Podcast appearances and mentions of Don Ross

Join David Gorin as he sits down with Don Ross to discuss The Gambling Animal, a compelling exploration of human behaviour and risk-taking. Discover the psychology behind gambling, its societal impacts, and why we're wired to take chances. Tune in for an insightful conversation. More about the book: Evolution is a series of bets, and no animal gambles the way humans do. This has led us to unprecedented ecological dominance, via the steepest odds and unlikeliest of outcomes, but our winning streak cuts both ways: the secret to our success may yet be our downfall. The Gambling Animal offers a revelatory retelling of the human story. Drawing on their unique research into the risk psychology of humans and other animals - including our most impressive rivals, elephants - Don Ross and Glenn Harrison reveal the hidden logic of our rise. Even before the dawn of civilisation, we bet the Earth on our ability to keep doubling down. But with an ecological crisis on the horizon, how long will our winning streak continue?

Host Jeff Douglas is joined by fingerstyle-guitar legend Don Ross and his new touring partner Jule Malischke ahead of their show at The Carleton in Halifax on Sunday. The talk about their newfound partnership and how their show will be a collaborative format.

Is this one of the best or worst method books for acoustic fingerstyle guitar? You can learn to play music by simultaneously using a variety of resources including teachers, online resources, and books. The Alex de Grassi Fingerstyle Guitar Method, written by fingerstyle legend Alex de Grassi and produced by Stringletter (the publisher of Acoustic Guitar Magazine), is a method book for learning to play solo fingerstyle guitar.  You will learn many of the nuts and bolts that bolster de Grassi's technique, musicality, and general style.  This is an amazing book (a 192 page tome of information!), but it is dense and highly technical. If you are thinking about investing your time into this book, consider what sub-style of fingerstyle you are interested in.  Listen to Alex de Grassi's playing to see if that is the direction that you want to go in.  I personally love his playing – he uses a lot of classical technique, he has incredible control and clarity, he is extremely melodic, expressive, and musical, he tastefully uses some modern percussive techniques and cross string ideas, and he plays music that sounds like a blend of folk, Celtic, and blues.  If you want to play like Chet Atkins or Tommy Emmanuel, start with a different book.  If you want to play like Andy McKee, Preston Reed, Don Ross, or Mike Dawes, this book has several very applicable chapters and isn't a bad stepping stone.  This is a great book if you want to be a well-rounded and precise player. De Grassi claims that this book is for beginner through advanced players.  The first half of the book certainly contains a lot of “beginner” fingerstyle information, but I highly discourage beginner players from starting with this book as their first foray into fingerstyle guitar.  There are more approachable books with easier arrangements and less text.  If you are a big Alex de Grassi fan and you're dead set on going through this book as a beginner, it would be helpful to work with a teacher and/or to supplement it with another more beginner-oriented method book (see my other videos/reviews). I think that this book is very beneficial to a late beginner or intermediate player who can already smoothly play some solo fingerstyle arrangements.  This book will tweak your physical techniques, your tone, and your artistic touch (phrasing, articulation, dynamics, etc.).   Overall, the 2nd half of the book is very “heady” with many advanced concepts that beginners don't need to bog themselves down with.  These concepts include difficult cross-string ideas, reasons to use alternate tunings, complex rhythmic ideas (cross-rhythms), modern percussive techniques, and ways to add depth and dimension to your sound. The repertoire in the book consists of traditional tunes and the author's original tunes.  There are several full song arrangements, but most of the examples are song fragments.  De Grassi breaks down these fragments in great detail in order to demonstrate the topic being discussed in the text. There is SO much detail in the descriptions.  He gets into the nuances of how to physically perform a technique, where to place your fingers, how to control note durations, etc.   The text is very dense, and it took me a long, long time to get through it.  I recommend listening to each (wonderful) audio example, then reading the text pertaining to that example, and then playing that example.  You will likely need to repeat this process multiple times for each example or topic. The audio recordings are invaluable for hearing the artistic details, ornamentation, and complex rhythms of the examples.  I don't think I've ever been so tied to the audio recordings of a method book. All playing examples are provided in standard notation (treble clef) and tablature. You could use either a steel string acoustic or nylon string classical guitar to work through this book.  You don't have to fret any bass notes using your thumb over the top (although I like to here...

