristas de estilos muito diferentes, blues, flamenco, heavy, jazz, etc. São campeonatos diferentes, o Paco de Lucia certamente tem lugar nesta lista. Sou grande adepto do Slash, mas um segundo lugar parece-me esticar um bocado a corda.  Rolling Stone também elaborou uma <a href="http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/5937559/the_100_greatest_guitarists_of_all_time/print">lista</a> do género onde classificou o Kurt Cobain como o 12º melhor guitarrista de sempre. Eu sem exagero, consigo pensar em 50 guitarristas melhor que ele. Mas uma coisa eu não posso negar, se calhar se forem contabilizadas as<img class="alignright" title="vai" src="http://www.knkrafft.de/Portfolio/Bands___Musiker/Steve_Vai/Steve_Vai_Hamburg_12-02__55e.jpg" alt="" width="283" height="251" /> tentativas de aprendizes de guitarra em tentar tocar o riff inicial da &#8220;Come Has You Are&#8221;, e comparando com as tentativas em tocar os riffs daqueles 50 em que estou a pensar, provavelmente o Kurt Cobain ganha por &#8220;quinjajero&#8221;. É uma geração inteira com guitarras cheias de autocolantes a ouvir o &#8220;MTV Unplugged in New York&#8221; e a passar um charro à gaja que gostam. No fim, são essas coisas que contam. Que se lixe o Satriani&#8230;</p>
<p>Na lista da Time, consta um nome que diz muito, Yngwie Malmsteen. Eu não o colocaria no top ten, porque foi alguém que se perdeu no tempo, a qualidade da música foi-se perdendo gradualmente e é um tipo cheio de &#8220;manias&#8221;. Mas uma coisa é certa, o primeiro álbum dele, Rising Force, continua a ser dos melhores de sempre do heavy neo-clássico. Uma mistura espectacular entre heavy-metal e o barroco, dois estilos que assentam como uma luva um no outro. Porquê? Virtuosismo. Essa é a qualidade principal que os executantes do dois estilos devem possuir. Muitos outros guitarristas fizeram o mesmo, Rhandy Roads (Ozzy Osbourne), Jason Becker, Marty Friedman (Megadeth), Kiko Loureiro (Angra), Ritchie Blackmore (Rainbow &#38; Deep Purple), Tony Macalpine, Michael Angelo Batio.</p>

<p>Este guitarrista sofre de uma doença degenerativa rara que o deixou impossibilitado de tocar, ainda compõe com o auxilio de um computador. Esta é a sua virtuosíssima versão do 5º Capricho de Paganini.</p>

<p>Mas existe sempre uma coisa que impressiona os leigos da guitarra, o &#8220;show off&#8221;. E o maior especialista nessa matéria é o Michael Angelo. Tem uma técnica e habilidade impressionantes, toca com guitarras de dois braços ao mesmo tempo e faz assim umas trocas de mãos alucinantes e coisas do género. Mas é apenas circo, pois a música é completamente desprovida de feeling.</p>

<p>Eu não discordo que o Prince e o Keith Richards constem da lista, mas consigo pensar em melhores guitarristas, mas o Prince é muito bom e a maioria das pessoas desconhecem esse facto. A presença de Les Paul (falecido recentemente) também compreendo, inventou o modelo Les Paul, absolutamente famoso em todo o mundo guitarrístico, além de ser ele próprio um bom guitarrista. O Chuck Berry é considerado o criador do rock &#38; roll. O Jonh Lennon disse que se houvesse outro nome para o rock &#38; roll seria Chuck Berry. Aqueles riffs de guitarra são reconhecíveis de imediato e a presença em palco com os movimentos de pernas que deram origem à postura rock dos guitarristas. Fica aqui o vìdeo da sua famosíssima &#8220;Johnny B. Goode&#8221;.</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/6ofD9t_sULM&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/6ofD9t_sULM&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>E este é um dos seus famosos &#8220;moves&#8221;, o &#8220;duckwalk&#8221;, mais tarde imitado pelo Angus Young dos ACDC.</p>

<p>Há guitarristas que se destacam pela elegância da sua musica. Exemplos disso são o Eric Jonhson e o Steve Morse. O Eric tem dos melhores sons de guitarra que já ouvi e um técnica  extremamente subtil. Um primeiro convidado dos G3, um grupo de 3 guitarristas onde 2 são o Satriani e o Vai e outro é um convidado. Uma cimeira dos 3 grandes. Fica a qui uma das suas preciosidades, &#8220;Manhattan&#8221;.</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/FL8aeeSTthQ&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/FL8aeeSTthQ&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>O Steve Morse é outro exemplo de elegância, mais ainda, de versatilidade. Uma çao de bom gosto e de domínio técnico de todas as técnicas de guitarra. Fica aqui um vídeo de um solo maravilhoso, feito nos Deep Purple, pois ele é o guitarrista dessa banda, em detrimento do Malmsteen, é bem melhor do que ele.</p>

