140 voicings & 10 picking patterns of the gypsy guitar masters Derived from Spanish mythology, the term 'duende' refers to a heightened state of emotion in response to a piece of art or music. "El duende is the spirit of evocation. It is what gives you chills, makes you smile or cry as a bodily reaction to an artistic performance that is particularly expressive.The authenticity and soulfulness of blues, jazz, folk and especially gypsy music is what triggers duende in the hearts of minds of their audiences. As a student of guitar, you've likely already been exposed to blues, jazz and folk music, all of which have influenced all forms of popular music from rock to pop and everything in between.

Thanks to Raughi Ebert and Leo Henrichs, the guitar duo known as Tierra Negra, you are now just a click away from a timeless and creative resource for guitar players; Magic Gypsy Chords and Rhythms. While rooted in the history, music and culture of the gypsies of Andalusia, these "magical" chords, progressions and rhythms have also influenced a wide range of contemporary latin, rock, jazz, dance, singer-songwriter and pop music.

In a way, Magic Gypsy Chords and Rhythms is 25 years in the making. That's how long Raughi and Leo have been studying the history, culture and music of the gypsies. They've traveled the world to meet and study with the gypsy masters, documenting their specific chord voicings, fingerpicking patterns, techniques and subtle nuances of the style.

For this curriculum, Raughi and Leo selected 140 of their favorite chord voicings and 35 of the most versatile picking and rhythmic patterns for you to learn, reference and call on whether you intend to play modern interpretations, compose original music or perform traditional gypsy Flamenco - either way, this resource is priceless.

The material is presented in an interactive format designed to get you up and running quickly without having to struggle through boring exercises or tedious theory; you will play your way through the course and you can do so on any electric or acoustic guitar you own.

The course is organized into 10 sections where each section features a particular gypsy "cadence," aka chord progression, in a different key. Each of the 10 sections also feature four variations of chord voicings and rhythmic patterns for the featured progression.

Within each variation, Raughi and Leo will demonstrate a performance example and then provide a detailed breakdown of the techniques, chord voicings and fingerpicking patterns being used.

You'll practice all of the progressions, patterns and variations with Raughi and Leo using the slow and at-tempo playalongs that they've also included in ALL of the sections for ALL of the variations. Everything is tabbed and notated, plus you'll get all of the playalong click tracks to practice with on your own.

Your El duende awaits!

"To help us seek duende there is neither map nor discipline. All one knows is that it burns the blood like powdered glass, that it exhausts, that it rejects all the sweet geometry one has learned, that it breaks with all styles."
- Federico Garcia Lorca, Poet

Mr Naimpalli received his training from one of the great educators of tabla, Pandit Taranath Rao. Taranathji's analysis of the repertoire of tabla was based in logic and practicality and this approach is clearly evident in Sadanand Naimpaili's video. Sadanand is one of the finest maestros of tabla. The DVD covers in detail both theory and practice. This is required reading and viewing for anyone wanting to learn to play tabla.

Discover what it's like to develop your own backends with Node by mastering image uploads with Swift

Hoping to build more complex apps than you're currently capable of?

See for yourself how easy it is to develop your own mobile app backends with NodeStruggling to implement image uploads in an iPhone app you're currently working on?

Master image uploads to Amazon S3 once and for allHalf of any great mobile app is the backend, yet there are few resources online to teach beginners how to develop API's to power their apps. Most iOS development courses will point you towards Parse and Firebase, and in my opinion, this is a waste of time.In the process of bootstrapping large, real-world mobile apps, I found that backend-as-a-service platforms were insufficient to fully realise my ideas, so I learned to build my own backends. API development with node is easy and you'll never look back.
This is a mini-course, just to give you a feel for what it's like to develop backends with Node. I'll be covering the installation of Node, and some basic Javascript syntax for beginners. I'll then explain how to use the Express microframework, and we'll use it to upload some images from an iPhone app to Amazon S3.

The tunes in this collection evoke a time when American Roots music crystallized and was transformed by the effects of recordings and radio. Some of these selections were written for guitar, others are adaptations from piano and jazz band arrangements. A long list of Roots Music fingerstyle guitarists particularly influenced the material covered in Fingerstyle Roots, Rags & Blues; Duck Baker, Pat Donohue, Woody Mann, Steve James, Eric Lugosch, Eric Schonberg, Ernie Hawkins, Dakota Dave Hull, Phil Heywood, Guy van Duser, Lasse Johansson, Andy Ellis and Teja Gerken.

Tim Sparks has been redefining the acoustic guitar repertoire since he won the US National Fingerstyle Championship in 1993 with a ground-breaking arrangement of Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite. Since then, Sparks has continued to surprise, challenge, and thrill audiences with his diverse repertoire and stunning technique. Equally at home within the Country Blues, Ragtime, Jazz or World Music genres, Sparks' extraordinary ability to adapt virtually any music to the solo guitar has earned him an international reputation as one of the most innovative guitarists working today.

Sparks has seven solo CDs to his credit including The Nutcracker Suite, One String Leads to Another and Guitar Bazaar on Peter Finger's Acoustic Music Records. He has also recorded four projects for John Zorn's Tzadik label, Neshamah, Tanz, At the Rebbe's Table and Masada Guitars, (with Bill Frisell and Marc Ribot).

Fingerstyle Roots, Rags & Blues presents two completely different arrangements of "Amazing Grace," a rendition of Mother Maybelle Carter's "Victory Rag" and early Jazz and Blues by the likes of Jelly Roll Morton, Scott Joplin and Eubie Blake. Sparks breaks down each tune, passage by passage, in detailed video explanations, notation and tabs that not only allow you to play the songs, but also gives you a treasure trove of chord voicings, licks, scales and turnarounds to use in your playing.

Here's someone's summary of the course:

If you want to learn how to create information products the right way, you need to do it like other Internet marketing Gurus because they earn millions on the Internet.

I learned a lot from the Guru Mastermind videos, and I am going to give you the 3 pillars of any ebook business on the Internet.

Before we start, I want to give you a big secret that almost nobody tell.

Are you ready for the truth?

You are not going to be rich online selling or promoting a $47 ebook. You need to create a high converting sales funnel to make money on the backend.

Now that you know that, let's start on the right foundations.

The 3 Pillar of Any Ebook Business

Guru Strategy #1: The money is in the lead

Many beginners fail online because they send direct traffic to their landing page and ignore the fact that 98% of their visitors will never buy from the first time.

On the other hand, smart marketers know that they need to capture the name and email address of their potential customers.

Then, they will send them more content, and even free chapters of their ebook to close the sale.

Guru Strategy #2: Upsell

Immediately after capturing a lead, you want to present a new offer to any lead who enter into your sales funnel. There is an art to do this without upsetting your customers.

Guru Strategy #3: Backend

This is where the real money is in the ebook business.

In fact, your ebook is only a lead generator, and you may even lose money on advertising. It doesn't matter since your goal is to sell higher priced items.