Sammy Boller on Randy Rhoads: https://youtu.be/Ym-LXU-3nd4Subscribe to PG's Channel: http://bit.ly/SubscribePGYouTube“I grew up wanting to be Eddie Van Halen and Randy Rhoads, but over time I've found my own dark and aggressive style. These days, my dream as a musician is to make people feel as connected to the cosmos as I feel when I play the guitar,” wishes guitarist Sammy Boller.Sammy Boller has been playing guitar most of his life. He played in high school orchestra and even attended University of Michigan's School of Music, Theatre & Dance. In 2012, his life forever changed when he won Guitar Center's “Master Satriani” competition. (Watch his submission for “Satch Boogie” here.)Catapulting off that success, the next year Boller joined Detroit rockers Citizen Zero. The band released their 2016 debut LP, State of Mind, and its lead single “Go (Let Me Save You)” climbed to #17 on Billboard's mainstream rock chart. But even with Citizen Zero's success, Boller wasn't sending listeners into the stratosphere feeling one with the stardust. Then while shopping his instrumental solo work, he quickly earned a fan in CandyRat Records owner Rob Poland who signed Sammy. (CandyRat was started by Poland in 2004 and began working with Don Ross, Andy McKee, Antoine Dufourto. Boller released his debut solo album and an additional standalone single—Kingdom of the Sun and “Path of the Heart”—in 2020 that snake between Sunset shred and post-rock melodies. The next year was celebrated with Boller's stunning third release “Ritual Lights” showing Sammy's first (solo) recorded run in with the wah wah. (Something you'll now see on his pedalboard later.) He's since dropped a pair of singles “Spellbound” and “Midnight Garden” that grow off his enchanting formula and adds in heightened technical abilities and deeper rhythmic grooves. Before his headlining show at Nashville's Bowery Vault, the fretboard maestro shows off a pair of versatile guitars, explains why the chase for his pinnacle amp is over, and details and demos the select stompboxes that send his sound into the asteroid belt.Full Rig Details: https://www.premierguitar.com/videos/rig-rundown/sammy-boller-2024Subscribe to PG's Channel: http://bit.ly/SubscribePGYouTubeWin Guitar Gear: https://bit.ly/GiveawaysPG Don't Miss a Rundown: http://bit.ly/RIgRundownENLMerch & Magazines: https://shop.premierguitar.comPG's Facebook: https://facebook.com/premierguitarPG's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/premierguitar/PG's Twitter: https://twitter.com/premierguitarPG's Threads: https://threads.net/@premierguitarPG's TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@premierguitar[Brought to you by D'Addario: https://ddar.io/wykyk-rr & XPND Pedalboard: https://www.daddario.com/XPNDRR]0:00 - D'Addario Strings with Mark Tremonti0:15 - Perry Bean Intro1:16 - Sammy Boller Playing Intro2:10 - Gibson Les Paul Axcess Custom5:49 - Tunings, Strings & Picks9:03 - Friedman NoHo 24 11:01 - Friedman BE-10015:02 - D'Addario XPND Pedalboard15:51 - Sammy Boller Pedalboard33:31 - D'Addario with Yvette Young© Copyright Gearhead Communications LLC, 2024#guitar #rigrundown #guitarist #guitarplayer #sammyboller

In today's culture, many men don't know what it means to be a man. The journey to Manhood is often fraught with confusion, isolation, and seemingly insurmountable challenges,  Introducing Don Ross, Founder of Manhood Tribes Don Ross emerges as a guiding force, seeking to redefine and revive the essence of authentic masculinity. As the founder of Manhood Tribes, Don is on a mission to address the struggles faced by men today and offer a pathway towards meaningful connections, personal growth, and a rediscovery of the timeless virtues that define true manhood. Manhood Tribes was born out of the recognition that many men grapple with the complexities of modern masculinity, from societal expectations to personal battles with addiction and despair. Don, fueled by a passion for fostering genuine connections among men, established this platform to bring them together in Tribes, acknowledging the innate need for camaraderie and support. The core philosophy of Manhood Tribes revolves around the belief that men are not designed to navigate life in isolation. Instead, they are meant to thrive in groups, or Tribes, which serve as a source of strength, encouragement, and shared experience. The initiative kicks off with a transformative father/son rite of passage experience called First Tribe, with more diverse experiences planned for the future. Regardless of one's stage in life, Manhood Tribes promises to have something to offer. The experience focuses on three key pillars—Manhood, Camaraderie, and Freedom—each designed to facilitate growth in specific areas of a man's life. Under the banner of Manhood, participants gain a clear understanding of healthy masculinity and learn how to evolve as men. Camaraderie is fostered through adventure, challenge, and meaningful discussions, leading to the formation of significant friendships. Freedom, the third pillar, embodies the collective fight for healing and restoration, with a spiritual dimension rooted in the transformative power of Jesus. A cornerstone of Manhood Tribes is the embrace of the "5 Marks of Manhood," which aims to simplify the understanding of what it means to be a man in today's complex world. These five fundamental traits—Strength, Courage, Skill, Honor, and Allegiance—serve as guiding principles for men on their journey towards a fulfilled and purposeful life. As we embark on an insightful conversation with Don Ross on the Manlihood ManCast, we delve deeper into the vision, values, and transformative experiences that define Manhood Tribes, inspiring men to navigate the challenges of life with resilience, authenticity, and a renewed sense of purpose.

