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. 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.

GDP Script/ Top Stories for Sunday May 14th Publish Date: May 12th Friday From the Henssler Financial Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast Today is Sunday May 14th , and happy 40th birthday to longtime NFL rusher Frank Gore ***Gore highlight**** I'm Bruce Jenkins and here are your top stories presented by Mall of Georgia Chrysler Dodge Jeep Gwinnett Technical College sees record number of graduates during spring commencement House Majority Leader Chuck Efstration says work ongoing to get antisemitism, other key bills passed And Explore Gwinnett highlights the hospitality industry during National Travel and Tourism Week We'll have all this and more on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast. Commercial MOG Story 1. GTC Gwinnett Technical College held a record-breaking graduation ceremony, awarding over 600 degrees, diplomas, and certificates to its Class of 2023. Despite facing numerous challenges, including financial hardships and familial responsibilities, the graduates demonstrated resilience and perseverance. Keynote Speaker Bob Mackey, president and CEO of the Boys and Girls Club of North Central Georgia, encouraged graduates to take the necessary steps to achieve their personalized success, regardless of the size of each step. While some graduates will immediately enter the workforce, Gwinnett Tech also highlighted its transfer agreements with other higher learning institutions across Georgia, allowing students to pursue further education. Gwinnett Tech offers 21 programs with industry-specific accreditations and boasts accreditation from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges. STORY 2: Bills Leaders in the Georgia House of Representatives are working to get the state Senate to pass significant bills, which include antisemitism, tenant rights legislation, and mental health reform, during the legislative off-season. Despite these bills having stalled in the Senate earlier this year, they are still technically alive until the end of the 2024 legislative session. The antisemitism legislation, in particular, builds on hate crimes legislation passed a few years ago and will give prosecutors the means to determine whether there was discriminatory antisemitic intent in a crime. The Safe at Home Act would address landlords who rent out uninhabitable properties, while mental health reform efforts will continue next year. Story 3: Explore Explore Gwinnett officials say that tourism has a significant impact on Gwinnett County's economy. There are over 100 hotels in the county and more than 10,000 jobs in the hospitality industry. Travel and tourism generate over $83 million in state and local tax revenues, and tourists collectively spend nearly $1 billion during their visits. Gwinnett County officials are highlighting the attractions they have to draw visitors, including sports teams, craft breweries, restaurants, and landmarks. The revenue generated by tourism also helps reduce tax obligations for local residents. This week, Gwinnett County is recognizing National Travel and Tourism Week. Commercial Peggy Slappey Commercial Tom Wages - then Obits STORY 4:Williams Former CEO of the Gwinnett County Convention and Visitors Bureau, Preston Williams, received an unexpected birthday present in the form of a new park bearing his name. The Preston C. Williams Gateway Park features an elevated boardwalk and wetlands connecting the Gas South Convention Center and Theatre to Sugarloaf Parkway and Satellite Boulevard. Williams was recognized for his 26 years of service to the CVB, during which he oversaw the recently completed expansion of the Gas South District, which included doubling the convention space and installing a new outdoor gathering lawn. The expansion also included a refurbishment of the existing ballroom and Gas South Theatre. Story 5: Titles Gwinnett County won three state titles in the Class AAA State Track and Field Championships at Hugh Mills Stadium. Hebron Christian's Kayla Lane won the discus event with a throw of 123 feet, 1 inch, while Owen Anderson won the boys pole vault with a height of 15-1, setting a school record. Wesleyan's girls won the 3,200-meter relay, and their boys team got a runner-up finish from Jamie Tremble in the triple jump event. The championship team featured Julie Anne Bush, Abigail Glover, Kyra Brubaker, and Anne McSweeney.…..more sports in a moment Commercial: Lawrenceville -Ingles 4 Story 6: More winners Gwinnett athletes won five state titles on Thursday at the Class AAAAAAA State Track and Field Championships held at McEachern. Dacula jumper Danah Nembhard won two state titles in the high jump at 5-6 and in the triple jump at 40-9, which is a top-25 U.S. mark.

Pastors are called to preach. Preachers are called to do so in season and out of season...with all patience. There is an unspoken reality recognized by every pastor/preacher - the looming outrage over the sharp-cutting words of scripture; especially when it comes to sexual immorality, homosexuality and transgenderism. There has been a sermon of Mike Todd (Pastor at Transformation Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma) making its rounds in the internet. We take a listen to some key moments from the sermon to analyze it. We're joined by our co-laborer and brother, Joseph Alexander. We honestly believe that this topic wasn't handled as faithfully as it ought to have been. However, we pray that Transformation Church's pastor is convicted by the Lord to lead his people toward what is true and holy and to do so faithfully. For those who genuinely have questions about God, sex and our bodies, there is good news to be shared in the gospel of Jesus Christ.

