Course Blog: Blues Rock Road Trip – Part 1
TweetTrueFire Course Blogs are created by students who post summaries of their learning experience as they work through a particular TrueFire course. While an individual student starts and then leads a Course Blog, many other students join in the process. Participating students post additional information related to the course, which extends the overall educational quality of the learning experience. The following is an excerpt from the course blog by Wolfboy1 from the TrueFire Forum on Joe Deloro's Blues Rock Road Trip:
Well, we're off on a road trip!
When I got this course I was really interested to take a look at some "roots" rock and roll -- the bedrock players, so to speak (and no, I don't mean the Flintstones), from early icons like Bo Diddley and Chuck Berry to later blues-fused heros like Hendrix, Clapton, Page, Richards, and Beck. Plus, I figured this course would have a strong rhythm component. I was influenced by the old Sarge Chris Buono back in SWAT Camp, and I added Road Trip and Road Trip 2 around the same time.
I love Chuck Berry, and that's right where we start off in this one: a standard 4-part lesson on Chuck's style, with two rhythm and two lead lessons that are very Berry. Joe starts off referring to Chuck's Chess Records days and how the Chicago record label had backing blues musicians playing a shuffle behind Chuck's rhythm guitar, which he played more or less straight. Listed to the difference when Joe plays them. You gotta to know the blues shuffle...it's fundamental.
As the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame puts it, “While no individual can be said to have invented rock and roll, Chuck Berry comes the closest of any single figure to being the one who put all the essential pieces together.” Chuck Berry was born in Missouri in 1926. By age 22 he’d spent several years in jail, gotten married, and worked as a factory worker, janitor and beautician. In early 1953 he started playing with Johnnie Johnson’s Trio, covering Nat “King” Cole and Muddy Waters and mixing it up with some country or hillbilly songs.
“Listening to Nat Cole prompted me to sing sentimental songs with distinct diction,” Berry once said. “The songs of Muddy Waters impelled me to deliver the down-home blues in the language they came from. When I played hillbilly songs, I stressed my diction so that it was harder and whiter. All in all, it was my intention to hold both the black and the white clientele by voicing the different kinds of songs in their customary tongues.”
In 1955 the band traveled to Chicago and Berry began stealing the limelight with his outlandish showmanship. Around this time he came to the attention of Muddy Waters, who suggested Chuck contact Leonard Chess of Chess Records, the label that Waters had recorded with throughout his career. Leonard was concerned about the decline in the popularity of Chicago blues and was beginning to look elsewhere for the next big thing.
Berry’s first track with Chess was “Maybellene,” a reworking of a classic country & western hit, released in August 1955. The song went to #5 and in doing so changed the course of music history. The song was significant not just because its musical style hinted at the rock and roll that was to follow, but also because it signaled the start of “black” music gaining widespread popularity with mainstream, young, white America.
In the Road Trip course introduction, Joe refers to the rhythms from "Johnny B. Goode" and "Roll Over Beethoven." Here they are:

The Original Rock Star
Tweet
A few years back, Stanford scientist Dr. Alexander Kosovichev and his gang of space junkies recorded something that had never been heard before: the sound of the sun. What they found was that our shiny deity hums in D#.
What’s more, the sun’s magnetic fields cause the sound waves to oscillate in a sound pattern reminiscent of a plucked acoustic guitar string. Yes, our sun is a rock star. And hoi polloi Euro-electronica bands have already crafted entire libraries of made-for-yoga soundtracks to capitalize on that.
But don’t go pointing your microphones at the sky just yet; we can’t hear the sun from Earth.
Hellish explosions in the sun’s interior reverberate throughout our star at an incredible 3 MHz – far below anything our puny human ears can acknowledge. Not to mention, those sound waves have to travel through the 93,000,000-mile black vo
id that lies between us and the sun. Simply put, you ain’t never gonna hear the sun using that old SM57.
Luckily, Dr. Kosovichev had the multi-million dollar space gizmos one would need to hear what’s been dubbed “the sun’s song.” He recorded 40 days worth of the 3 MHz sound waves and speed them up by a factor of 42,000. The result is a highly emotional 30-second clip of the sun singing at 300 Hz – a note slightly above D4.
If you’ve never heard the sun, be prepared for a moment of existential crisis, palpitating musical inspiration and a newfound respect for the D chord.
Sound of the Sun:

Fireside Chat: John Wlaysewski
Tweet
Our latest Fireside Chat is with a Zeppelin-loving, Fender-playing guitarist who is unafraid to go to 11 and shred on solos. His name? John Wlaysewski. He is the co-founder of and guitar player for Flying Machines, a New York-based band that John describes like this:
“Flying Machines invite you to buckle in for an engine-revving plunge toward melodic euphoria. Enjoy the in-flight movie, wherein the young hero finds out that life is not the destination but the journey, and that the road to hell is paved with good intonations.”
