Seminal Influences of Top TrueFire Educators
Every musician has a long list of other musicians, past and present, that have inspired, influenced and helped shape their own sound and musicality. It’s the natural evolution of music. We asked Scott Sharrard to pass on to you some of the key learnings that his Guitar Heroes passed on to him.
”Johnny “Guitar” Watson, Charlie Christian, Grant Green, Lowell George, Duane Allman, and Jimi Hendrix, are just a few of the players that greatly influenced my sound, as I’m sure they influenced many other guitarists as well.
I’ll first show you a few of the techniques and approaches that I picked up from each one of them and then we’ll play through a series of performance studies for musical context, complete with all of TrueFire’s learning tools to help you work through the content.
We’ll start with Johnny “Guitar” Watson who I consider to be one of the most innovative blues players who also invented his own brand of funk guitar.
Arguably the first musician to popularize the electric, he is one of the inventors of bebop jazz and also one of the first guitarists to develop his own distinct tone and rhythmic feel – the one and only Charlie Christian…
Grant Green is known as one of the greatest jazz guitarists of all time, but he’s also a huge influence on a lot of rock players. In this course we’ll explore his unique style of funk lead guitar playing…
Lowell George was an incredible singer and songwriter and also one of my favorite slide players of all time. He played in a distinctive open tuning style with a metal slide and was a huge influence in all forms of rock and roll that came after it.
Duane Allman, the founder of the allman brothers band, was not only one of the most influential slide players of all time. He also developed his own distinct fingerstyle approach that made him one of the greatest blues rock players of all time.
Simply put, Jimi Hendrix is my favorite artist of all time and the most innovative musical artist in recorded music history. We’re gonna focus on his sound and style at the end of his career playing with the band of gypsies.”
Scott will first introduce his heroes to you and describe why he found them so influential. After each discussion, he will then present a performance study illustrating those influences in a musical context, over a backing track. A breakdown follows every performance and Scott will explain and demonstrate all of the key concepts and approaches in play.
You’ll get standard notation and tabs for all of the performance studies. Plus, you’ll be able to use TrueFire’s learning tools to sync the tab and notation to the video lesson. You can also loop or slow down the videos so that you can work with the lessons at your own pace. All of the backing tracks are included to work with on your own as well.
Grab your guitar and let’s dig in with Scott Sharrard!