The Navy and Marine Corps attacked the Tarawa atoll on November 20th, 1943. It was their first objective in the drive across the Central Pacific. The island was defended by 2,600 Japanese troops and about 2,200 Japanese and Korean laborers. They had spent nine months fortifying the atoll. Most of the action took place on Betio. Betio is the largest island in the atoll but it is only covered six tenths of a square mile big. In 76 hours it took to seize Betio, 1,009 Sailors and Marines died, along with virtually the entire Japanese garrison. It was a battle of utmost savagery and the reason Joseph Alexander used it for the title of this book.

Today we’re speaking with Joseph Alexander, the man behind Fundamental Changes, the leading publisher of guitar books on Amazon with over 100 titles in their catalogue and over 150,000 copies sold last year. Joseph's own backstory is a really interesting one and reveals some great insights about learning effectively in the modern era, whether self-taught or with a teacher. Fundamental Changes has been leveraging the dramatically changing landscape in the world of book publishing to provide exciting new opportunities for students - and potential authors! In this conversation we talk about: • The three factors that helped Joseph go from struggling in learning music to really enjoying and improving consistently. • The specific advantages a modern indie publisher has over traditional book publishers and how that helps authors and students alike. • What their publishing process looks like when they work with a musician or music educator who has something interesting to say - and how different that is from the status quo in the publishing industry. If you’ve ever wondered how a music book comes to be, or whether learning from a print book or ebook can really match up against in-person lessons or YouTube videos - you won’t want to miss this one. Fundamental Changes are currently seeking new authors - if you're a musician or music educator with something interesting to share, be sure to get in touch via the contact form on the Fundamental Changes website!

Joseph Alexander is a nurse and park ranger in Minnesota. He's always been interested in health, and has always loved the outdoors.Knowing just those facts about Joseph, if you were to close your eyes and picture him in your imagination, you probably wouldn't see him as a 438-pound diabetic who had started – and given up on – just about every diet and weight loss strategy known to man.I met Joseph online through the super-secret Missing Chins Run Club (oops ;), and in person at the 2018 Plantstock event, where he wowed the crowd with a moving presentation of his struggle and transformation.Joseph now runs marathons, coaches people to reverse disease and drop weight through a whole food, plant-based diet, and generally loves life.We go deep in this conversation, as Joseph shares his darkest moments, his most profound realizations, and his hands-on tactical, strategic, and philosophical approach to lifestyle change.The audio quality is dodgy for the first 10 minutes, but improves considerably once I figure out gain levels and Joseph tames his rustling microphone

This week’s guest is Joseph Alexander who lives in Rochester, Minnesota. Joseph told me that he was super skinny as a kid and started putting on weight as a teenager. At his highest, Joseph weighted as much as 394lbs and told me that he would often times find himself swimming in the Chinese buffet. He struggled with his weight for decades and eventually was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. He recently decided to put himself first and that health was the most important thing in his life. He has since lost 152lbs, off his medications, and is feeling better than ever. Thanks for tuning in and I hope that you enjoy our conversation.
