Jazz piano is one of the most vibrant, energetic, specialized types of music. Famous jazz artists you may want to listen to are Herbie Hancock, Keith Jarret, Bill Evans, to name but a few. To learn jazz piano you need to take some time to listen to jazz CD’s and maybe watch DVD’s as well. To learn jazz piano, one needs to be very patient and dedicated to practicing the genre.

Jazz piano is characterized by a lot of improvisation. A jazz musician can be given a fake music sheet or chord chart and he can improvise on the spot over those chord progressions. It is recommended that a jazz musician know or have standard songs in their repertoire. Standard songs include songs like “Willow Weep for Me,” “Summertime,” and “Georgia on My Mind” to name but a few. Standard songs are songs that have been covered by many recording artists in the past, usually every year.

Photo by pcolIt can be demoralizing to watch performances of famous guitar players. You’ve probably started for a short time and feel overwhelmed with the things you have to do in order to become a skilled guitarist. An example from the world of famous musicians comes to rescue: Jimi Hendrix was a self-taught musician and managed to become of the most influential guitarists in the history of music, so all you need is discipline and a few useful tips.

You’ve probably heard already piano pieces played on the guitar. In fact, this is a good exercise to develop your skills. Let’s take the piano, even though you can try with any instrument. You have the choice to learn the chords or the melody for the piano part and then arrange it for the guitar. You will create an arrangement which combines the melody and the cords, frequent thing among classical guitarists. It is a good exercise that can also develop your imagination and technique.

Once you found out about them, it is time to play them. A guitar specialist is first of all a versatile player who masters the chords and the notes. Jazz scales are known to be particularly difficult, but the result once you’ve made it is rewarding. You will move quickly on the fret and then you will be able to improvise, based on what you’ve discovered.

The History of Jazz

5492333749 a8b9467a2e m The History of Jazz
Photo by hcplebranchJazz is a bit of a weird thing to define. Even the origins of the word are murky. It seems to have stemmed from baseball magazines in the early twentieth century, when it had nothing to do with music. Anyway, what we tend to know it as today is either a slightly alienating collection of weird sounds, or that irritatingly smooth and smug crooning that mafia sponsored legends made so popular in the fifties. But that’s not a fair depiction of jazz at all.

The origins of it come from black American culture. When people were at their most oppressed, working as slaves in colonial plantations and farms, they sang during their labour, and sang in praise of god in their free time. Gospel was a powerful force of collecting peoples’ spirits. From this came blues, and its rich, heartbreaking tones of dissatisfaction, coupled with new, cool-sounding scales and repetitive riffs.

In the early nineteenth century black composer Scott Joplin brought a new sound to New Orleans. He wrote a collection of popular street music that swept across America with its happy tunes and echoing lyrics that encouraged audience participation. It was perfect for an America that wanted to dance, and enjoy the more illicit side of life in brothels and bars while feeling part of something innocent and fun. This type of ‘jazz’ music spread, until by the thirties it was the mainstay of dance halls in the big cities of the north. This meant it was a big part of illegal drinking houses too, as these were the prohibition years.

Jazz Guitar Players Come Full Circle

4854660123 cc47d9b4b2 m Jazz Guitar Players Come Full Circle
Photo by The Queen’s HallIn the early part of the twentieth century jazz guitar players very often used the old-time banjo. This is not the instrument necessarily thought of today in the idiom. The banjo then, as it is now, was generally used for country, bluegrass and folk music, the antithesis of cool.

Gibson come out with the first hollow-body acoustic guitar that could finally replace the banjo in 1923. A musician could now play a more complex set of chords and provide an interesting rhythm. By the 1930s the banjo was back in the country fold and the guitar was on its way to gaining a solid place in the swing orchestra. It was on the road to coolness.

By the late 1930s, the electric guitar made its debut and things were never the same. Finally there was a stringed instrument that could be heard amongst the dissonance that make up an orchestra. Whether it be swing, bebop, smooth, fusion or hard-bop, it now had an undeniable presence.

3190682138 f8b6a4a20c m Fretless Guitar The Advantages And Downsides Of Playing This Sort Of Guitar
Photo by Ethan PraterA Guitar Playing is actually a guitar without having any frets. It plays in precisely the same manner as many other stringed musical instruments as well as common guitars, yet does not have any kind of frets to function as the lower end point (node) on the vibrating string.

Over a fretless guitar, the vibrating guitar strings comes through the bridge, from where the strings are secured, all the way to the spot where the fingertips presses the string on the finger board.

These guitars are usually uncommon in many western songs and typically limited to the electrified instruments due to minimized volume level.

Photo by sanbeijiIf you are interested in starting playing an instrument, you can start by learning to play a woodwind instrument, because it’s easy to learn and you can approach a variety of genres, from jazz to classical music. At first it may seem difficult, but once you understand the mechanism and decide on a particular instrument, you’ll see great results in no time.

Choosing one instrument from the many woodwind instruments available nowadays on the market can be tough but with a little research and the right information you can choose the right one. Let’s take the flute, for example, a metal or wood instrument that’s very easy to use. They generally came in wood, but the metal is nowadays used to amplify the sound in big concert halls. The main condition to meet as you learn to play the flute is that you must have total breath control and learn when to release the air in your lungs.

Naming just a few other woodwind instruments, we have the clarinet, the saxophone or the oboe. Each of these instruments has its own charm and role in a concert and learning to play them will surely change your perspective on music. You will not only furnish great sounds, but you will learn to interact with your body and mind as a whole and that will help you in real life.