<p>Os guitarristas de blues Peter green, Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughan, B.B. King, Albert King, Albert Collins, etc. Não consigo nomea-los todos, são muitos e muito bons. Estes influenciaram outros guitarristas de todos os estilos. No metal não há muito guitarristas, dos bons, que não tenham influências destes artistas e utilizam escalas de blues nos seus solos.</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/tWLw7nozO_U&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/tWLw7nozO_U&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>Na fusão proliferam geniais músicos. Fusão é um estilo que mistura jazz com outros estilos diferentes, rock, blues, e frequentemente música do mundo. Da parte dos guitarristas há muito bons exemplos como Pat Metheney, Al di Meola, Frank Gambale, etc.  Já tive oportunidade de ver Meola ao vivo e tenho um cd autografado, é genial, mistura flamenco e latino com outras. O Gambale é um guitarrista que tem muitos livros publicados e é fenemonal na ´tecnica de sweep picking, ou seja, varrer as cordas com a palheta e fazer aperggios.</p>
<p>Este vídeo é de uma música do Meola, &#8220;Mediterranean Sundance&#8221;, ele toca com o Paco de Lucia e faz parte de um disco obrigatório para qualquer guitarrista. O &#8220;Friday Night in San Francisco&#8221;.</p>

<p>Este é o Frank Gambale, num vídeo a mostrar como se fazem arpeggios, atençaõ também ao baixista, Jeff Berlin.</p>

<p>Bem, eu podia continuar a falar de guitarristas, mas vou abreviar e passar a um estilo do qual sou profundo admirador, o Heavy-Metal. Aqui abundam grandes músicos. A dupla de guitarristas dos Iron Maiden é disso exemplo. O Dave Murray e o Adrian Smith definem o que é o metal. Nem vou entrar em detalhes, eles têm tudo, os om, a personalidade, a humidade e a técnica&#8230;Fica aqui uma das minhas preferidas e muito underrated, &#8220;Stranger in a Strange Land&#8221;.</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/2rGt-v6Yh88&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/2rGt-v6Yh88&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>Eles são tantos, que até parece mal falar deles só de passagem, já referi alguns, mas o Angus Young dos ACDC tem de merecer um reparo especial, são muitos riffs famosos e muito bom gosto. O Alex Skolnick dos Testament, um dos melhores guitarristas do thrash e a aluno do Satriani,um dos meus preferidos. O Dimebag Darrel dos Pantera, que reinventou o metal, o Criss Oliva dos Savatage, e por aí fora. Não me lembro de mais, mas são muitos. Ah, e não me posso esquecer do Brian May, apesar de não ser metal, Queen tem um guitarrista com um estilo único que tocava com uma moeda, que tinha um som que muitos tentaram imitar sem sucesso.</p>
<p>Vou finalizar esta extensa enumeração de guitarristas com um dos que mais me tocou, o Jonh Petrucci dos Dream Theater. Técnica e feeling desta maneira é uma coisa única. Um marco na história do metal. Nem vale a pena dizer mais nada é único. E não aparece na patética lista da Rolling Stone dos melhores 100 guitarristas do mundo, é mesmo isso, conseguíram fazer um alista sem o incluir, nem a ele nem ao Satriani&#8230;</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/qyntHYSLE8Y&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/qyntHYSLE8Y&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>O que me mete mais nojo nisto tudo, é o facto do Satriani ser conhecido pela história com os palermas do Coldplay. Experimentem escrever satriani no g0ogle e vejam qual é a palavra que aparece a seguir. Em relação à suposta imitação desses gajos, eu até acho que fazem coisas interessantes, não ouço, se é para ouvir pop, ouço U2 que é muitíssimo melhor. Mas o pessoal fica todo contente com aquela música &#8220;Viva la Vida&#8221; que supostamente é uma cópia da &#8220;If I Could Fly&#8221;. Se é ou não, não sei, mas uma coisa é certa, nem é do melhor de Satriani, longe disso.</p>
