Field and Foley Pottery Percussion WAV-FANTASTiC screenshot
FANTASTiC | 12 March 2024 | 300.10 MB
Ceramic pottery drums have been in use for thousands of years as a source of rhythmic music. But what are the sounds of creating pottery itself? Can the sounds fire from the kiln, the whirling of the wheel, and the rhythmic carving tools shaping the clay be turned into music? What if we combine those sounds with the instrumentation of ceramic percussion into a blend that showcases pottery from start to finish?

Future Days: Krautrock and the Birth of a Revolutionary New Music by David Stubbs screenshot
English | Publisher: Melville House, 2015 | 512 Pages | epub+pdf (conv.) | 8,2 MB
A sweeping history of the men and women who transformed postwar Germany—and created a musical genre that revolutionized rock and roll and gave birth to hip-hop.
West Germany after World War II was a country in shock: estranged from its recent history, and adrift from the rest of Europe. But this orphaned landscape proved fertile ground for a generation of musicians who, from the 1960s onwards, would develop the strange and beautiful sounds that became known as Krautrock.

Composing the Modern Subject: Four String Quartets by Dmitri Shostakovich by Sarah Reichardt screenshot
English | Publisher: Routledge, 2005 | 144 Pages | PDF | 2,9 MB
Since the publication of Solomon Volkov's disputed memoirs of Dmitri Shostakovich, the composer and his music has been subject to heated debate concerning how the musical meaning of his works can be understood in relationship to the composer's life within the Soviet State. While much ink has been spilled very little work has attempted to define how Shostakovich's music has remained so arresting not only to those within the Soviet culture, but also to Western audiences - even though such audiences are often largely ignorant of the compositional context or even the biography of the composer.

Bruce Emery Fingerstyle Guitar From Scratch PDF MP3 screenshot
English | 96 pages | PDF + MP3 | 60 MB
This book illustrates the basics of the Arpeggio Style and the Travis Style (alternating bass) forms of guitar vocal accompaniment. More specifically, you’ll be using your fingers to pick the individual notes out of common chords to backup your voice instead of strumming or picking those chords with a pick. It’s just a kinder, gentler way to play rhythm guitar. Think of “Dust in the Wind,” "Blackbird," “Scarborough Fair,” “Landslide,” “Leader of the Band” and “Time in a Bottle.” These are among the songs we’ll use to explore this style.

Bruce Emery - Travis-Style Guitar From Scratch screenshot

English | 93 pages | PDF + WMA | 53 MB

"Travis-picking" means that the thumb is responsible for laying down an alternating bassline while the fingers simultaneously add independent melody and harmony lines. Here’s how we’ll achieve our goal: We’ll start with a simple alternating bass and we’ll work on it until it becomes comfortable. Then we’ll add small, successive complications that will feel uncomfortable at first, but we’ll work them it until they become comfortable, before moving on to the next.
After some preliminary exercises, we get right into Six Songs You Know, two in each of three keys: “Camptown Races,” “Oh! Susanna,” “Red River Valley,” “Will the Circle Be Unbroken,” “House of the Rising Sun” and “God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen,” and much of the rest of book is devoted to revisiting these six songs at increasing levels of complexity (four levels in all). The first level is straightforward: All melody notes land squarely on the beat.

Bruce Emery - Blues Guitar From Scratch screenshot

English | 95 pages | PDF + WMA | 61 MB

First things first: the venerable Twelve Bar Blues chord progression, the backbone of the blues. You'll learn how to use the 1, 4 and 5 chords to do chordal accompaniment, the Blues Shuffle and the Guitar Boogie in the most common blues keys, A and E.
Then comes blues lead playing and improvisation. The Minor Pentatonic Scale in the Key of Em will be our first concern, with additional notes added as needed. Then we move on to the C-A-G-E-D box patterns that are found up the neck in the Key of Am and learn how to shape-shift. Finally come sections on slide guitar playing in standard, open G and open D tunings.

Bruce Emery - Guitar From Scratch The Sequel screenshot

English | 92 pages | PDF + WMA | 60 MB

We’ll start with Stupid Chord Tricks, clever little mutations and variations that pour easily out of the guitar. People have stumbled onto them, they sound good and, in any case, you should know about them. They constitute the slang of the guitar.
Passing Chords come next. These are the “slash” chords that feature unexpected bass notes that serve to tie together the chords in a sequence. In Bass Runs, the basslines are physically extracted from the chords and played as single notes in Walkups and Walkdowns.

Bruce Emery - Guitar From Scratch screenshot

English | 93 pages | PDF + WMA | 75 MB

This book is intended for guitar teachers and their students, in both group and private settings. The information, condensed from other titles in the Guitar From Scratch series, is presented here in a more direct manner with less detailed explanation. The text has been stripped down to the essential information, so the teacher has room to put his or her own personal stamp on the material. This book uses chord diagrams and tablature to get the student playing easy material ASAP: chords first, some strumming and fingerpicking, then on to melodies, basslines and scales, and even introducing Twelve Bar Blues and some basic blues improvisation on the Pentatonic Scale.

Bruce Emery - Jazz For The Skeptical Guitarist screenshot

English | 94 pages | PDF + WMA | 50 MB

This book proceeds onward from Volume Two, The Fretboard, and presumes that you are up to speed on the first two volumes. We start out with a description of jazz chords with regard to the Rhythm Changes, voice leading and the spelling of complex chords. You'll get experience playing two popular progressions of complex chord shapes, what I call the MVP (Most Valuable Progression) and the VIP (Very Important Progression). Other topics include modulation from key to key, comping and mystery chord analysis.
