Pascual
Strikes Again.
Which is
really good news!
We've
seen him do thirds, now he's on to the fourths.
Do you see a pattern developing??? We often
neglect that which we believe is below our
contempt--we've passed this simple stuff, so we
don't need to ever look at it again. Well, take
it from me, you can always learn form even the
simplest of exercises.
Pulled from page 16 of the 1922 Schirmer Edition
of Method for Guitar Volume
2 by Pascual Roch, please don't be offended by
the simplicity of the exercise. I know, everyone
always looks at this for the first time and says
"But this is all scales and no
intervals." Then they look at the drop of a
third after every fourth note and think old
Pascual was too deep into the Rioja for
his own good. Nope. The fourths are outlined
between the first and fourth notes in each
grouping, Drop the second and third note in each
group and tell me what you've got! Actually, that
is one of my little exercise ploys. I drop a note
on each run through, sort of like 'And Bingo was
his name-oh!' Work with this little exercise and
have some fun. It's a good warm-up tool.
Enjoy these
exercises and come back next week for more!.

LOW END
By Harry George Pellegrin. The
first in the Gary Morrissey series of mysteries. Dealing
with modern subject matter in the classic style of the 1940's
Mystery Noire masters--think Raymond Chandler in New York in the
1980's... LOW END is the story of a drug addict who is
murdered after he believes he has found evidence of a major
government conspiracy. Is it only drug-induced paranoia?
Might be, except his paranoia could be considered justified: he
was murdered, after all. Friend Gary Morrissey takes it
upon himself to find out just what happened and lands himself in
the crosshairs.

Reflecting Pools
Original Music by Harry G. Pellegrin:
Reflecting Pools is a departure for me
as it is totally keyboard. Well, the guitar did show up on one
track...
"...Reflecting Pools is a notable first album [for
Mr. Pellegrin]. A dramatic sense of tonality and mood are
propelled by exemplary musicianship and exciting compositional
exploits."
...And containing nine tracks that are relaxing, inspirational
-- sounds like a snooze. Not really, this is great stuff to
listen to on a rainy afternoon, while with your significant
other (nudge, nudge, know what I mean?)