Is this one of the best or worst method books for fingerstyle guitar? You can learn to play music by simultaneously using a variety of resources including teachers, online resources, and books. Dan Thorpe's Fingerstyle 101 is a method book for learning to play fingerstyle (or “fingerpicking”) guitar.  The book is appropriate for absolute beginner fingerstyle players who have some experience with open chords.  Intermediate and advanced players will fly through this book and may find a few useful ideas but probably won't find any revelatory information or inspiring performance pieces.  The author has written this book with older adult students in mind, although any beginning students would certainly benefit from working through it.  The book contains lots of practical advice on fingerpicking technique, playing posture, and strategies for practicing and memorization.  It has sections including “Pro Tips to Make Your Fingerpicking Journey Easier and More Enjoyable,” “The 7 Most Deadly Fingerpicking Mistakes,” and “The 10 Steps for Getting the Most Out of Your Fingerpicking Playing.”  There is one section of the book (less than half the book) with actual playing examples, and these examples are great first fingerpicking patterns to learn along with some practical applications. There is lots of text in the book.  Fortunately, this text is informative without being bland.  Lots of lists, summaries, pictures, etc.  The text has a large font size so it is easy on the eyes.  Thorpe provides advice for avoiding guitar-related injuries – i.e. information about how to hold the guitar in the classical style to help older students avoid back pain.  There is some psychology about how to learn efficiently/effectively and how to make and set goals.  There is a chord reference guide as well as sections on understanding basic rhythms and reading tablature (TAB). The playing section in the middle of the book progresses at a reasonable pace for a beginner fingerstyle student.  Thorpe teaches ten fingerpicking patterns, and for each pattern there are three examples.  The first example is as basic as possible over a single chord shape.  The second example has you play the pattern over a simple chord progression (always C G D).  Since you always utilize the same C G D chord progression, you will be able to focus your brain power on your picking hand and the new pattern.  This is also very practical because if you want to fingerpick the guitar while singing, it is useful to try out a pattern over simple chord progressions that you might find in folk or pop songs.  Finally, the third example introduces a more complex chord progression, stylistic elements such as hammer-ons and pull-offs, and sometimes a (very simple) moving melody or bass line.  These third examples are not long enough to be performance pieces, but they may inspire you to add some flair to your accompaniment fingerpicking or to write your own compositions. The book doesn't progress far enough to establish a specific style within the umbrella of fingerstyle guitar.  You learn a few classical arpeggiation patterns, a few Travis picking patterns, and a few patterns that have some folk or blues flair.  The book doesn't get into the modern percussive techniques used by modern players like Michael Hedges, Don Ross, Andy McKee, Mike Dawes, etc.  No thumb slaps, guitar body percussion, or tapping. All playing examples are provided in standard notation (treble clef) and tablature.  Audio recordings are available for all playing examples. You could use either a steel string or nylon string classical guitar to work through this book. Published by Rockstar Publishing  © 2015, 2020.  Distributed by Hal Leonard.

Don Ross is the founder of "Manhood Tribes," a ministry focused on creating groups of men who follow Jesus at every stage of life. Don started Manhood Tribes—to help men in challenging times because he believes men aren't meant to go through life disconnected from other men. He also believes that men are built to live in groups, or Tribes, but we've lost many of our reasons for doing so. Manhood Tribes is creating ways for men to reconnect with each other, starting with a father/son rite of passage experience called First Tribe. There will be more opportunities in the future, so be sure to listen in and connect with Don at Manhood Tribes today!

