George Barnes, "Country Jazz" transcriptions

PICK O' THE MONTH
GEORGE BARNES, complete transcription "CHICKEN IN THE ROUGH."
This is Barnes's jazz version of the fiddle tune Chicken Reel, a traditional piece heard in many cartoons and movies, Foghorn Leghorn, etc.
It's three minutes of Barnes soloing, from his rare-as-hen's-teeth "COUNTRY JAZZ" album. It's pretty much a guitar lesson in every bar. D.C picker Jim Stephanson told me that Danny Gatton learned every lick on this record years ago.
I sell this transcription for $15.00. Email me for info, karlstraub@hotmail.com.

Karl Straub teaches guitar privately in Arlington, Virginia. For information about lessons, go to guitarteacherkarlstraub.blogspot.com
You can email Karl for additional information at karlstraub@hotmail.com. For those who live elsewhere, Karl can also do "virtual lessons", where he answers questions and provides transcriptions and guitar exercises tailored to the individual player.
If there's a guitar lick, solo, fill, chord, etc. that you can't figure out, email Karl and he can help. It's now possible for Karl to record a video of himself playing and explaining musical examples. These can be sent to the student in email, and even put on an Ipod/Iphone. If you are interested in doing a lesson this way, please email Karl with an explanation of what music you want to work on, and he can give you a cost estimate.

ALL CONTENTS COPYRIGHT KARL STRAUB, 2008.
I encourage people to print out the musical notation examples as a single copy for personal use. Other use is forbidden without written permission of Karl Straub. Feel free to link to my material.
HOW TO USE THESE LESSONS
Transcribing has its limitations, and even to get an incomplete representation of what someone played can take tons of time. I've noticed that when I make transcriptions for my students, they often ignore a lot of the articulation suggestions I put in, because they are struggling just to read the notes. For these reasons, I've decided to streamline my transcriptions, leaving out some of the fussier and more obsessive details. In spite of this, I still feel they are among the more accurate ones you'll find on the net. Please feel free to email me (karlstraub@hotmail.com) or post comments about any mistakes you find, along with questions or suggestions.
I suggest you use the transcriptions as a rough guide to the recordings, and do plenty of listening to the originals. Sometimes I'll record my versions, usually I suggest you listen to the originals.
USING THE LESSON MATERIAL
in some cases, I offer specific suggestions about how to use the material in a lesson. In the absence of anything specific to a particular lesson, here are my general recommendations.
1. If it's at all possible, work through an entire lesson. When your schedule makes it impossible for you to do this, there's a lot of value in taking small pieces (even just a couple bars) and practicing them repetitively. I recommend practicing things in sets of ten. This means picking out some amount of material that you can play correctly ten times in a row. In some cases, you'll get a technique exercise. In others, you may hear an idea that you can use to expand your vocabulary.
2. If reading is frustrating for you, even tablature-- keep these ideas in mind. Even a good reader is going to fumble reading some parts; reading is just plain hard sometimes. Try to use your reading skills in conjunction with listening-- reading becomes more fun when you can look at notation and hear it in your head. When necessary, use the notation more as a doublecheck reference than your primary source. Just make sure that you doublecheck to make sure you're playing something as written. No doubt most of what I've come up with can be improved upon, but the key is to clarify your musical thought by forcing yourself to play what is written. When you can do that, feel free to embellish what I have here.
It's fun playing what another great guitarist played-- but it's only an interim step.