FOUNDATIONAL FRAMEWORK. PART 39Foundational Truths: The Bible is God’s self-revelation.God is the Eternal, Sovereign Creator; all that He creates is good.Man is a responsible agent, held to a moral standard.Sin originates within a person, separating us from God.God declares one righteous by faith alone, apart from works.The glory of God is the centerpiece and goal of all existence.God’s glory is maximally realized in the promised, coming Kingdom.When we speak of kings and kingdoms, we are always speaking of eternal matters. The descriptions that we have in Scripture with relation to Satan and heavenly beings always speak of thrones, rulership, earthly leaders, and/or crowns in some capacity (Ezek 28:12-26; John 14:30; 16:11; 2 Cor 4:4; 11:13-15; Eph 2:2; Eph 6:11; 2 Thess 2:3-4). This concept of ruling and reigning is found throughout the Bible because it is the chief end to which God is working all of history so that His Son will be glorified in ruling over the nations of the earth (Psa 2). Building towards this glorious end, we have the man David as a significant turning point in the history of God’s plan for a future, glorious kingdom!David is known for two main things in popular Christianity. On the devotional side, he is known as “a man after God’s heart.” This is seen in 1 Samuel 13:14 and Acts 13:22. On the side of disgrace and sin, David is known for his adultery with Bathsheba and the murder of her faithful husband Uriah the Hittite (2 Sam 11:1-12:23). While his sin is particularly heinous, we will focus on his heart toward the Lord and the Lord’s promises made to David. This is seen in 2 Samuel 7:8-16 and Psalm 89.2 Samuel 7:8-16. At the beginning of this chapter, David is disturbed that he lives in a finely-built house with materials of superior quality while the Ark of the Covenant sat in a tent outside (7:1-3). However, the Lord speaks to Nathan the prophet in replying to David, telling him that He is not in need of a house. But it is David’s heart in the matter, his desire to care for YHWH, the love that he wanted to show YHWH, that turns the tables of history with David, seeing that YHWH establishes David’s house and kingdom forever. Notice some of the specifics of this passage.In the same way that YHWH took Saul from a meager existence and elevated him to king (1 Sam 15:17), so YHWH does the same for David (2 Sam 7:8). YHWH recounts His constant presence in David’s life and begins to unfold the blessings that He has in store for him (v.9). This involves the establishment of Israel in the land (v.10), which is in keeping with the promise given to Abram in Genesis 12:2. The specifics in v.10 obviously point to a future time because there is the promise of Israel not being disturbed and that the wicked would not afflict them “as formerly.” Verse 11 elaborates that the “former time” being spoken of was the time of the Judges (hence the importance of having read through Judges), with the declaration of “rest” from all your enemies.YHWH then states that He will build a house for David (v.11b)! This “house” (bayit- “house, temple, dwelling place, family, dynasty”) will be a house of people, descendants that will reign (v.12). Many have concluded that the offspring mentioned in v.12 is Jesus, but v. 13-14 show that the person in mind is Solomon, seeing that he builds the temple for YHWH (1 Kings 6:1-38) and that he was chastised by the LORD for his rebellion (1 Kings 11:11-13). Jesus did not build the temple, nor did He sin and need chastisement. YHWH then notes in v.15 that His hesed (“loyal love”) would not depart from Solomon, contrasting this relationship with that of Saul. If Saul is a picture of a kingdom sustained by works, Solomon is a picture of a kingdom sustained by grace.In v. 16, “forever” is the word used to describe David’s house and kingdom, meaning that it is sure and certain because the Word of YHWH has stated it (v.13). In fact, YHWH goes to great lengths in the Scriptures to reiterate the incontrovertible and indisputable fact of David’s descendant reigning on the throne of Israel and his Kingdom having no end (2 Sam 23:1-5; Psa 89:33-37; Jer 33:14-26). This covenant, like the Abrahamic Covenant, is unconditional in nature, meaning that human failure does not negate its ultimate fulfillment because it is based on YHWH’s Word and not one’s actions. It is possible for human disobedience to hinder the fulfillment of an unconditional promise made by YHWH as seen in Numbers 13 & 14, but this does not mean that the promise will not be fulfilled at a later time by YHWH.The three main elements mentioned in v.16 are: 1) house, 2) kingdom, and 3) throne. As we have already seen, “house” refers to David’s progeny (v.11b). This is a blood line, being established by YHWH. The “kingdom” would be those in David’s line who had the right to rule over Israel. No one else had legal claim to royalty. This was to be a regal, family-ran ministry of humility and servanthood unto Israel (Deut 17:14-20). The “throne” deals with a literal place of ruling in which David’s descendants were to reign. Jerusalem is the place of this reign. It alone is the center of the universe. No other place is sufficient for ruling, nor has the Lord made such promises to any other people.The astute Bible student will immediately notice the connection to the Lord Jesus Christ in these designations. Bergen notes that, “Three of Jesus’ claims concerning himself allude to this verse. First, Jesus claimed he would build a temple (cf. Matt 26:61; 27:40; Mark 14:58; 15:29; John 2:19–22). Second, he claimed to possess an eternal throne (cf. Matt 19:28–29). Finally, he claimed to possess an imperishable kingdom (cf. Luke 22:29–30; John 18:36).”