<p>ps: Faltam aqui imensos nomes (Santana&#8230;:D), eu também não me atreveria a fazer uma lista dos 100 melhores, simplesmente uma dos meus 100 preferidos, e não passam disso estas listas, sejam elas sobre guitarristas, álbuns ou bandas. E já agora, estou aberto a críticas, com sempre. <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><strong>Actualização</strong></p>
<p>Bem, lembrei-me agora de alguns nomes que não de forma alguma ser esquecidos, Santana, Eddie Van Halen e Nuno Bettencourt.</p>
<p>Já agora algumas  uma curiosidades em relação a este video. O pormenor do Santana a desviar a guitarra quando pressente o feedback do amplificador (1:17) dá um ar caótico ao concerto. Genial, quando vejo este concerto e outros em woodstock, dá-me a impressão que foi simplesmente um grupo de pessoas que se juntou para tocar música &#8220;Hey, queres vir tocar uns acordes? Não tenho grande equipamento, mas vai estar lá um pessoal fixe e tal, Hendrix, Santana, The Who, Janis Joplin, Joe Cocker.&#8221; O baterista que toca com o Santana, Mickaël Shrieve, foi o músico mais novo que tocou nesse festival, e destacou-se pelo solo que faz nesta música. Obrigado Sal, por este vídeo <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/XnamP4-M9ko&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/XnamP4-M9ko&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>Como é que me esqueci do Van Halen?! Acho que poucos guitarristas popularizaram uma técnica como o Van Halen com o tapping. É uma técnica onde se utiliza a mão que segura a palheta para &#8220;martelar&#8221; directamente na corda na casa pretendida. Dá um efeito espectacular, e é a foram mais fácil de fazer coisas rápidas. Mas não é só por isso que ele se destaca, tem um sentido rítmico excelente, e os acompanhamentos dele são de um bom gosto tremendo. E sempre cheio de pinch harmonics lá pelo meio, assim grosseiramente, são os &#8220;gritos&#8221; que se ouvem a sair da guitarra. Algo que é usado e abusado no heavy-metal, Zack Wilde, Glen Tipton (Judas Priest), são bons exemplos.</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/z_lwocmL9dQ&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/z_lwocmL9dQ&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>Também me olvidé de falar dos guitarristas portugueses. E começo já pelo açoriano Nuno Bettencourt, imigrou para os EUA e foi considerado o herdeiro do Van Halen em termos estilísticos. Aquilo que falei do Van Halen em termos técnicos aplica-se ao Nuno, mas o português envereda um pouco mais pelo funk.  Eu só não percebo é porque é que este tipo é tão pouco conhecido em Portugal, guitarrista dos Extreme, os autores da famosíssima &#8220;More Than Words&#8221;. Fica aqui um grande solo, lindo mesmo, pleno de técnica e sentimento, e eu não me canso de frisar o quanto estas duas características são importantes para um guitarrista.</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/fPhAEVxrrD4&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/fPhAEVxrrD4&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>Mas há outros, o Gonçalo Pereira, cheio de técnica e com um estilo muito próprio, também desconhecido em Portugal. Mas posso dar mais exemplos, Pedro Jóia; Joel Xavier, Paulo Barros. Todos eles muito bons. Este último é o guitarrista dos Tarântula, uma banda de Heavy-Metal portuguesa.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>By Don Heckman</p>
<h3><strong>Los Angeles</strong></h3>
<p>- June 29. (Mon.)  <strong>Tim Garland’s Lighthouse Trio</strong>. Saxophonist Garland’s remarkable accomplishments reach from orchestral works to choir music to commissions for an African dance company and pairings with Chick Corea.  Hearing him with his Lighthouse Trio reveals the inner essence of his art. <a href="http://www.catalinajazzclub.com" target="_blank">Catalina Bar &#38; Grill</a>. (323) 466-2210 .</p>
<p>- July 1 – 3. (Wed. – Fri.)  <strong>Vital Information with Steve Smith</strong>. Drummer Smith’s interests in percussion reach around the globe and across musical genres.  And Vital Information – with Smith, bassist <strong>Baron Browne,</strong> guitarist <strong>Vinny Valentino</strong> and keyboardist <strong>Tom Coster </strong>– cover most of those bases in their always-changing sets.  Catalina Bar &#38; Grill. (323) 466-2210</p>