The band has been compared to the likes of Muse, Ben Folds, The Strokes and Queen, and their self-titled debut album has been summed up as "timeless, classic-sounding modern rock [that] is musically precocious, but never precious." To learn more about Flying Machines and John personally, we sent Charlie Doom to fire some questions:
1. First off, if you weren't a musician, what would you be and why?
Thanks for having me on TrueFire! If I wasn't a musician I would be a producer. I have nurtured a talent for 'hearing' the great idea and making it come alive. It's something I love doing, and in a band with a talented writer like William Ryan George (Singer/co-songwriter) I get to produce when he brings in new material, which is often. I also learned a lot about producing by watching Spencer Proffer in the studio when we recorded our debut CD.
All that being said, I'm so happy to be a guitar player!
2. Honestly, how many hours a day do you practice?
Two hours a day. Lately I've been playing a lot of acoustic guitar and I think it's pushed me to play even more. But yes, I do truly love the guitar and play every day, not as a chore but because I am addicted to it.
3. What are you listening to lately?
I’ve been into Phoenix a lot lately. It inspires me that they are on their 4th album. That kind of commitment and excitement about writing and playing, to plug away in relative obscurity until having the one two punch of "Lisztomania" and "1901" from the new album. It's inspiring to me or my 'brain'. I am perusing MEW. Now that's an ambitious band. I've been working my way through the Tom Waits triple album, Brawlers, Bawlers and Bastards. I love hearing music that comes from intuition and personal vision and character tics... Waits has all of that.
4. How would you describe the music business today?
Open for revision. With all the ways people can obtain music, make music, and send it to potential fans, the future is out of the hands of labels. Blogs, tastemakers and word of mouth is just as effective in some circles as the traditional media push and top-down approach. I think the downloading revolution and the death of the 'album format' has forced some bands to have to write better songs and release no filler, so every track as a separate entity will get heard and desired. This can be negative in streamlining a band and inhibiting larger concepts they may want to try, but for bands that make commercial music, I think it has pushed them to write more consistent songs. In the end, I for one am glad to be here right now, to be part of what is happening.
5. Stranded on a desert island, which guitar would you take?
I am a Strat man. My American Fender Stratocaster is my muse and lifeblood. I also have been writing on a sweet Takamine I borrowed from a cousin, though I am not sure what the model and make is.
6. Should world leaders learn how to play guitar? Why?
World leaders should jam with each other. Rhythm, melody and harmony are universal concepts, and I think it shows that even cultural differences and approaches to these concepts are still beautiful. We can all learn that differences are sublime and part of the larger mosaic of the life experience. A solid 20-minute world leader blues jam might point out our humanity.
7. Let's talk about what's going on with you right now, your new album, and what’s next?
The band is gearing up to tour in the New Year. We have a big show at SXSW set up through Converse and the Get Out of The Garage Music Contest. The plan is to tour our way from New York to Texas and play SXSW, then hopefully tour our way to the west coast. At the moment we are booking New York shows and watching our college and commercial radio campaigns intently. One idea I have is to visit the college radio stations for interviews and acoustic performances. I am so excited to have an album in stores, and we plan to do everything we can to support its release. We are also writing some new music and seeing what direction our writing will want to go for the next CD. Looking ahead already!
8. What's the most valuable career advice you've ever received?
Wow, I've learned a lot more from watching people work and by example than by advice. I would say that one thing I have learned is to see the whole arc of a career and not get preoccupied by success or failure. There is a larger picture; patience and seeing the forest for the trees are two extremely important lessons. Let things play out, a lot of times there is a larger good encompassing what seems to be a temporary letdown.
9. Should artists allow free downloads and file sharing -- or does that devalue the music?
I would say that people deserve free music. I also believe that file sharing should be embraced as a great advertising tool to get your band to the public. Please share our music. I encourage it. The only way to devalue music is to make music of a lesser value, or make music for the sole purpose of making money. Then, even if more money was made, 'music' was devalued.
10. Do you feel you're still improving as a player? How do you push yourself creatively?
I am always improving, even when that means playing less or playing more simply. I have written and performed my best guitar solos and rhythms when I have let my intuition guide my playing. And I do practice 2 hours a day - a lot of that is running scales and finger exercises. So technically I have gotten a little faster and stronger every day.
11. What attracted you to the guitar as your instrument of choice?
My favorite aspect of any rock song was always the singing and guitar playing. The energy; the sexual, visceral experience of the universe being confronted by the perfectly bent guitar note matched with the perfectly chosen vocal riff. It was always devastating. I could never sing the way I wanted to, I am more of an Elliot Smith vocally than a Robert Plant, but I was able to express myself on the guitar after about 2 years of playing, and I knew almost instantly that guitar was my voice, my way of speaking to the world.
