A 48-page book which provides plenty of tunes and easily understood instructions for playing the Irish bouzouki. The bouzouki, it origins, the history of the instrument, and the styles of its finest practitioners are analyzed. Since the bouzoukis introduction to Ireland it has developed a personality and an Irish identity all of its own. The instrument and its unique sound are now part and parcel of Irish music. With the help of this book, you can add a new dimension to traditional Irish music. The book starts with a fairly thorough description, with many pictures and a few diagrams, of the parts, interior, and construction of the Irish-style bouzouki. It also mentions how the Irish bouzouki fits into the lute family and its Greek bouzouki origin.There are about two pages of pictures and instructions on how to hold the bouzouki, and a couple of pages about strumming and typical rhythms in Irish dance music. There are two pages on scales and the location of notes on a GDAD (G2 D3 A3 D4) and ADAD (A2 D3 A3 D4) tuned fretboards, and one and a quarter pages each of fingering diagrams for chords for GDAD and ADAD tunings. Other tunings, such as mandolin and upper-4 guitar tunings are mentioned, but no chord charts.Most of the book (more than twenty pages) is taken up with treble clef notated tunes with letter chords that match all but a couple of the 15 tracks of Irish music on the companion CD. (The notated tunes are listed below.) Two tunes, Bridget and Brackagh Hill have lyrics. The CD has two other tracks played on Greek tzouras and tetrachordo bouzoukis which have no matching notation in the book. The tunes section has half-page photos and half-page blurb biographies of the bouzouki players from the CD.On the whole, the book seems to me like a quarter-version each of a chord-book and tune book (do the math). It would be appropriate as a book to for a first-time bouzouki buyer along with the instrument, just to get started. The chords and fingerings are only a basic set, adequate for the tunes notated in the book, and include no mention of sliding-pattern chords or chords where a course of strings is left out. The book will need to be be supplemented with larger chord and fingering charts downloaded from enthusiasts web pages, and with other tune books. Unfortunately, this is the only chord-book that Ive found for Irish bouzouki on Amazon US, except for Irish Bouzouki Chord Bible (Fretted Friends Series) , which appears to be just what I want, but costs hundreds of dollars! On Amazon UK, you can get the same thing for about 20 pounds.GDAD Chord list (ADAD very nearly the same):A Maj, A min (2 versions), A7B min (2 versions)Bb Maj, Bb minC Maj, C openD open, D7E Maj, E min, E openF MajG min, G open (2 versions)List of Notated Tunes:Brackagh HillBridgetCarolans DraughtConnachtmans RamblesDoctor Gilberts ReelEamonn aChnoicFearghaill OGaras ReelGold RingLads of LaoisLucky in LoveMist-Covered MountainNiamhs CapersPaddy went to LondonReturn to MilltownRights of ManTrip to LerwickWalshs HornpipeWise MaidWoman I Never Forgot The Irish Bouzouki in Arts and Photography pdf books The Irish Bouzouki Bouzouki The Irish Zunächst werden die zur konzeptionellen und Bouzouki Realisierung notwendigen Grundlagen der IT-basierten Managementunterstützung durch Management Support Bohzouki sowie die Grundlagen für die Anwendung von Künstlichen Neuronalen Netzen (KNN) Bokzouki quantitativen Prognose beschrieben.

  • Evdokia's Zeibekiko
    European Scientific Journal December 2017 edition Vol.13, No.35 ISSN: 1857 – 7881 (Print) e - ISSN 1857- 7431 The Bouzouki’s Signifiers and Significance Through the Zeibekiko Dance Song: "Evdokia’s Zeibekiko" Evangelos Saragatsis Musician, Secondary Education Teacher, Holder Of Postgraduate Diploma Ifigeneia Vamvakidou Professor at the University of Western Macedonia, Greece Doi: 10.19044/esj.2017.v13n35p125 URL:http://dx.doi.org/10.19044/esj.2017.v13n35p125 Abstract The objective of this study is to identify the signifiers and significance of the Zeibekiko dance, and those of the bouzouki itself, to a further extent, as they emerge through research conducted in the relevant literature, and which is anchored to those signifiers, as they are highlighted through their presence in material that is obtained from movies. The semiotic analysis of the film “Evdokia”, by A. Damianos (1971), is the research method that is followed. In this context, the main focus is placed on the episode/scene, where Evdokia’s Zeibekiko is displayed on stage. This ‘polytropic’ (polymodal) material that consists of listening to, viewing, playing music, and dancing encompasses a large variety of musicological and gender signifiers that refer to the specific era. The model followed is that of Greimas (1996), as it was used by Lagopoulos & Boklund-Lagopoulou (2016), and Christodoulou (2012), in order to point out those characteristic features that are expressed by the bouzouki, as a musical instrument, through a representative sample of the zeibekiko dance, as it is illustrated in the homonymous film. The analysis of images, as well as of the language message, lead to the emergence of codes, such as the one referring to the gender, and also the symbolic, value, and social codes, and it is found that all these codes agree with the introductory literature research conducted on the zeibekiko dance and the bouzouki.

  • A Way of Life
    The Passenger: Greece — May 2020 ISBN: 9781787702189 A Way of Life Matteo Nucci Translated by Alan Thawley Rebetiko is rebel music by definition (challenging power, war and conformism), part of the cultural baggage of those displaced from Asia Minor. In recent years it has been reborn and is once again releasing its revolutionary potential. I was initiated into rebetiko by a Russian. His name is Yanni, a skinny guy with a glassy look in his eyes softened by a glint of non-conformity. He carries himself with respect and delicacy, and sooner or later you will come across him if you have fallen in love with this unique music and start frequenting the right places in Athens, the old-time venues that cannot be named because they have to stay on the margins of the law. You will see him bent over his tsipouro, the Greek version of grappa, and his cigarettes rolled from the best tobacco. A blond dandy, a peaceful rebel. Yanni Litovchenko smokes like a rebetis, a rebetiko musician, but he does not play and does not sing. He sits on the margins of these rooms full of music and ashtrays. And he listens. He dreams. Sometimes he will let out a yell or sing a verse under his breath. He has a passion for this music, and if you fall under its spell, succumb to the tales that he tells and his amazing night-time pilgrimages, perhaps you might have the same experience as me. At the beginning I thought he was just an unusual character.
