Barrett Tagliarino: metalichicka interview with paul gilbert and scott henderson

News:
01-03-2009:
Jenn really has out done herself this time with a really full interview with Barrett Tagliarino... here's just a small excerpt:

I had gotten to know Paul because a mutual friend recommended he see me for lessons. One of the things Paul wanted to learn about was a 13sus4 chord that was on some Jeff Beck and Chaka Khan CDs he brought over. Paul was interested in how this chord was used compositionally and what you might play over it, things like that. There’s no 3rd in it so you can use it more than one way.



When I asked Paul if he’d like to play on a track for me, he said yes, and somewhat jokingly requested that he get to play over as many 13sus4 chords as possible. I knew it wasn’t really a requirement, but I found a place to stick a whole series of them in a song, “Den of Vipers,” and it sounded pretty cool. I let him hear all the tunes as I was writing, and he wanted either “Den of Vipers,” or “Healer,” because it also had some interesting chord changes.

“Den of Vipers” was one of the songs I decided not to include on this CD. Right now I’m planning to make it a bonus track for people who buy the CD and want to hear more. It’s mixed, but not mastered yet. Paul wound up with “Healer” and really tore it up. Great job.

I knew Scott because we taught at the same place for years, have a lot of friends in common, and I’ve gone to see him play many times. I had him in mind while I was writing “Devil’s House Party,” though as with Paul I would have been happy to let him pick any tune he wanted. Scott’s a great blues player, but besides all his Hendrixy vocabulary he can incorporate jazz ideas without losing the vibe. I intentionally wrote a blues progression that hangs out on the V chord (Bb7 in the key of Eb) for a long time, eight measures, because I wanted to hear him do this diminished stuff that he’s been freaking everybody out with for years. He did not disappoint!

Barrett Tagliarino: guitar idol 2009 heat 2

News:

We're nearing the end of HEAT 2:

Heat 2 closes on February 15th 2009 5pm (GMT) Voting will be open throughout the heat. Top 20 by public vote and 20 chosen by the Judges will progress to the final online heat. The 20 Judges choices will be announced before February 20th 2009. If you are not successful in Heat 2 you can re-enter – either with the same entry or a new song – in Heat 3.

This song contains an excessive amount of notes, especially in the second half. The melody uses quick whammy bar scoops. The legato string-skipping arpeggios in the second bridge may be interesting to the technique-oriented guitarist.

Guitar: Jackson Soloist
Amp: Dumble Overdrive Special
Effects used: Whammy pedal on backing track. No other pedals or effects.

Bass: Alexis Sklarevski
Drums: Jon Rygiewicz
Engineered by Billy Burke under the sometimes-watchful eye of his dog, Banjo.

Dust Commander was the winning horse in the 1970 Kentucky Derby.

Barrett Tagliarino: transcribing paul gilbert

News:

Jenn posts an interesting letter from Barrett Tagliarino discussing the process of transcription for Paul Gilbert's recent DVD. Barrett Tagliarino says:

He brought over a guitar each time, usually an Ibanez. One day he had a “reverse Iceman” they’d custom-made for him. The neck on this guitar was especially thick. He plugged into an old Mesa Boogie MKIII that I have here and showed me what he wanted. Occasionally I would have to pick up a guitar too when we weren’t sure about a rhythmic subdivision, like the fast stuff and rubato sections on Eudaimonia.
