October 25 @ CPM Music Institute Theater

On Friday 25 October, at 6.30 pm, "Suonare il Country" will be presented, the book written by our Teacher at the Three-Year Academic Guitar Course Claudio Bazzari and Milo Bazzari and published by CPM Music Publishing. Following this, the two authors will perform, interpreting some songs taken from the Country and Blues repertoire. Free entry.

“Playing Country” tells of a style of music, country, strongly rooted in the culture and history of the United States of America, which was shaped during the 20th century and from which numerous styles such as bluegrass and rockabilly were born . With this book the two authors offer a synthesis of the most used guitar techniques and an anthology of original songs where you can immediately put these techniques into practice and develop your own phrasing. Use of open strings, rhythmic strings, hybrid picking, Travis picking, pedal steel, pentatonic scales, scale harmonization for intervals of thirds and sixths, fundamental elements which find an exhaustive, simple and effective treatment in this book. All examples are equipped with audio and related backing tracks.

The book is full of practical advice on how to obtain the twang, or rather the typical guitar sound characteristic of country music, and there is a recommended discography to learn more about this fascinating musical genre.
