 |

Hallo!
Is a collection of Guthrie's columns, which appeared in the magazine "Guitar Techniques", anywhere available?
Best regards
Johnny |

Well i dont know about that! I'd rather have the collection of GT articles and im sure alot of other people would too. Very few guitar players would have the chops for EC whilst GT columns cover all ranges. Even in theoretical terms I would see EC transcriptions as quite limited in terms of direct pedagogical potential for alot of guitar players when compared to the GT columns.
As far as either happening i would have thought the EC album would be more likely. Especially if he continues to gain ground in the U.S. Maybe publish via Cornford. It would be the holy grail of transcription work. Has Guthrie said its not going to happen? I would love to see it done ala the fives track with bluesjam tracks. I would pay alot more for it too!

It's not so much that Guthrie isn't interested, he just has too many other things on his plate right now. He has a very busy clinic-workshop schedule with more in the works and his top priority is getting the next album done at the moment.

you know us Ed,
we're just happy that Guthrie is here making the music he does 
Im not going to destroy the potential market for a tab book by just giving these away, i have traded a few for various collectables but want to keep the option there for Guthrie,
the same gos for the new CD, ill get right on transcribing that to when it comes
the impression i got from guthrie is that he isnt overly happy with alot of his playing on there, so to have it written down for people to look at makes him feel uncomfortable, we all know how conscious guthrie is of his playing. I appreciate that hes never happy with what hes done etc etc, we all eel like that i guess (its just guthrie is slightly delusional when he has those thoughts! haha)
i just like transcribing  |

Well that's to be expected. I was just thinking from the point of view of say BluesJamTracks and the great work jan has done there with the videos and his transcriptions that it would be in the pipeline because if you look at things from a demand supply perspective it's a no-brainer. Also i think it's important it happens from the point of view of his legacy and making it possible for the most amount of people to study and learn his music.
MissMissTreater what software do you use in your transcription work? I mean to slow down the tracks and bring out the parts? I use ASD but certain tracks on EC prove a bit tricky even with that!

i can set up a/b loops, and reduce tempo and it has basic eq tweaking functions, its not perfect, but i just counter it with extra time put in |

I have pretty much every GT since the beginning so you could say that I have what you want, just not in a very compact way. However, that won't do you guys no good since I don't have any means to transfer it to a computer...

Does Guthrie own the copyright? I would've thought that Future Publishing would own that as Guthrie was producing the work for them. (Either way, it's copyrighted).
I've suggested several times to Guitar Techniques that they make available old columns - perhaps buyable as online downloads in pdf/mp3 format (surely they must have all the back issues and CDs archived digitally?). I would think that sets of lessons like Guthrie's Blues & Rock mutations or Pete Callard's jazz series would sell really well - if you're like me, you've got some of the magazines and some of the CDs but not a full set of either, & would happily pay for a combined set. |

Future own the copyright for one month IIRC then it reverts to the original artist. So as I understand it a cover of an Eric Johnson piece reverts to Eric... a completely cooked up style file belongs to the writer... say Guthrie.

Part of the issue with that is it would only be for the lessons: transcriptions (unless original works) would involve royalties to someone somewhere also some artists( say someone a little like Weasel Papa or his Dad's estate) are loathe to agree to transcriptions unless they know they are ephemeral - so opening the back-catalogue would deter some artists and possibly the most popular which impacts the magazine - I recall a discussion where it became apparent how much hard work chasing these agreements is done by the Future teams - even when an artist agrees their lawyer may not. It sounded like a real chore.
If Future don't release popular transcriptions they're basically releasing lessons they don't have rights to, they belong to the contributors. Some contributors may not agree to the publishing of these works as they compete with their regular works:
Creative Guitar 1, 2 and 3
Hot Country
Acoustic Guitar Bible
Giants of Rock
Fretboard Warrior
50 Guitar Solos
Chords and Scales
10 minute workout
Jason Sidwell's just released a Funk DVD
Justin Sandercoe's books available on his web-site.
Leaving stuff by Pete, Shaun, Dario, Stuart and several others. I'd love these guys to write books as they would be a distillation of the monthly contributions with their own editorial direction - but that's for them to pursue if they think there's profit from it.
It probably sounds like I'm advocating the status-quo, in fact I'm just presenting a digest of the discussions involving Neville Martin, Jason Sidwell and Simon Bradley when desires similar to those posted above have been expressed during my 6 year tenure on the Music Radar forum.

By any chance do you have any backingtrack for waves or only the chords so i could play my own solo over ? Thanks |

| Is there a list anywhere of exactly which issues of GT feature Guthrie? Or is he in most of them? |