Is this one of the best or worst method books for fingerstyle guitar? You can learn to play music using a variety of resources including teachers, online resources, and books. Richard S. Saslow's The New Art of Ragtime Guitar is a fun, well-graduated repertoire + analysis book for learning to play the fingerpicking guitar style known as ragtime guitar.  It is aimed at intermediate and advanced fingerstyle players, although late beginners can certainly take a stab at the first couple tunes.  The book teaches ragtime guitar through studies of 8 tunes of increasing difficulty.  Each tune is broken down into sections with around 6 measures of the music (treble clef and tablature) on one page and a detailed analysis on the facing page.  Full condensed tunes are in the back of the book. Out of the author's eight original tunes, seven are standard sounding ragtime tunes and one is a blues.  Among the ragtime tunes, there is a bit of variation in feel from upbeat and happy to bluesy and minor to jazzy.  There are also several key signatures and some unique harmonizations.  All of the ragtime tunes utilize an alternating bass line as well as some short segments of walking bass line.  The blues tune mainly uses a monotonic bass typical of the Texas blues fingerpicking style. This is not a method book for learning the basics of fingerstyle guitar in a logical progression from your first notes through to mastery (check out Alfred's Beginning Fingerstyle, Hal Leonard's Fingerstyle Guitar, or Mel Bay's Complete Chet Atkins Guitar Method).  However, there are about 20 pages of introductory text discussing equipment, notation, the ragtime style, and technique.  There is definitely some useful information in this section, especially for novice players.  However, I wouldn't get too caught up reading this entire section all at once – I would recommend jumping into the tunes which often refer you back to the technique sections of the introduction.  Read the detailed stuff then! Where the book really excels is in its presentation of the music and its corresponding analysis.  As I mentioned before, for each ragtime tune you will see ~6 measures of music on one page and the detailed analysis on the facing page.  This analysis features detailed directions, techniques, and other tips for the 6 measures at hand.  I usually play through the music once, and then go through the analysis carefully, marking fingerings, anchor fingers, guide fingers, etc. into the music as well as into the condensed version of the tune in the back of the book.  The analysis really does give you insights into how to properly play these tunes (and future tunes from any source) smoothly and musically. Authentic sounding fingerstyle ragtime tunes. Good difficulty graduation. You will spend much more time playing music than analyzing music theory.  Online recordings of each tune are available. The book doesn't get into the modern percussive techniques used by modern players like Michael Hedges, Don Ross, Andy McKee, Mike Dawes, etc.  No thumb slaps, guitar body percussion, or tapping. I recommend using an acoustic steel string guitar rather than a classical guitar since there are multiple tunes that utilize the fretting hand thumb over the top.

Is this one of the best or worst method books for fingerstyle blues guitar? You can learn to play music using a variety of resources including teachers, online resources, and books. Miggs Rivera's Fingerstyle Blues is an inspiring, well-graduated method book for learning to play fingerstyle blues.  It is aimed at intermediate and advanced fingerstyle players.  Each chapter ultimately provides a full performance tune, but starts by describing a new concept or technique (or two) and providing examples that prepare you for the performance song.  As advertised, this book is focused entirely on fingerstyle blues with deep dives into various substyles including delta blues (Robert Johnson), boogies (John Lee Hooker), slide blues (Son House), and Texas blues (Lightning Hopkins).  There is even a tune that has a modern character with some jazzier chords. I love how in each chapter the book provides technical exercises that directly prepare you for the upcoming performance tune.  Often the author will simplify a section of the performance tune and then provide more complexity with each subsequent example.  The first chapter of the book presents a somewhat basic 12-bar blues, then provides 5 separate 12-bar variations that each focus on adding a new technique (hammer-on grace notes, slide grace notes, rubato bends, chords fragments, rubato bends on the higher and lower strings), and finally culminates in an all-inclusive performance tune.  Mr. Rivera really hit the nail on the head with his teaching approach. The author provides some music theory, but only that which is immediately applicable to an upcoming performance tune.  You will spend much more time playing music than analyzing music theory.  The book includes access to private/un-searchable YouTube video lessons through QR codes.  You will need a cell phone that can pull these up.  These videos are extremely helpful as they include explanations and demonstrations by the author.  These are particularly useful as they show you the proper rhythms and feel. One thing to note about this book is that it doesn't emphasize improvisation which is a huge part of blues music.  However, you could learn about improvisation elsewhere (with a private teacher or with a book like Joseph Alexander's Fingerstyle Blues Guitar) and then implement it into the tunes of this book. Authentic sounding fingerstyle blues tunes. Excellent difficulty graduation – examples build off each other and get gradually more complex and difficult.  Cohesive feel throughout the book, especially as the final performance tune pulls from the earlier tunes. Not much emphasis on improvisation. Online video lessons are extremely helpful – difficult rhythms and feel are much easier to learn with the videos. The book does introduce some modern percussive techniques used by modern players like Michael Hedges, Don Ross, Andy McKee, Mike Dawes, etc.  You will learn to play thumb slaps and various percussive hits on the guitar body. I would recommend that you use an acoustic steel string or electric guitar.  You could use a nylon string classical guitar if absolutely necessary, but I wouldn't recommend it.

