Publisher's Summary:

Learn to play the guitar in just a matter of days.

Frustrated with those terrible guitar books? Well, the feeling is mutual. After spending years researching all popular guitar music books out in the market and using them for 20 years teaching my students. There was never a time where I had to jump to other guitar material during my electric guitar lessons to cover what was missing in the current book I was teaching off of. There had to be a beginning guitar book that would covered everything a beginner needs, but I couldn't find any. There was just too many music books for guitar. This is where my journey began to create the ultimate guitar guide. Now it can be in your hands today!

This is a complete guide to learning acoustic guitar, acoustic guitar chords, acoustic rhythm guitar, and a bunch of electric guitar songs - everything a total beginner needs:

The Only Beginner's Guitar Book You'll Ever Need is a slam dunk for anyone interested in speeding up their guitar process.

I do not recommend this book for anyone who has never picked up a guitar before. It is VERY hard to follow or understand once you get past the first couple pages and into the exercises.

Title: Tradition!

Subtitle: The Highly Improbable, Ultimately Triumphant Broadway-to-Hollywood Story of Fiddler on the Roof, the Worlds Most Beloved Musical

Author: Barbara Isenberg

Narrator: Adam Grupper

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 44 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-18-16

Publisher: L.A. Theatre Works

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 9 votes

Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Music

Publisher's Summary:

Since it first opened on Broadway in September 1964, Fiddler on the Roof has constantly been onstage somewhere, including five Broadway revivals, four productions on London's West End, and thousands of schools, army bases, and countries from Argentina to Japan. Barbara Isenberg interviewed the men and women behind the original production, the film, and significant revivals - Harold Prince, Sheldon Harnick, Joseph Stein, Austin Pendleton, Joanna Merlin, Norman Jewison, Topol, Harvey Fierstein, and more - to produce a lively, popular chronicle of the making of Fiddler.

Published in celebration of Fiddler's 50th anniversary, Tradition! is the book for everyone who loves Fiddler and can sing along with the original cast album.

Members Reviews:

This fascinating back story of "Fiddler on the Roof" stirs up tearful memories

Fiddler on the Roofâjust reading the title conjures up warm and tearful recollection of one of the greatest musicals of all time. All those memories well up on reading "Tradition." Somehow, we think of great cultural treasures as being conceived and born just as we finally experience them, but Barbara Isenbergâs insightful and gripping account of the showâs gestation proves that this is far from the truth. Everybody thought the show was far too Jewish to succeed with a mass audience, but producer Harold Prince took a chance on it. Director Jerome Robbins constantly shaped and reshaped the work (driving everyone meshuga in the process) and the composers wrote about 50 songs, most of which were cut. Isenberg digs up many wonderful details, such as Zero Mostel constantly breaking character during his performances as Tevye and Norman Jewisonâs need to use marble dust as fake snow in the movie, or the fact that the ladiesâ stockings were placed over the camera lens during filming. I recommend that you not read this wonderful book at bedtime, because the haunting melodies will start rushing through your mind and keep you wide awake. Happy 50th birthday to Fiddler on the Roof! L'Chaim! May it live a thousand years!

Fascinating back story, human and detailed.

Fascinating evolution of a wonderful play and insights that we'd never know about how the script, story, music, direction etc intertwine. Also shows the personalities of the people who made it happen and how they worked together. It made me realize the uncertainties that go along with the unfolding of a play with those who don't think it will have a wide audience and those who see it in a more universal breadth.

WONDERFUL book on the evolution and production of "Fiddler on the Roof!"

WONDERFUL book on the evolution and production of "Fiddler on the Roof" at a great price and shipped in a timely manner - VERY pleased with the item AND the service!

Excellent Account of a Classic Musical

A thorough and well-researched account of the development of the classic play "Fiddler on the Roof" and the subsequent impact it had.

A behind the scenes reflection of a Broadway classic

The book covered the story of how the book and music came together, the casting, the out-of-town previews, the special issues of filming the story and how it was received around the world.

Titre: La chambre claire

Sous-titre: Note sur la photographie suivi d'un entretien avec Benoît Peeters

Auteur: Roland Barthes

Narrateur: Daniel Mesguich

Format: Unabridged

Durée: 3 hrs and 27 mins

Langue: Français

Date de publication: 03-16-16

Éditeur: Audiolib

Evaluation: 5 sur 5 sur 2 votes

Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Music

Résumé de l'éditeur:

Le jeu de Daniel Mesguich au service de l'écriture de Roland Barthes: l'ssociation de deux arts qui brillent par leur sensibilité, pour en sublimer un autre, celui de la photographie.

