  • Eric Lugosch Bio-2
    Eric Lugosch Bio Musical Beginnings Eric’s involvement with music started before he ever played the guitar. As a youngster, he was a first soprano in the Philadelphia Boys’ Choir. His mom sang in nightclubs and played piano. “She was French and would burlesque around the house imitating Edith Piaf and singing French folk songs,” Eric muses. Eric’s oldest brother was influential early on and seeded his interests in music. “While my brother was in Vietnam, I had access to his record collection - the jazz greats like Miles Davis, John Coltrane, and Dave Brubeck.” It was after his brother returned and started to take guitar lessons, that Eric began to play. “I would sneak into his room, pick up his guitar, and figure out the tabs on my own. That was my introduction to Mississippi John Hurt, Reverend Gary Davis, Doc Watson and Pete Seeger.” Achievements In 1983 Eric won third place at the prestigious National Fingerpicking Championship in Winfield, Kansas. Inspired by his competitors, he came back the next year along with some of his original compositions and won first place. At age 25, he was the youngest winner at the time. The win gave a boost to his burgeoning career as a fingerstyle guitarist, which launched him into the national, and later international, spotlight. Soon after, Eric released his first recording, Strike, which is an original suite for guitar, flute and bass. Then in 1988, Eric moved from Philadelphia to the Midwest and started teaching at the renowned Old Town School of Folk Music in Chicago where he remained for 25 years teaching fingerstyle guitar classes and private lessons.

  • 007Th Chords by Laurence Juber
    PlayJazzGuitar.com Free jazz guitar lessons to subscribers More jazz guitar lessons 007th Chords By Laurence Juber www.LaurenceJuber.com Bond, James Bond As a kid one of my favorite reading activities was to see how fast I could finish the latest Ian Fleming ‘James Bond’ novel while listening to my favourite band, the Shadows. With the release of ‘Dr No’ in 1962, Monty Norman’s ‘Bond’ theme, with its twangy guitar riff arranged by John Barry, became an instant classic. Later, when I started taking guitar lessons I was intrigued by the ‘adult’ musical vocabulary of this style of music, which seemed so much more sophisticated, than most of the pop or classic jazz that I was hearing on the BBC - although there were some pretty advanced voicings in some of George Harrison’s Beatle parts. Minor, Melodic Minor The text-book melodic minor scale suggests a rivalry between the ascending major 6th and major 7th versus the descending minor 6th and 7th, when in practice, these alternates coexist. The fun begins when it is harmonized with triads and upper partials. Compared with the major scale, the number of possible chords is effectively doubled and, other than the tonic, each scale tone is available in two different flavours. The scale also allows for the dominant minor V chord ex 1 The ii-V(or v)-i progression, for example, exists in four versions, the ascending, descending and the hybrids i.e. b6 #7 and #6 b7. ex 2 Seventh, Major Seventh Take the tonic chord in E minor for example.