You can learn to play music using a variety of resources including teachers, online resources, and books. Hal Leonard's 100 Most Popular Songs for Fingerpicking Guitar is a repertoire book filled with solo fingerstyle guitar arrangements of popular songs from mostly the 1960s through present day.  Genres covered include classic and modern rock, pop, folk, jazz, theme songs, Spanish classical, and more.  There are songs from the Beatles, Ed Sheeran, Duke Ellington, Metallica, Aerosmith, Imagine Dragons, Bob Marley, Stevie Wonder, etc.  Most of the tunes are suitable for intermediate fingerstyle players, although there are some easier tunes for late beginners as well as some tunes that are significantly more difficult.  If you are looking to build out your repertoire for local gigs, this book is incredible!  Overall, the arrangements are in guitar-friendly keys, they stay below the 5th fret, and they sound good.  You can always simplify or add to the arrangements to suit your tastes and skill level.  Most tunes are in standard tuning, although there are some tunes that use drop D tuning.  Tunes are arranged utilizing a variety of techniques including simple melody and bass, alternating bass, and arpeggiation. The book doesn't get into the modern percussive techniques used by modern players like Michael Hedges, Don Ross, Andy McKee, Mike Dawes, etc.  No thumb slaps, guitar body percussion, or tapping. Although this book is a repertoire book and not a method book, there is a single page in the back providing an “Introduction to Fingerstyle,” which is probably worthless to anyone who is attempting to play the tunes in this book.  The rest of the book is just filled with song arrangements in alphabetical order, and there is no background information for any of the tunes.  The music is presented as a treble clef lead sheet with the main melody and the harmonizing chords written above, and the solo guitar arrangements are presented in treble clef and tablature.  Occasional left-hand fingerings are provided. Although this book has great tunes for your gigs, it would be difficult to bring the book to a gig and play from the pages.  The book is 430 pages and has a softcover binding, so you need binder clips to hold the pages open.  Most tunes require multiple page turns, which is a disaster if you are holding the pages open with binder clips.  Your only options would be to photocopy pages or memorize the tunes. For most of the tunes you could use an acoustic steel string or classical nylon string guitar since most arrangements don't require using your fretting hand thumb over the top. Extensive song selection.  You are bound to like at least a few of the tunes if you like popular or rock music. Great arrangements that generally feature melody and bass, alternating bass, and/or arpeggiation. Provides treble clef lead sheets (melody with harmonizing chords written above) as well as treble clef and TAB guitar arrangements. Some fretting hand fingering is included, but there isn't any picking hand fingering. Hard to hold pages open, lots of page turns. No audio access.  However, arrangements generally sound similar to the original tunes.

You can learn to play music using a variety of resources including teachers, online resources, and books. Stefan Grossman's Complete Country Blues Guitar Book is a repertoire book of various substyles of fingerstyle blues (general old time country blues, Delta blues, ragtime blues, Texas blues, and bottleneck blues).  Most of the tunes are suitable for late-beginner and intermediate fingerstyle players, although advanced players will certainly enjoy the tunes as well.  The music in this book may sound “old-timey” (much of it comes from the 1920s and 30s), but it is really fun to play if you are interested in the style.  Aside from the large selection of tunes, the book provides tons of cool history, interviews of blues players (Skip James and W.C. Handy), and historical photos – makes for a great coffee table book! The book is organized into sections for each substyle of fingerstyle blues.  At the beginning of each section there is a textual description and history of the blues substyle being presented.  Before each tune, there is a description of where that tune originated from, who played it in this style, important recordings to listen to, and some technical performance details. Most of the tunes provide you with a single progression of the tune – sometimes only 20 or 30 seconds long.  In a real performance you would probably want to repeat the form multiple times with singing, variations, or improvisation.  My only complaint about the book is that it would have been helpful if the author had explained this a bit more.  However, if you take the listening recommendations seriously then you will get the idea. The book provides both treble clef and tablature.  There are no right or left-hand fingerings provided (except occasionally in the description before the tune).  The tablature is unusual in that the fret numbers are written between the lines instead of on the lines, but I quickly adjusted to it without any problem. The majority of the tunes use standard tuning.  However, alternate tunings are used extensively within the sections on “Country Blues Guitar: The Alternating Bass and Open Tunings” and “Bottleneck Blues Guitar.” This is a repertoire book full of song arrangements.  This is not a method book that teaches you the fundamentals of how to play fingerstyle blues guitar.  However, if you have some fingerstyle experience, then this book will provide you with a lifetime of fun (at almost 260 pages, it will literally last you a very long time). Authentic fingerstyle blues tunes from various substyles. Great organization. Good difficulty graduation – easier tunes to start each section. Short tunes. Lots of alternating bass and monotonic bass Strange tablature will take a few minutes to adjust to. No fingerings for right or left hand. No audio access, but there are lots of listening recommendations that are helpful. The book doesn't get into the modern percussive techniques used by modern players like Michael Hedges, Don Ross, Andy McKee, Mike Dawes, etc.  No thumb slaps, guitar body percussion, or tapping. I recommend using an acoustic steel string guitar rather than a classical guitar since there are multiple tunes that utilize the fretting hand thumb over the top.  You will need a slide for the final section, but you can use it with your normal guitar.