<p>- July 2. (Thurs.)  <strong>“Playing for Change.” </strong>The 25th Annual Twilight Dance Series at the Santa Monica Pier opens with the live band version of the startling “Playing for Change” phenomenon that has rapidly moved from the #1 rated YouTube video to a Top 10 release of their 2-disc CD/DVD.  <a href="http://www.santamonicapier.org/" target="_blank">Santa Monica Pier Twilight Dance Series</a>.  And if you haven’t seen the YouTube video, with its marvelous revelation of the power of music, you should  Here it is: <span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/Us-TVg40ExM&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/Us-TVg40ExM&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span>.</p>
<div id="attachment_3578" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 136px"><img class="size-full wp-image-3578" title="john fogerty" src="http://irom.wordpress.com/files/2009/06/john-fogerty.jpg" alt="john fogerty" width="126" height="167" /><p class="wp-caption-text">John Fogerty</p></div>
<p>- July 2 – 4. (Thurs. – Sat.)  The <strong>Hollywood Bowl’s annual Fireworks Spectacular</strong>.  Featuring <strong>John Fogerty </strong>with the <strong>Los Angeles Philharmonic</strong> conducted by <strong>John Morris Russell</strong>.  Fogarty’s reportedly working on a new country album, but the Bowl audience no doubt will expect a large serving of such Creedence Clearwater Revival hits as “Susie Q” and “Proud Mary.”  The fireworks, as always, will be spectacular.  <a href="http://www.hollywoodbowl.com" target="_blank">Hollywood Bowl</a>.   (323) 850-2000.</p>
<p>- July 3. (Fri.)<strong> Viver Brasil</strong>.  “Feet on the Ground/Aiye.”  A spectacular evening of sight and sound, with the invigorating songs of <strong>Katia Moraes </strong>and the high-spirited, roots rhythms and dancing of the amazing artist in the Viver Brasil company.   <a href="http://www.fordtheatres.org" target="_blank">Ford Amphitheatre.</a> (323) 461-3673.</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>Highlight: </strong>July 3  (Fri.)</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;">It’s a great night for jazz canaries in L.A., with three impressive ladies offering their very different, but utterly compelling views of the art of jazz vocalizing at locations across the Southland.  (Ahh…for a personal helicopter).</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>Jackie Ryan</strong>.  The ever-fascinating, multi-<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-3570" title="jackie ryan cu" src="http://irom.wordpress.com/files/2009/06/jackie-ryan-cu.jpg" alt="jackie ryan cu" width="124" height="167" />lingual Ryan has emerged, in the past few years as a singer with a stunning blend of creative imagination, musicality and captivating story-telling abilities.  She arrives in town celebrating the upcoming release of her latest album, the 2-CD “Doozy” (Openart Records).  (Full disclosure: I wrote the liner notes for the set.)    She’s at the <a href="http://www.radisson.com/hotels/caculver/dinings" target="_blank">Culver Club at the Radisson</a>.    (310) 649-1776.   To sample Jackie Ryan’s recordings, click <a href="http://www.jackieryanmusic.com/cd.html" target="_blank">here.</a></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>Carol Welsman</strong>. Across the county, Canadian singer/pianist Welsman applies her superb blend of voice and instrument to a <img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-3571" title="carolwelsman2" src="http://irom.wordpress.com/files/2009/06/carolwelsman2.jpg" alt="carolwelsman2" width="131" height="142" />repertoire that is as imaginative and far-reaching as any vocalist on the scene.  (Maybe even more so.)  Blessed with a whisper-in-your-ear warm sound and a rich harmonic sense, she uses them both to bring a compelling lyricism to her songs. Let’s hope she includes some of the engaging selections from her as yet unreleased tribute to Peggy Lee.  <a href="http://www.steamerscafe.com" target="_blank">Steamers</a>. (714) 871-8800.  To sample Carol Welsman’s recordings, click <a href="http://www.carolwelsman.com/albums.php" target="_blank">here</a>.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>Susan Krebs.</strong> Meanwhile, out in the Valley, Krebs brings to her songs her belief that “Being a jazz gardener is really about the art of <img class="alignright size-large wp-image-3964" title="susankrebs4" src="http://irom.wordpress.com/files/2009/06/susankrebs4.jpg?w=1024" alt="susankrebs4" width="199" height="132" />becoming…whether working with plants or music or with oneself.”  