Marpa fut très remué lorsque son fils fut tué, et l'un de ses disciples dit :

"Vous nous disiez toujours que tout est illusion. Qu'en est-il de la mort de votre fils, n'est-ce pas une illusion ?"

Et Marpa répondit :

"Certes, mais la mort de mon fils est une super-illusion."

(Pratique de la voie tibétaine)

La Chambre claire se présente au départ comme un essai sur la photographie. À ce titre, il est devenu une référence majeure. Mais il s'agit aussi et surtout d'un superbe récit. Au moment où Roland Barthes découvre le lien essentiel entre la photographie et l'épreuve intime qui l'obsède- la mort de sa mère -, il parvient à nous emporter dans un cheminement à la recherche du temps perdu et de l'être aimé.

Comme l'explique Benoît Peeters dans l'entretien qui accompagne ici la bouleversante lecture de Daniel Mesguich, l'expérience la plus noire devient alors lumineuse ; c'est pourquoi ce livre, peut-être le plus beau de Roland Barthes, ne s'appelle pas la chambre obscure, mais bien La chambre claire.

Members Reviews:

Mumford & Sons Sigh No More fan treat

What made the experience of listening to Music Magnified: Mumford and Sons - Sigh No More the most enjoyable?

The breakdown starting with brief biographies of the band members. This was followed by historical info regarding the twelve songs that comprise the album, a look back at awards and nominations and finally a one on one interview with the author. Chris Brinkley is a radio announcer with keen perception of the music scene.

What other book might you compare Music Magnified: Mumford and Sons - Sigh No More to and why?

I understand this may be the first in a series on musical artists and albums. I currently can't compare with any other book or audio book.

Which scene was your favorite?

More of a complete picture of Mumford & Sons "Sigh No More". than a "scene".I'm a fan too, which initially attracted me to the brief work.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

It's an hour and two minutes long, and about a subject of interest, so, Yes, not only wanted to but did listen all in one sitting.

Any additional comments?

I'd like to see the series continue.

Thanks for the opportunity to listen to and review this interesting audio book.

A very interesting listen

Any additional comments?

I discovered Mumford and Sons from one record: I Will Wait and was immediately hooked by their energy and originality, so when I saw this book I couldn't wait to listen and I certainly wasn't disappointed.

For anyone who wants a clearer understanding of the lyrics as well as the background history to the group and the individuals within the group, then this is a great listen. I have listened to it once through in its entirety, but shall be listening to it again, at a much slower pace, as I work my way through the album.

Title: Naked at the Albert Hall

Subtitle: The Inside Story of Singing

Author: Tracey Thorn

Narrator: Tracey Thorn

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 hrs and 56 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-18-15

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 5 votes

Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Music

Publisher's Summary:

In her bestselling autobiography, Bedsit Disco Queen, Tracey Thorn recalled the highs and lows of a 30-year career in pop music. But with the touring, recording and extraordinary anecdotes, there wasn't time for an in-depth look at what she actually did for all those years: sing. She sang with warmth and emotional honesty, sometimes while battling acute stage fright.

Part memoir, part wide-ranging exploration of the art, mechanics and spellbinding power of singing, Naked at the Albert Hall takes in Dusty Springfield, Dennis Potter and George Eliot; Auto-Tune, the microphone and stage presence; The Streets and The X Factor.

Including interviews with fellow artists such as Alison Moyet, Romy Madley-Croft and Green Gartside of Scritti Politti and portraits of singers in fiction as well as Tracey's real-life experiences, it offers a unique, witty and sharply observed insider's perspective on the exhilarating joy and occasional heartache of singing.

Members Reviews:

Fascinating

So many interesting perspectives and provocative thoughts. I looked up many things as I listened to this audiobook and often listened to sections again. I enjoy Tracey Thorn's artistry and point of view.