You can learn to play music using a variety of resources including teachers, online resources, and books. Joseph Alexander's Fingerstyle Blues Guitar (published by Fundamental Changes) is an excellent book for learning the fundamentals of fingerstyle blues guitar with either a monotonic or alternating bass.  While this book does have some beginner friendly material, it will especially resonate with intermediate or advanced players.  It is also great for non-fingerstyle blues, rock, or jazz guitarists looking to cross over into fingerstyle blues.  The first half of the book is focused on improvising lead melodies over a monotonic bass (mostly E minor pentatonic over an open 6th string), and the second half of the book is focused on blues chord progressions and picking patterns, soloing over blues progressions, turnarounds, bass lines, and two short studies. This book presents lots of licks to teach you how to play over a monotonic bass line.  If you haven't ever improvised using pentatonic scales, then you may find yourself just learning and memorizing cool blues licks.  If you really want to get the most out of this book, then you need to spend time incorporating the phrases into blues progressions and improvising your own blues phrases over blues progressions.  I suggest mastering each example with the monotonic bass (open 6th string) and then playing it over a 12-bar blues progression.  For each technique presented in the book, I suggest coming up with your own phrases using that technique – if the book presents examples using slides, then improvise using slides.  Then improvise using slides over an entire 12-bar blues progression.  A great practical goal would be to play actual blues tunes with some improv in the middle. The second half of the book provides a bunch of accompaniment patterns over the I, IV, and V chords, and it provides some melodies on top of the chords.  There is a section on turnarounds, a short section on bass lines, and a final section with two short “studies.”  By the time you get through all of this you should have a decent idea of how to play a generic or improvised fingerstyle blues with a variety of feels in the keys of E and G.  Aside from the studies, there aren't any actual tunes in this book, but you'll have the tools to learn them from other sources. Authentic fingerstyle blues lines and grooves Good difficulty graduation – examples build off each other and get gradually more complex and difficult.  Cohesive feel especially to the first half of the book. No actual fingerstyle blues tunes to learn other than two short studies. Online audio access is really helpful – difficult rhythms and feel are much easier to learn with the audio tracks. No fingerings for right or left hand for much of the book.  Chapter 1 and Chapter 7 do have some picking hand fingering. Some examples are difficult to play on an acoustic guitar because of whole step bends.  You can always substitute slides for these big bends. The book doesn't get into the modern percussive techniques used by modern players like Michael Hedges, Don Ross, Andy McKee, Mike Dawes, etc.  No thumb slaps, guitar body percussion, or tapping. For most of the tunes you could use an acoustic steel string or electric guitar.  You could use a nylon string classical guitar if necessary, but I wouldn't recommend it.

You can learn to play music using a variety of resources including teachers, online resources, and books. Hal Leonard's Fingerpicking Beatles is full of accessible arrangements of popular Beatles songs.  The tunes are suitable for late beginner/early intermediate through advanced players.  The arrangements often have simplified rhythms, they sometimes leave out either bass notes or inner harmony notes where they would be difficult to grab, they stay mostly below the 5th fret, and they are in guitar friendly keys.  I think this is a fun book that is well worth the money. The simplicity of many of the arrangements is something that I prefer for a repertoire book like this.  Hal Leonard has done the work of putting the tunes into guitar-friendly keys and providing basic arrangements that are entirely recognizable and effective.  Aside from the melody, the arrangements often include important bass lines, horn lines, and harmonies.  For experienced players, the tunes present many opportunities for embellishment. Some tunes are arranged in more of a melody and bass style, some feature more arpeggiation, and some feature alternating bass lines.  The style typically fits the essence of the tune. 1) Excellent repertoire from across the Beatles discography.  Variety of upbeat and slower tunes (and everything in-between). 2) Provides treble clef lead sheets (melody with harmonizing chords written above) as well as treble clef and TAB guitar arrangements. 3) Generally simplified arrangements as I detailed above. 4) Some fretting hand fingering is included, but there isn't any picking hand fingering. 5) Longer tunes have lots of page turns at sometimes inconvenient places. 6) No audio access. The book doesn't get into the modern percussive techniques used by modern players like Michael Hedges, Don Ross, Andy McKee, Mike Dawes, etc.  No thumb slaps, guitar body percussion, or tapping. For most of the tunes you could use an acoustic steel string or classical nylon string guitar since most arrangements don't require using your fretting hand thumb over the top.