Her outdoors fascination reaches up to jazz-in-flight, as well, in her album, “Jazz Aviary,” which features such classics as “Baltimore Oriole,” “Skylark,” and, of course, “Ornithology,”  She’s backed by pianist <strong>Theo Saunders</strong>, bassist <strong>Ryan McGillicuddy</strong> and drummer <strong>Sinclair Lott</strong>.   <a href="http://www.spazio.la/jazz.php" target="_blank">Spazio</a>.  (818) 728-8400  To sample Susan Krebs’ recordings, click <a href="http://www.susankrebsmusic.com/music.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</span></p>
<p>- July 4. (Sat.)  <strong>Shin Hae Chul and N.E.X.T</strong>.  The South Korean pop star and his band make a rare American appearance. A liberal political icon as well as a musical headliner, often compared to John Lennon, he is one of the founders of the country’s contemporary Kpop genre.  <a href="http://www.fordtheatres.org" target="_blank">The Ford Amphitheatre</a>.   (323) 461-3673.</p>
<h3><strong>San Francisco</strong></h3>
<p>- July 2 – 5. (Thurs. – Sun.)  <strong>Mose Allison &#38; Bob Dorough</strong>. What a treat – two of the deans of hip jazz vocalizing, on the same stage. The Mississippi blues meet cool urban sophistication.  Dorough also does a matinee on Sunday featuring selections from his “Schoolhouse Rock.”   <a href="http://www.yoshis.com" target="_blank">Yoshi’s Oakland. </a>(510) 238-9200.</p>
<p>- July 2 – 5. (Thurs. – Sun.)  <strong>Gerald Albright</strong>. The multiple Grammy-nominated saxophonist brings jazz authenticity to the too-often tepid waters of the smooth and contemporary jazz styles. <a href="http://www.yoshis.com" target="_blank">Yoshi’s San Francisco</a>.  (415) 655-5600</p>
<h3><strong>New York City</strong></h3>
<div id="attachment_3579" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 178px"><img class="size-full wp-image-3579" title="Jack_DeJohnette2" src="http://irom.wordpress.com/files/2009/06/jack_dejohnette2.jpg" alt="Jack_DeJohnette2" width="168" height="177" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Jack DeJohnette</p></div>
<p>- June 29. (Mon.)  <strong>Ravi Coltrane &#38; Jack DeJohnette </strong>with guests: <strong>“A Benefit for JazzReach.” </strong>Talk about an opportunity to make a contribution to something worthwhile, and experience some remarkable music in the process – here it is.  Two of the jazz world’s most adventurous players, taking an exploratory road together.  <a href="http://www.bluenote.net" target="_blank">The Blue Note.</a> (212) 475-8592.</p>
<p>- June 30. (Tues.)  <strong>Terese Genecco &#38; Her Little Big Band.</strong> Retro swing comes alive in the hands of the energy-packed Geneco and her irresistibly swinging seven piece band.  Also on the bill, <strong>Scott Barbarino &#38; the Bev-Naps</strong> re-imagine a combination of Dean Martin-revisited with a doo-wop, a capella vocal group.. <a href="http://www.iridiumjazzclub.com" target="_blank">The Iridium</a>.  (212) 582-2121.  (Also the last Tuesday of every month.)</p>
<div id="attachment_3580" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 248px"><img class="size-full wp-image-3580" title="cohenclarinet" src="http://irom.wordpress.com/files/2009/06/cohenclarinet.jpg" alt="cohenclarinet" width="238" height="158" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Anat Cohen (photo by Tony Gieske)</p></div>
<p>- June 30 – July 5. (Tues. – Sun.)  <strong>Anat Cohen</strong>.   <strong>&#8220;Clarinet work: Benny Goodman and Beyond. &#8220;</strong> It’s been a long time since the clarinet has had an advocate as convincing as the gifted Cohen.  Although her work on tenor and soprano saxophones is always a joy to hear, her love for the clarinet, combined with the ability  to bring its rich resources of sound to life, is one of the pleasures of the 21st century jazz scene.  It’ll be intriguing to hear what she does with Goodman. <a href="http://www.villagevanguard.com" target="_blank">The Village Vanguard</a>.  (212) 255-4037</p>
