slightly OT: New Website / New Book

[Alex Rogowski]

Hey folks,

I wanted to announce the "official" launch of my new website
http://aguitaristsnotebook.com/

Mostly jazz-centric stuff but the Brazilian guitar transcriptions as
well as my own arrangements may be of interest to the guitarists here.

By no small coincidence, my book "The Thesaurus of Scale Tone Chords" is
also available from the site.

I hope you get a chance to look around: there are over fifty web pages
and several hundred pages of transcriptions, studies, etc..

One caveat: An up to date browser is required to view it (IE6 is
completely incompatible with the website)

Thanks for your indulgence,
Alex

There is some good stuff there, mostly a bit above my head (being a
fingerpicker rather than lead player, and having very little real
musical knowledge).

Anyway I've downloaded some stuff that might give me a prod in the right
direction.

Thanks Alex.

I missed the fingerstyle stuff, I must go back and look.

I've now downloaded all of the Bill Evans (one of my favourite
musicians) pieces. Haven't tried any of them yet.

Thanks again.

Thanks guys for the positive feedback. I also appreciate it when you
alert me to typos (Thanks Mike -- "The Too Looney People" has been
corrected)

A few points of interest:

* My favorite arrangement is the theme from Cinema Paridiso. I've also
posted a recording - you might want to listen to it.

* For those of you whose primary interest is in "finger style" guitar,
check out "Americana" or "The Compendium of Really Annoying Tunes". All
tongue-in-cheek fun stuff including "If I only had a Brain", "Andy of
Maberry" as well as some challenging Sousa marches..

Let me know if you YouTube or otherwise record any of my arrangements.

Wow --nice site, Alex...great arrangements! I'm curious --have you
heard Manuel Barrueco's arr. of Paul Simon's "Bookends"? Yours looks
to be more or less the same.

like you've got a lot of good things going on. hats off to you !

Hey, most jazz-men aren't much in the way of jazz-men (if you know what
I mean and I think you do). The response here has been much warmer than
at RMMGJ.

Thanks to all!

Thanks Jeff.

Yes, I do have the Barrueco CD with "Bookends". The arrangement that I
posted *was* inspired by that recording - I can't honestly remember how
much was borrowed from him though. The file has been sitting on my
computer for several years (before I was using Transcribe! or Amazing
Slow Downer to transcribe with). When I was gathering up material for
the site I decided to include it.

My promise to you: I'll go back to the recording and either do a more
detailed transcription or take it off the site completely.

Anyway, I love that CD - the Children Songs set in particular.

I'm sure you've heard this before: Don't be so self effacing (at least
not publicly). I'm sure there are many people that find your playing
delightful - myself included.

I think a bunch of us are in awe of anyone who can play like that.

Thanks, Alex. Sometime Ago is also one of my favorite CDs --the
Children's Songs and the Jarrett Koln transcriptions are worth the
price of admission alone!