12. And finally, any words of wisdom for your fans and fellow pickers?
Guitar players: learn way past what you need to play your music. In the end, your talent and craft will speak even if you are playing Gm, D, and C. Fill your quiet hours; days and weeks of seeming inactivity with your CD or band; with creativity and writing. Idle hands may push you to break up a project prematurely or shake things up negatively just to have something interesting going on. As much as you can, see the forest. The trees are the work, but the forest is the work of art. Say yes to as many opportunities as your life allows as each one can be the door that opens to a next level of better opportunities.
p.s. Don't sign anything without a lawyer.

Branding: Musical Identity as a Career Move
Tweetby Rich Tozzoli
On this past Veteran’s Day, the Punch-In ran a handful of videos featuring performances of “The Star-Spangled Banner.” Slash was featured in one of them, and in a very rare move he performed without his trademark top hat. Or, we should say, the hat wasn’t on his head — it sat on a nearby guitar stand. And while it was very cool to see Slash honor the hats-off tradition for the national anthem, it also got us thinking about what that signature stovepipe hat is all about: Branding.
Yes, we mean “branding” in the crass, capitalistic, Madison Avenue sense. Of course, the marketing term is based on the red-hot iron brands burned into the hide of livestock. Those indelible marks were used to create a permanent stamp of identity, and that’s exactly what promotional branding is all about today.
If you thought branding was the exclusive domain of Coca-Cola and Apple Computers, well, think again. It also works wonders for that one-and-only guitarist with a top hat, black curls, and a low-slung Les Paul.
Black Magic Marketing
Another great example of a successful brand is Carlos Santana. Did you know he also sells Carlos brand perfume, handbags, and women’s footwear? No fooling. That’s not to mention his Santana Reserve Brut wine and a chain of Maria Maria restaurants with a guitar on the marquee.
You might chuckle (we did) but do you get why Carlos can sell all of those products when they have nothing to do with music? It’s because he has cultivated a marketable identity. He’s not selling a sound or a song — he’s selling Santananess. He is remarkably consistent with his brand, too: his album covers, clothes, guitar inlays, and his website all share a look and an image. It all started with his sound, but Carlos (the musician) and others like him have parlayed a musical signature into a brand that can be easily identified — and then promoted and sold. The mention of their name conjures a sound and an image all at once. Slash. Metheny. Flea. Hendrix.
And you are…?
So, we have to ask. What’s your brand? How do you distinguish yourself? Is your guitar playing unique in its own right? Do you augment your professional image with some non-musical signature like clothing or artwork — and is it consistent across your blog, your cover art, and your MySpace profile?
Can you describe your musical approach in just a few words? If someone caught your show and wanted to tell a friend about you, what would they say?
Just Do It
If it’s a little tough to accept that our well-loved art form of music is so entangled in marketing, consider it another context. Think about the brands of certain sports figures, and what they represent: Michael Jordan, Shaq, Allen Iverson, Deion Sanders, Peyton Manning, Derek Jeter and so on. These guys each have a certain “packaging” that is immediately recognizable. Their appeal is shrink-wrapped for the consumer. These people have turned their talent and image into a unique brand that, to be blunt, helps them make money.
Are they so different, really, from Jimmy Page, Robert Smith, the Edge, Eddie Van Halen, Ace Frehley, or Larry "Mr. 335" Carlton? Regardless of your personal likes and dislikes, or your distaste for mixing money and creativity, there’s no denying that the recognition factor is a valuable asset.
Create…and Cultivate
Now step back and think of a few things that might help you build recognition in a media-blitzed world filled with competition. What small lessons taken from the giants mentioned above might be used to help promote yourself and/or your band? What would separate you from the pack and give you an edge?
We mentioned Slash at the outset — his image since the first day the Guns ’n Roses broke has remained consistent, helping to brand Slashness in our minds. For the Edge, it’s been the use of delay and a perennial knit hat. The same applied to Eddie Van Halen for years, with his insane technique, that big grin, and “Frankenstein” guitars covered with bicycle-tape stripes. If you saw EVH playing a sunburst Telecaster, it would be like, whoa, that’s odd! So, what small detail would help you foster a consistent and memorable image? It could be as simple as a cool sticker on your guitar (Tom Morello) or eyeshadow (Robert Smith, Billy Joe Armstrong). It could be a totally unique guitar tone (Bill Frisell, SRV). While the possibilities are nearly endless, it’s important to try to do something to make yourself unique.
You Be You
Finding something that makes you stand apart from the crowd may not be so easy. If it’s any good, it will probably take some work and serious thinking time. Learn from others, both inside and outside of the music business. Observe how they do what they do on television, in print, and elsewhere in the media. Step back and examine yourself as you identify what your USP — Unique Selling Proposition — might be. Then act upon it and keep the message consistent.
Our last bit of branding advice is to think about your strengths as a player. Consider what makes you proud as a creative person. Bear in mind, you don’t have to change who you are or what you create to establish a great brand. On the contrary, you want to hone in on those unique identifiers — and then capitalize on them.