She is an evolutionary anthropologist interested in how humans respond adaptively to culturally structured social worlds. Two main foci of her research are: intergroup interactions and social cognition; and cross-cultural variation in social effects on reproduction. In this episode, we talk about ethnic categories, and social effects on reproduction. We start by defining ethnic categories, and we talk about their evolutionary bases; the fact that there is no correlation between “race” and culture; stereotyping, essentialism, and ethnocentrism; how people think about ethnic groups; child development; and gene-culture coevolution in ethnic psychology. We then get into social effects on reproduction, with a focus on the impact of family members. We discuss reproduction in industrialized societies; religiosity; and female-dispersing groups, and age at menopause.

She studies the evolution of human ultra-sociality and the role of culture in enabling it. She is especially interested in how humans evolved the capacity to cooperate with millions of genetically unrelated individuals, and how this links to the origins of moral sentiments, prosocial behavior, norms, and large-scale warfare. In this episode, we talk about the evolution of human sociality. We start by talking about how human sociality differs from the sociality of other closely-related species, and what enables it. We get into perception errors, what they are, and how they impact reciprocity. We discuss how humans cooperate with an immense number of genetically unrelated individuals. We talk about what leads to warfare, and the phenomenon of moral injury and how it relates to PTSD. Finally, we talk about the role of culture in facilitating small-scale cooperation. -- A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: KARIN LIETZCKE, ANN BLANCHETTE, PER HELGE LARSEN, LAU GUERREIRO, JERRY MULLER, HANS FREDRIK SUNDE, BERNARDO SEIXAS, HERBERT GINTIS, RUTGER VOS, RICARDO VLADIMIRO, CRAIG HEALY, OLAF ALEX, PHILIP KURIAN, JONATHAN VISSER, JAKOB KLINKBY, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, JOHN CONNORS, PAULINA BARREN, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, DAN DEMETRIOU, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ARTHUR KOH, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, SUSAN PINKER, PABLO SANTURBANO, SIMON COLUMBUS, PHIL KAVANAGH, JORGE ESPINHA, CORY CLARK, MARK BLYTH, ROBERTO INGUANZO, MIKKEL STORMYR, ERIC NEURMANN, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, BERNARD HUGUENEY, ALEXANDER DANNBAUER, FERGAL CUSSEN, YEVHEN BODRENKO, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, DON ROSS, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, OZLEM BULUT, NATHAN NGUYEN, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, J.W., JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, IDAN SOLON, ROMAIN ROCH, DMITRY GRIGORYEV, TOM ROTH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, ADANER USMANI, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, AL ORTIZ, NELLEKE BAK, KATHRINE AND PATRICK TOBIN, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, NICK GOLDEN, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, EDWARD HALL, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS P.

We talk about the functions of rituals, and how they relate to meaning. We discuss the hypothesis that rituals drove the evolution of civilization. We talk about the individual and social benefits of rituals, and causal opacity as a feature of rituals. We discuss modes of religiosity theory, and get into fire-walking rituals, and the psychological effects of costly rituals. We also talk about the relationship between ritual and sexual selection, and the role that drugs play in some rituals.

We discuss what truth is, and the postmodernist challenge. We talk about the conflict between religion and science, and go through ideologies like liberalism, socialism, and fascism. We also discuss the ideological conflict between the “West” and the “Rest”, the biggest debates in contemporary liberal democracies, and the “culture wars”. We talk about intellectuals as the source of most ideologies.

The Huron Carol may not be especially well-known by Americans, but in Canada, this song is a national treasure! It has been performed by some of Canada's biggest recording artists, from Sarah McLachlan to Toronto Children's Chorus. For decades now, Indigenous actor and singer, Tom Jackson, has performed a Christmas benefit concert in the carol's name.   But, beloved as this carol may be, it also comes with painful historical baggage. It was written by St. Jean de Brebeuf, a Jesuit missionary and martyr who lived with the Wendat people and immersed himself in their language, culture and spirituality. It is out of this experience that Canada's Christmas carol was born. Since the mid 17th century, when Brebeuf first penned the song in Wendat, the Huron Carol has been translated and reinterpreted several times over. “Twas in the Moon of Wintertime,” is the most popular version of the carol today, but its English lyrics bears little resemblance to the original and distorts Wendat culture. To help us unpack this Christmas carol, with a history complicated by centuries of colonialism, we speak with three Canadians: Geneviève Salamone, an Indigenous violinist and activist; John Steckley, one of the foremost scholars of the Wendat language; and the Rev. Michael Knox, S.J., the director of Martyr's Shrine in Midland, Ontario. Special thanks to Geneviève Salamone for recording The Huron Carol especially for this show, and to Aidan Baker and Broken Spine Productions, Cynthia Boener, Lief Sjostrom, Don Ross, Debra Buesking, Keith Michael Roman, Brian Thiessen and Dana Lynn Seaborn, and Heather Dale for providing much of the music on this episode.

