    WORLD MUSIC GUITAR "Jarabi, kora music from Mali”. World Music Guitar @ www.fernandoperezguitar.com This is a wonderful song belonging to the West African music tradition. I originally heard it by Mali kora players from the Mandinka people.

    Bass Masterclass, Module 9, Creating Basslines, Lesson 5: Seems to me that there is a mistake in the notation. It should be a B-E-F#-E-progression but the first 2 beats with B (0:00) are missing and the written phrase is shifted and not corresponding to your playing. In Lesson 4 you speak about rhythmical inversion (1:05). Maybe you made this mistake with purpose, to check if we really practice th...

If I play the A string with the thumb, the E string can be muted with the left hand. This is not possi...

    Welcome to the World Music Method 3.0 I'm realising that some of the issues in the world stem from a lacking connection to art. Rulers of the old world had their court musicians, their griots, people around them who lived in the creative mode whose presence would offer balance to decision making. Modern governments are missing that connection and live on stats, data and dominant left brain func...