Length: 4 hrs and 9 mins

Language: English

Release date: 04-29-15

Publisher: Roven Records Spoken Word

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 2 votes

Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Music

Publisher's Summary:

Fiddler on the Roof is one of the seminal musicals in the American musical theater canon, and this treasure chest of never-before-released private demos gives an insight into the creation of that masterpiece. Composer Jerry Bock would send a musical "seed" to lyricist Sheldon Harnick, who would then write the words. Hear Bock create the music for "Sunrise, Sunset". Hear Bock almost forget the tune to what would become "If I Were a Rich Man". Hear songs that never made it into the show. Hear 33 Jerry Bock songs that never even had lyrics. Plus a new interview with Sheldon Harnick, where he talks about working with Bock, Richard Rodgers, and others.

Members Reviews:

A Masterclass by any other name.......

For those who have always wondered how composers and lyricists work in tandem to create a piece of musical theater, this Roven Records audiobook invites you in to this Masterclass. More than likely this is the way the Rodgers and Hammerstein, Rodgers and Hart, Bernstein and Sondheim worked, so rather that a specific experience (and what a delightful experience this interchange is!) alone, Bock and Harnick present the key to understanding collaboration. The result? Entertaining and educational and fun...and a chance to hear some music that never saw the light of day in that terrific gold standard FIDDLER ON THE ROOF. A must for musical theater lovers and for students of composition both of music and lyrics. Grady Harp, May 15

Wow!!!

This is an amazing experience. You are in Jerry Bock's living room listening to him record for Sheldon Harnick the first chords of what will become 'Sunrise Sunset and the rest of the iconic Fiddler score'. Loved the interview with Sheldon Harnick! A must for anyone into musical theater. Can't wait to hear the rest of this series!

If you love musicals!

OMG. As a musical theater nut, I went crazy over this recording. Imagine hearing a composer create these songs!!!! I couldn't believe he almost forgot "If I Were A Rich Man." And I loved Mr. Harnick talking about the original title, "If I Were a Rothschild!" I only hope they release more of these tapes. I wonder if they have SHE LOVES ME! Or dare I ask for it? FIORELLO!?

Title: American Legends: The Life of Otis Redding

Author: Charles River Editors

Narrator: Dennis Logan

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 9 mins

Language: English

Release date: 04-22-15

Publisher: Charles River Editors

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 2 votes

Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Music

Publisher's Summary:

"If you want to be a singer, you've got to concentrate on it 24 hours a day. You can't be a well driller, too. You've got to concentrate on the business of entertaining and writing songs. Always think different from the next person. Don't ever do a song as you heard somebody else do it." (Otis Redding)

A lot of ink has been spilled covering the lives of history's most influential figures, but how much of the forest is lost for the trees? In Charles River Editors' American Legends series, listeners can get caught up to speed on the lives of America's most important men and women in the time it takes to finish a commute, while learning interesting facts long forgotten or never known.

At a time when the studios of Motown were turning out one sophisticated, well-groomed artist after another, reinforced by the latest studio technology and benefitting from a powerful marketing system, a parallel industry of more traditionally grounded soul music was also thriving, much of it in the city of Memphis, as represented by artists such as Otis Redding and Stax Records, the label with which Redding would eventually create six studio albums, 30 singles, worldwide fame, and a stellar musical legacy.

To some the Stax Records model may have lagged behind Motown in terms of modernity, with its adherence to older musical and technological modes, but in actuality Otis Redding and his musical circle represented a preservation movement of sorts and "exemplified to many listeners the power of Southern 'deep soul' - hoarse, gritty vocals, brassy arrangements, and an emotional way with both party tunes and aching ballads". Such was the perfect conduit for an artist like Otis Redding, who felt compelled by the lifelong urge to sing, years before his dreams of a professional life would ever be realized.

Members Reviews:

Wish This Fellow Was Still Around

Such a tragedy to loose this great music artist at age 26 just when he wrote his most iconic hit "Sittin' On the Dock of the Bay." Book was a fine account of the man's life I enjoyed reading while listening to many of his most popular tunes playing in the background on YouTube including such treasures as "These Arms of Mine" , "Respect" , "That's What My Heart Needs" "Satisfaction" , and "Can't Turn You Loose" to name but a few. For a guy that started out in life pumping gas, digging wells and parking cars he certainly had a significant impact on the music world. Leave you with my favorite quote by which I'll always remember him by, "Music could be a universal force, bringing together different races and cultures."

A Respectful Biography

Otis Redding was an enormous talent. This remembrance of him is very good and wonderfully straightforward. Thank you, Charles Rivers Editors, for your great book, which pays honest homage to this talented man.

Three Stars

It's ok, but vera very thin booklet