In this episode, focus on Influence. We talk a bit about the psychology of compliance, and go through the seven principles of persuasion: reciprocation, liking, social proof, authority, scarcity, commitment and consistency, and unity. We talk about how Dr. Cialdini got at these principles. We discuss if there could be more principles, if they apply in any social context, if any of them is more important than the others, and what their goals are. Finally, we talk about how to learn and apply the principles, and how we can protect ourselves from manipulation and deception. -- A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: KARIN LIETZCKE, ANN BLANCHETTE, PER HELGE LARSEN, LAU GUERREIRO, JERRY MULLER, HANS FREDRIK SUNDE, BERNARDO SEIXAS, HERBERT GINTIS, RUTGER VOS, RICARDO VLADIMIRO, CRAIG HEALY, OLAF ALEX, PHILIP KURIAN, JONATHAN VISSER, JAKOB KLINKBY, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, JOHN CONNORS, PAULINA BARREN, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, DAN DEMETRIOU, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ARTHUR KOH, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, SUSAN PINKER, PABLO SANTURBANO, SIMON COLUMBUS, PHIL KAVANAGH, JORGE ESPINHA, CORY CLARK, MARK BLYTH, ROBERTO INGUANZO, MIKKEL STORMYR, ERIC NEURMANN, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, BERNARD HUGUENEY, ALEXANDER DANNBAUER, FERGAL CUSSEN, YEVHEN BODRENKO, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, DON ROSS, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, OZLEM BULUT, NATHAN NGUYEN, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, J.W., JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, IDAN SOLON, ROMAIN ROCH, DMITRY GRIGORYEV, TOM ROTH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, ADANER USMANI, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, AL ORTIZ, NELLEKE BAK, KATHRINE AND PATRICK TOBIN, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, NICK GOLDEN, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, EDWARD HALL, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS P.

We start by discussing the difference between sex and gender, and where assumptions regarding the female sex come from. We talk about behavioral sex differences, and how sex is defined. We go through sexual selection, and what females gain by mating with multiple partners. We talk about how the study of female genitalia has been neglected. We discuss if the female orgasm is an adaptation, and if there really is such a thing as a “maternal instinct”. We talk about mother-offspring conflict, and female intrasexual competition. We discuss primate societies, and phylogenetic comparisons. We talk about menopause and grandmothers. We discuss asexual reproduction, and if the Y chromosome is disappearing. Finally, we talk about the origins of gender inequality, and what needs to be revised in the field of evolutionary biology. -- A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: KARIN LIETZCKE, ANN BLANCHETTE, PER HELGE LARSEN, LAU GUERREIRO, JERRY MULLER, HANS FREDRIK SUNDE, BERNARDO SEIXAS, HERBERT GINTIS, RUTGER VOS, RICARDO VLADIMIRO, CRAIG HEALY, OLAF ALEX, PHILIP KURIAN, JONATHAN VISSER, JAKOB KLINKBY, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, JOHN CONNORS, PAULINA BARREN, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, DAN DEMETRIOU, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ARTHUR KOH, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, SUSAN PINKER, PABLO SANTURBANO, SIMON COLUMBUS, PHIL KAVANAGH, JORGE ESPINHA, CORY CLARK, MARK BLYTH, ROBERTO INGUANZO, MIKKEL STORMYR, ERIC NEURMANN, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, BERNARD HUGUENEY, ALEXANDER DANNBAUER, FERGAL CUSSEN, YEVHEN BODRENKO, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, DON ROSS, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, OZLEM BULUT, NATHAN NGUYEN, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, J.W., JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, IDAN SOLON, ROMAIN ROCH, DMITRY GRIGORYEV, TOM ROTH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, ADANER USMANI, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, AL ORTIZ, NELLEKE BAK, KATHRINE AND PATRICK TOBIN, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, NICK GOLDEN, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, EDWARD HALL, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS P.
