Rickenbacker Guitars
"The attention to detail is amazing" --Roger McGuinn "A joy to the eyes and a must-have reference guide" --Geddy Lee Electric guitars are not simply musical instruments. At their best they are iconic works of art, a marriage of form and function that has come to symbolize the very essence of 20th century pop culture. While Fender and Gibson maintain their positions as brand leaders in an industry that has helped shape popular music, Rickenbacker, a small family-run business with roots stretching back to the very invention of the electric guitar, remains one of the most important makers almost 100 years from inception. This book charts the company's history from its founding in 1931 to the present day. The authors traveled the world to bring together more than 350 original instruments -- including all 7 Beatles-owned Rickenbackers -- photographing them beautifully for this all-encompassing study of a unique brand. New interviews with legendary Rickenbacker players, including Roger McGuinn, Peter Buck, Susanna Hoffs, Johnny Marr, Geddy Lee and Paul Weller, make this book the most comprehensive history of the brand to date and a must for all guitar enthusiasts.

Body as Instrument
Body as Instrument explores how musicians interact with movement-controlled performance systems, producing sounds imbued with their individual physical signature. Using motion tracking technology, performers can translate physical actions into sonic processes, creating or adapting novel gestural systems that transcend the structures and constraints of conventional musical instruments. Interviews with influential artists in the field, Laetitia Sonami, Atau Tanaka, Pamela Z, Julie Wilson-Bokowiec, Lauren Sarah Hayes, Mark Coniglio, Garth Paine and The Bent Leather Band expose the transformational impact of motion sensors on musicians' body awareness and abilities. Coupled with reflection on author-composed works, the book analyses how the body as instrument metaphor informs relationships between performers, their bodies and self-designed instruments. It also examines the role of experiential design strategies in developing robust and nuanced gestural systems that mirror a performer's movement habits, preferences and skills, inspiring new physical forms of musical communication and diverse musical repertoire.

Let’s Play the Amazing Accordion
Music is universal, simply because we all belong to the same human species. The percentage (99.9%) of genes or DNA that we share, makes all our similarities, traits, and tastes common. As a universally appealing interest, music makes itself well worth pursuing and sharing! This book is written with a specific goal to promote learning accordion as an amazing musical instrument. Accordion owes its popularity to its splendid sound and its versatility in producing them with ample facilities for improvisation and rendition. The mainstream population in the subcontinent and the African continent have not yet embraced the musical instrument, missing out on a global selection of beautiful songs, rhythms, and genres. A major impediment is the fact that many music systems emphasize monophonic melodic parts, and seldom the harmonic components. They are accustomed to enjoying music somewhat differently. Each element of the music, melody, rhythm, and harmony are played by another set of instruments by specialist musicians. The music is codified, organized, played, and enjoyed that way. Those who venture to try it out, soon find out that the instrument is foreign where harmony, polyphony, chords, counterpoint, etc. are emphasized and prolifically practiced. This musical instrument still amazes me in many ways, hence the title is chosen to reflect the same sentiment. Arguably, the accordion is the most scientific, musical, systematically thought-out, ergonomically built, and intricately packaged piece of musical instrument. Certainly, the accordion looks a bit formidable and complicated with its array of chord buttons and switches requiring full body coordination. But let the look alone doesn't deceive anyone! Here, I like to make an earnest attempt to change the status quo and make it a lot easier to learn and play accordion as well as any other instruments. Accordion is designed to integrate several of the musical features into one instrument and make it a one-man band capable of 'solo' and all other styles of playing. In this book, many of the concepts, music theory, and playing techniques are explained in depth with the aid of diagrams, illustrations, charts, and tables in scientific, mathematical, acoustic, and accordion-specific info in a holistic approach. This will provide music enthusiasts and hobbyists with varied backgrounds, and skill levels with alternate ways of understanding, and following their own natural learning paths. It describes the essential theory, all elements of music, and skills needed to play and enjoy the amazing instrument. Note intervals, harmony, scales, chords, quality, progressions, accordion button layout, music notations, Key & time signatures, scale degrees, Circle of fifths, Rhythm, cadence; scale degrees, consonance, dissonance, counterpoints, Physics of sound, human voice production & hearing sensitivity, pitch, frequency, accordion anatomy, reed tuning, equal temperament, are some of the many topics explained. Several examples and comparisons are made from nature and everyday life experiences to music, also explaining its health benefits and well-being. The learning should result in life-long enjoyment for themselves and others around them appealing to a wider audience. This book is deemed to provide a richer and wider perspective to all musicians, stage performers, sound engineers, recording artists, entertainers, hobbyists, and listeners. Music, originally as a purely aural art form, has spectacularly evolved into a multimedia display articulating the cryptic components in sound & Lyrics; movements in Rhythm, as well as the drama and emotional contents highlighting its synesthetic effects. Let many more may enjoy the amazing accordion!

You play the same ideas and you're bored with your guitar solos. This book shows you how to fix the two problems you didn't know you had.The first step on the road to total fretboard freedom is to master the unique licks hiding in all five shapes of the minor pentatonic scale. Then, the real magic happens as you learn how to break out of horizontal minor pentatonic boxes and access the entire neck by playing vertically.Great guitarists aren't trapped in boxes, they think vertically up and down the neck and can smoothly link pentatonic scales along any string, flowing between positions. You'll learn the musical pathways that link all five pentatonic positions, along any string, and in any key.From Pentatonic Scales to ModesThere's a much better way to learn modes, especially when you can already play pentatonic scales. Learn how pentatonic shapes form the "skeletons" of literally any mode, and how by adding just two notes you can quickly bring modal colours into your playing while retaining classic pentatonic phrasing.This book teaches you the most important modes of Dorian, Aeolian, Mixolydian and Major anywhere on the neck, and you'll learn hundreds of gorgeous licks along the way. Guitar Mode Soloing ConnectionsBuilding on the previous two volumes, this book will set you firmly on the road to complete fretboard freedom as you learn how to connect adjacent scale shapes all the way up the neck.Each of the five Major CAGED scale shapes is taught via clear diagrams, notation, and meaningful exercises. Next, you'll learn all the useful connection points between each pair of adjacent scale shapes, so you can move between them without thinking.Once you've mastered the Major scale, you'll master the Aeolian, Mixolydian and Dorian scales across the neck, instantly, inany key, by recycling scale shapes built around strong "anchor" chords.With over 500 free audio examples to download, this is your complete roadmap to guitar soloing freedom, taught in a creative and instantly practical way, which means you'll quickly be playing real music and not boring exercises.

Piano Scales FOR KIDS
The piano is a longstanding, classical, and revered instrument. Invented in the 1700s by Bartolomeo Cristofori (1655-1731) of Padua, Italy, with plenty of hammers and planters to boot, the piano came to be quite popular in the homes of many a Western brood by the end of the nineteenth century. When someone thinks of a classical composer, it wouldn't be unusual to go to Bach, Beethoven, and the like and easily associate them with piano. Many believe that piano sets the standard for musicians, laying the foundation for instrumental affinity. What does that mean, exactly? The piano is awesome. But you knew that already. Yet, what makes a good pianist great? What are the tools used to get you from here to there? While playing is, of course, supposed to be fun, sometimes a bit of direction is what we need to get to the next level.The basic keyboard, housing case, lid, pedals, keys, hammers, and strings still make up the majority of the modern piano's design and componentry.
