 At the top of Cremona’s Maestro Series is a re-creation of the legendary “Hellier” Strad. The “Hellier” is the most famous of Antonio Stradivari’s inlaid violins. Originally purchased by Sir Samuel Hellier in the early 18th century directly from the Master, the instrument eventually passed to Mr. H.E. Morriss, a Shanghai newspaper publisher. Fortunately, Mr. Morriss took the Hellier with him to England before World War II; after World War II, Morriss saw all of his Shanghai possessions confiscated by the revolutionary functionaries of Mao Zedong and put on display as “plunder”. The original “Hellier” is presently in the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C.

There are many methods claiming to teach guitarists how to improvise jazz guitar by providing endless scale charts, arpeggios for practice, and technical exercises aimed at learning notes by rote.
Back in the 1940′s, the guitarist Charlie Christian devised a system for easily improvising over complex chord changes. His ideas revolutionized electric guitar playing, and the art of improvisation once and for all. Every guitarist since his time owes him a debt of gratitude.
In this guitar method, learn how to apply the concepts Charlie Christian used in order to open up your view of the guitar neck. You will find that you can improvise over any chord progression with just a little practice.
This method breaks down some of the most compelling jazz/swing guitar solos every played into understandable bites, and keeps everything grounded in solid, simple theory to be sure that the reader can apply the concepts and create new ideas in this style. Naturally, many of the melodic fragments used in the accompanying solos have become classics of the Jazz repertoire, first adopted by jazz greats Barney Kessel, Joe Pass, and Jim Hall, as well as blues legends T-Bone Walker and B.B. King (among many others). Learning these concepts is like going back to the well of ideas and drinking from the coolness yourself, instead of simply copying a handful of licks and recycling them…
This Kindle version allows you to read the text and view the diagrams, but you will need to use your PC/Mac to hear the audio examples, which the author will provide you if you contact him for the PDF/Audio version – don’t miss that one, just email him (email address is in the Kindle book).

Yamaha Education Suite: Helps you learn to play
The DGX530 has 30 built-in songs (plus 70 more on the included CD-ROM) for you to learn to play using the Yamaha Education Suite. The songs are separated into left and right hand parts, providing 7 levels of lessons plus a convenient chord dictionary.

- Waiting Mode–Stops the playback of a song until you find the correct note and then continues.
- Your Tempo Mode–Learn to play the correct notes with the correct timing. Song playback tempo will vary to match the speed you are playing at. The song will slow down when you play wrong notes, so you can learn at your own pace.
- Minus One Mode–Here’s where you can perfect your technique. The song will play at the normal tempo, minus the part you have chosen to play. Play along while listening to the song.
- Lesson Grading–Monitors your progress as you practice each lesson and gives you a grade.
- Repeat and Learn–The song location will move back four measures from the point at which you pressed the button, and playback will begin after a one measure count-in. This section will repeat allowing you to practice until perfect!
- Chord Dictionary–Shows you how to play chords and tells you which chords you are playing by displaying the notes and chord names on the LCD screen.
6-Track Sequencer

Quality Sound

Full Keyboard Mode
The DGX530 delivers on its piano theme with a special mode of fingering called Full Keyboard Mode. This allows the player to play the keyboard like a piano; for example a chord with the right hand and bass notes with the left. When using the accompaniment feature, the virtual band will follow these chords. Traditional portable keyboards normally require you to chord on the left side of the keyboard, in the bass section, which is foreign to most piano players. The DGX530 is also capable of this mode, for those who prefer it.
