Tonechaser - tonechaser vol 1

Steven Rosen

Tonechaser is the first in a series of audiobooks based around the hardback titled Tonechaser – Understanding Edward: My 26-Year Journey with Edward Van Halen. Veteran rock journalist and author Steve Rosen narrates the nearly 20-hour audiobook but all the interviews between Rosen and the legendary guitarist which occur in the 580-page hardback utilize the actual archival recordings made by Steve dating all the way back to 1978. So, what you are hearing in Tonechaser – Vol. 1 are hours and hours of extraordinarily rare, never before heard conversations presented here for the first time. 
There has never been an audiobook such as this one. Rosen had a unique friendship with Van Halen no other writer ever experienced. Because of this very close and meaningful relationship, many of the interviews embedded in Tonechaser – Vol. 1 reveal a profound depth of respect and trust between writer and rockstar. 
Van Halen fans will truly love this audiobook. Tonechaser – Vol. 1 is an important piece in the history of Edward Van Halen and a stunning tribute to the legacy of the late and legendary guitarist.

Guitar for Beginners - How to...

Gareth Evans

Welcome to Guitar for Beginners. This book explains in a comprehensive yet simple way, the fundamentals of how to play the guitar. With over 180 photographic examples, illustrations and purpose made diagrams, the book also includes 42 downloadable mp3 tracks.
Subjects a beginner is better off knowing now, rather than later, are covered, such as technique for left and right hand, using a plectrum, alternate picking, scale and chord construction, fretboard layout and how to navigate around it, chord changes, strumming, basic theory and plenty more.
Melodies - Musical pieces for you to play are used to make the learning process practical and enjoyable. In various styles like Pop, Blues, Jazz, Country and Rock, each piece has a demonstration track and a backing track for you to play over. The standard and commonly used system for reading music for the guitar, known as tablature, is clearly explained and used throughout. To get you started and straight into playing music, numbers have been added underneath guitar tablature to assist you with understanding the rhythm.
Playing Chords - Changing between chords and strumming are approached separately at first, so you can develop coordination in each hand independently. They are then brought together, starting with easy exercises, getting gradually more advanced until there is a rhythm guitar musical piece to play.
Music Theory - The major scale, minor scale, pentatonic scales and basic chord construction are explained in terms of the fretboard and are re-inforced by being used in musical pieces in various styles, putting the theory into context.
ReadingRhythm - Musical notation almost always features with guitar tablature, so a chapter is dedicated to reading rhythm from notation. This will give you a fuller understanding of how it works alongside tablature, which on its own does not indicate rhythm.
Further Techniques - Further techniqes are explored including power chords, movable barre chords, palm muting, basic lead guitar techniques and improvising. All with musical pieces.
What Else? - Each chapter ends with a set of questions to revise your knowledge. All answers are at the back of the book, along with advice on how to practice guitar and a handy chart for all major scales and their note names.

Diamond is Fragile

Rustem Valayev

"The novels about precious stones tell about the nature, structure and search of the gems, as well as their history. Some of them are dedicated to the Russian gems, specifically to the Ural and Ukrainian emeralds, topazes and decorative stones. The thrilling storylines of the novels are interwoven with folk legends, myths and fairy tales." - Rustem Valayev, author 
"Diamond is Fragile was one of my favorite books from my late grandfather's library. Much to my surprise (and dismay) it was only published once in the former Soviet Union approximately 50 years ago and (to the best of my knowledge) has never been published abroad. 
I was inspired to translate Diamond is Fragile into English by my father-in-law - Thom Seymour, Sr. - due to his passion for geology and history (topics amply covered in the book). I hope that other English-speaking readers who are interested in these disciplines will enjoy it as well." - Maria K., translator
