We had beautiful fall Colorado weather, the performances were wonderful, and the workshops were truly inspirational. One of the highlights for me was the Traditional Hawaiian Fishing seminar presented by Mark Kahalekulu on Thursday afternoon. Mark had given this seminar earlier in the year at the Aurora History Museum in Denver, and I asked him if he would reprise it for us at the festival. Mark provided music on his guitar along with videos of his grandkids swimming among the reefs, all as background to the engaging stories he told about growing up as a kid in Hawaiʻi and fishing with his family. One of his stories was Performing for the Ft. Collins audience on Thursday, Joe Stewart about how they would go out in the evening to set their nets on steel guitar, Mark Kahalekulu on bass, Capt. Ivan Reddington in a secret spot in the reef, and then go out the next morning on rhythm guitar and new member Jeanne Skybrook on ‘ukulele. before dawn to haul in the lobsters they had caught. Lobster and Portuguese sausage for breakfast—ono! park. The kaukau was so ono! The menu included teriyaki There were other stories as well, and the way Mark told chicken, fried rice, kalua pork and braised short ribs. And as them made you feel as though you could feel the chill of the guests, dressed in their finest Hawaiian wear, enjoyed their water, taste the salty spray of the ocean, and hear the lob­ delicious dinner and cocktails, we were all treated to a spec­ sters squeal.

Do you often feel that you don’t know what to play or that you repeat yourself far too much, when confronted with such a request? When you watch the blues masters play, they are having fun on stage. They seem to be performing from a place within themselves that is free and careless. A place where they don’t have to think ‘what to play’ anymore. Perhaps you think that you should be born with some kind of natural talent and that you probably don’t possess this talent. The truth is that the masters of blues guitar aren’t born with this talent.

And deserving or not, guitarists have a reputation for having less-than-perfect time. But it’s not as if perfect meter makes you a perfect rhythm player. There’s something else. Something elusive. A swing, a feel, or a groove—you know it when you hear it, or feel it. Each player on this list has “it,” regardless of genre, and if there’s one lesson all of these players espouse it’s never take rhythm for granted. Ever. Deciding who made the list was not easy, however. In fact, at times it seemed downright impossible.

  • 18 Th and 19 Th Century Who Had an Impact on Later Developments in Jazz Guitar
    The development of the Electric Jazz Guitar in the 20 th century – by Pebber Brown One of the areas that is historically very important but sorely missing from any music texts, is that of the history of the jazz guitar and its players. In this essay, I will explore some of its early origins as an instrument and briefly look at some of the significant early guitar players of the 18 th and 19 th century who had an impact on later developments in jazz guitar. Moving into the early part of the 20 th century, I will also explore some of the influential non-classical guitarists who influenced the acceptance of the guitar as a viable jazz instrument, and lastly I will explore the importance of the invention of the electric guitar an look at some of the less well known but very important jazz guitarists of the 20 th century. Some insight into the origins of the guitar The guitar was invented many centuries ago in Spain as a predecessor of older Middle-Eastern stringed instruments such as the Zither, and the Lyre. The first guitars had less strings on them and were called "Chitarra." These instruments were played up until the 17th century when the more modern "Guitarra" was invented in Spain. The Guitarra later became the "Guitar," and it made its way to Northern Europe and in England and the Netherlands they created their own version of it called the Lute. Lutes are most called "Baroque" lutes pertaining to the music played on them during the Baroque period.