[1]2 Samuel 7:18-29. This passage is David’s prayer-response to what we have just read, which is commonly known as the Davidic Covenant. Of significant observation is the use of “LORD” (YHWH), “God” (Elohim), and “Lord GOD” (Adonai YHWH, meaning “Master, Self-existent One”). The reverence given as a response in prayer is humble and tender, revealing to us the type of man that David was. His transition to “Adonai YHWH” shows the high reverence that he placed upon YHWH and His promise, which he uses eight times in this prayer. In this prayer-response, one will do well to notice the celestial connections made in v.22, 23b, & 26-27.In His grace, the Holy Spirit has seen fit to give us a complementary passage in Psalms that aids in our study of 2 Samuel 7:8-16.Psalm 89:1-37. Before reading this Psalm, it is vital that we are acutely aware of the significance of God’s name “YHWH” when it is used in Scripture. This name communicates the understanding that He alone is self-existent and needs nothing else to survive, endure, be, or continue. YHWH alone is completely self-sufficient and the uncaused Cause of history. All else is His creation. This fact stands in awesome opposition to the divine council in the heavenlies, described here as the “assembly of the holy ones” (v.5), those “in the skies” (v.6a), the “sons of the mighty” (v.6b), the “council of the holy ones” (v.7a), and “those who are around Him” (v.7b). The repetition of YHWH’s name is important. Joseph Alexander explains, “The divine name here used implies that what makes him so terrible is his infinite power. The angels are again called holy ones, but furthermore described as the privy council, the confidential intimates, of God himself… Yet even to these, as being endlessly superior, he is and ought to be an object of adoring fear.”[2]From v.5 to v.18 is a praise unfolding to the superiority of YHWH and the rule that He has because He is the Owner of all things. If the heart does not jump for joy in reading this section, your jumper is broken!The term “Rahab” in v.10 is a difficult one, commonly understood as “Egypt” (Psa 87:4) but also as “Leviathan” (Isa 51:9). Ross explains that “’Rahab,’ representing Egypt (cf. Isa. 30:7), was probably the name of a powerful demonic force thought to be behind that nation.”[3] With the mention of the divine council in v.5-8, the possibility of “Rahab” being the name of the demon over Egypt (v.10), and a possible reference to the “godly ones” in v.19 being the divine council (or possibly the prophet Nathan), one can see that the covenant made with David has some serious implications as far as the heavenly realm is concerned. More on this in a moment.In v.17b & 24b, the use of the word “horn” may seem odd but is seen as trumpets, flasks, on the corners of the altars, and can even be understood as the peak of a hill, all speaking in a literal sense. This word is also used to express someone’s kingdom, strength, or honor when understood in a figurative-literal sense.The Lord is clear in verses 30-37 that David’s son’s disobedience will not negate the promise of YHWH’s Word toward David. The covenant with David’s house does not excuse sin and all sin will be punished. The covenant with David is such that YHWH cannot lie about it (v.33-37). He is faithful to the uttermost in everything that He has spoken.Two things are certain in reading through this Psalm. First, YHWH has a solidified plan with the house of David that has been sealed in the Davidic Covenant. Second, this covenant rests solely on YHWH’s “loyal love” (hesed- “lovingkindness”) and His faithfulness. Even the disobedience of David’s line cannot negate the promise of YHWH.The prophecies spoken forth so far concerning the Messiah have been nothing short of damning to Satan and the fallen angels. In Genesis 3:15, the “seed of the woman” is spoken of as crushing the head of the serpent. In Genesis 12:1-3, Abram is promised a Land and worldwide blessing, but it is the Seed, being the Lord Jesus Christ, that would come forward, even though Abram and Sarai were beyond producing offspring. Genesis 49:10 speaks of the privileged position of Judah, from which the scepter of rule will never depart. The obedience of all people will one day be directed to the tribe of Judah.These prophecies are promises resting on the character of God that await their fulfillment in history. Each step that God takes in revealing more about the eventual triumph of the coming King and the establishment of His glorious Kingdom on earth to rule with a rod of iron (Psa 2) is a threat to the father of lies, the enemy, the murderer, Satan (Col 2:13-15). It is a declaration of victory to the divine council, much of which are demonic spirits overseeing the nations and ruling them in corruption and injustice despite YHWH’s rebukes of them (See Psa 82).For YHWH to extend such a blessed promise to David is monumental. It is David’s faithfulness that brought him such a privilege in YHWH’s plan for the ages, and it would be through David’s lineage that Christ the Lord would enter into this world, both by blood and by heritage as the only One possessing the right to be the King over Israel.The message of triumph is: CHRIST WILL BE KING! YHWH’s WORD STANDS FIRM! Victory is as certain as God Himself![1] Robert D.