<p>- July 1 – 4. (Wed. – Sat.)  <strong>Lew Tabackin &#38; Toshiko Akiyoshi Quartet</strong>. The gifted couple – with Tabackin’s envelope-stretching saxophone work and Toshiko’s compositionally structured piano have long been – and continue to be – models of new vista jazz improvisation. <a href="http://www.birdlandjazz.com" target="_blank">Birdland</a>.  (212) 581-3080.</p>
<h3><strong>Montreal</strong></h3>
<div id="attachment_3585" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 129px"><img class="size-full wp-image-3585" title="Pulitzer Arts" src="http://irom.wordpress.com/files/2009/06/ornette-coleman.jpg" alt="Pulitzer Arts" width="119" height="209" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Ornette Coleman</p></div>
<p>- June 30 – July 12.  <strong>The Montreal Jazz Festival</strong>.  There are those who fervently believe that the Montreal Fest is North America’s finest music event.  And they may be right (although I’d have to place the Monterey Jazz Festival at a similar level).  But with settings placed in and around a beautiful city, and a line up like this, it’s hard to go wrong: <strong>Ornette Coleman, Oliver Jones, Joe Cocker, Al Jarreau, Jeff Beck, Jackson Brown, Buddy Guy, Tony Bennett, Brian Setzer, Burning Spear, Melody Gardot, Charlie Haden, Jamie Cullum, Al Di Meola, Joshua Redman, Chris Botti, Esperanza Spalding, Dave Brubeck, Madeleine Peyroux</strong> and more.   <a href="http://www.montrealjazzfest.com" target="_blank">The Montreal Jazz Festival</a>.    (888) 525-0515</p>
<h3><strong>Rothbury, Michigan</strong></h3>
<p>- July 2 – 5. (Thurs. – Sun.) <strong>The Rothbury Festival</strong>.  Rothbury describes its mission as a “commitment to harnessing the spirit of the music festival community into a durable social movement.”  A lot of performers and fans agree, especially when the Festival is placed in an amiable outdoor setting, and the program includes <strong>The Dead, Bob Dylan, String Cheese Incident, Willie Nelson, the Black Crowes, Ani DiFranco, Matisyahu, Femi Kuti</strong> and more.   <a href="http://www.rothburyfestival.com" target="_blank">The Rothbury Festival</a>.  At the Double JJ Ranch in Rothbury, Michigan.</p>

<p>It was about a couple of months ago when a friend sent me the first title of this album: Mediterranean Sundance &#8211; Rio Ancho which was posted on Youtube, thanks to some kind user.</p>
<p>And after listening to an album like this, I feel like I&#8217;ve never really listened to any music until now. Right off the bat, if I have to rate this album for guitar-playing&#8230; 6 on a scale of 1 to 5 (1 being the lowest and 5 being the highest rating).</p>
<p>A qualitative description would involve using the words &#8216;unbelievable&#8217;&#8230; atleast for me!</p>
<p>In terms of timing, skill and chemistry, I doubt you will find too many artistes whose talent can match the three guitar-players namely Al Di Meola, John McLaughlin and Paco de Lucia&#8230; once you listen to the album.</p>
<p>The tracks in the album include:</p>
<p>1) Mediterranean Sundance &#8211; Rio Ancho</p>
<p>2) Short Tales of the Black Forest</p>
<p>3) Frevo Rasgardo</p>
<p>4) Fantasia Suite</p>
<p>5) Guardian Angel</p>
<p>It&#8217;s one thing if you&#8217;re a guitar player and can pretentiously critique this album, but it&#8217;s another if you are a guitar player and can&#8217;t! That&#8217;s really how I see this album&#8230; a masterpiece made by guitar virtuosos of a generation that have never really aged in a genre of music that is of the avant-garde variety, one that you can never put your finger on.</p>
<p>But just as music is a universal language, it also transcends time and space&#8230; and from considering John Petrucci as my foremost guitar-hero&#8230; now it&#8217;s time to turn back time to some of the greats in the recent past.</p>
<p>Although this album was made in 1980 at the Warfield Theater in San Francisco, I feel like it will remain as fresh as ever for flamenco and jazz affencionados alike.</p>
<p>For starters, watch this video which is a revised version of the first song in the album and you&#8217;ll understand what I mean:</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/9cadbYIzhqQ&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/9cadbYIzhqQ&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>Trust me, this will be an experience which will not only be uplifting but is a must-have for anyone who loves instrumental music of the Acoustic Alchemy genre. Enjoy!</p>
