David Leisner - Classics and Discoveries - DVD
Internationally renowned classical guitarist David Leisner plays a live concert program with some pieces that are well-known and others that may be new to guitarists. One of the discoveries is the Sonata in B Minor by Wenzeslaus Matiegka (1773-1830), an unduly neglected composer that Leisner calls "the Beethoven of the guitar". It’s a great addition to the guitar repertoire. Another discovery is Leisner’s own Nel Mezzo: Sonata, which Soundboard magazine called "an original and profoundly personal work...powerful, angry and moving music". Now played quite a bit, the music of Johann Kaspar Mertz (1806-1856) was virtually unknown when Leisner recorded and published some of his music almost 30 years ago. Here, two of Mertz’s pieces display the passionate Romanticism of this music. The classics include the sublime Prelude, Fugue and Allegro by J. S. Bach, two delightful rags by Scott Joplin, and a dazzling encore of Etude No. 12 by Villa-Lobos. Leisner introduces each piece informally and is interviewed during intermission by Andrew Dickenson. The interview covers a number of topics in depth, including some of Leisner’s secrets about easing physical tensions while playing the guitar, his thoughts about the music he’s playing and composing.

Brad Carlton - Caged Cracked For Guitar - DVD
Top session player Brad Carlton presents CAGED Cracked - a unique and highly effective system for fretboard navigation, chord selection and improvisation! The CAGED system goes well beyond alternate chord voicings by also serving as a springboard for comping, soloing and improvising in any key. You'll start off learning just five moveable chord forms and a system for quickly identifying roots and other strong tones. You'll then learn how to quickly see and overlay intervals, arpeggios, pentatonics and other scale forms - all of them also moveable to any key. Next, you'll get a grip on handy inversions of the chord forms to connect the dots between the forms and add texture to the harmony. Then the fun begins as you put your big bag of moveable chords, arpeggios and scale forms to work to comp, solo and improvise over any changes, in any key, in any fretboard position! You'll also learn how to put in fills and instantly connect strong tones across even the most complicated changes to form seamless melodic lines and compositions. CAGED Cracked unlocks the improvisational firepower of the CAGED system for rhythm work, fills, solos and melodies as well. The ultimate "rut-buster" for intermediate and advanced players alike, CAGED Cracked quickly transforms every aspect of your playing from black & white to color! Hands-on learning tools included with CAGED Cracked: text lesson guide, chord charts, practice rhythm tracks and bonus material.

Manolo Franco - Aljibe - Book and CD
‘Aljibe’ heralded all that Manolo Franco would bring to his musical artistic life: an extraordinary sound - round and truly flamenco - and an emphatic, clear, clean and polished technique! Whether soleá, bulerías, alegrías or any other style, he was already a phenomenon of musicality and creativity. This album was all it took to rank him among the most important composers of flamenco guitar music. These pieces - true documents for any flamenco guitar player - are unknown to later generations because that recording was not issued again and the originals were waiting to be awakened to take their place again among the splendors of flamenco. This was an absence of a transcendental chapter of flamenco guitar since the compositions in this album, true masterpieces, until now were available only in an old recording made by the Spanish national television network. The appearance of these transcriptions is worth a lively round of applause because it is a rescue of something that belongs to all of us. The virtuosity and sensitivity of the interpretations are a gift, note by note - yours to enjoy and admire!

Buster Jones - Just Us - Book and CD
Although his scorching fingerpicking was most impressive, a closer look at "Just Us" reveals that Buster is equally adept at what many musicians consider as a more difficult task: playing fewer notes... ones that mean more and say more with less, as he does on album opener "A Simple Gift", title cut "Just Us", and "One Sad Clown". Just Us is an album consisting largely of his own compositions inspired by his two main guitars "Merle" and "Pearl". Along the way we are treated to a barn-storming version of "Alabama Jubilee" (it must be tunes like this that caused Chet Atkins to say of Buster "He plays like he's double-parked"), "Collage-a-Reed" and "Clawin'" (each inspired by mentor Jerry Reed), while "Let the Sun Shine In" sounds like an instant fingerpicking classic that you could swear you have heard before, but haven't! Songs include: "A Second Glance, A Simple Gift, Alabama Jubilee, Be Like Dad, Collage-A-Reed, Flight Path, Just Us, Last Request, Let the Sun Shine In, One Sad Clown, Pierpaolo, Still Live Five, The Thoughts of One, Thom's Thumb".
