Cheerios!

The NAMM show is always full of new stuff and some are
just exquisite and breath taking. The one that really get all my attention
was the MONO guitar bags. I always looked all around for a gig bag that can
protect my guitar… and, at the same time, big enough to get stuffed with
gears, strings, tuners, cables… all I need for concerts… Hey, and why
not some extra room for clothes, toothbrush and my favorite coffee mug if I
stay overnight?

If on the top it looks cool, way cool and is green…
that would be heaven. I was dreaming about it, MONO made it. Do you believe
that?

Modern design, well thoughts with thick padding, I’m also
a big fan of the ease with which you can tuck the shoulder straps in that
handy pocket in the back. Very well made and well thought out.

Watch this vid of
Vernon from
Living Color unpacking at the
hotel… you won’t believe it!  

Vernon Reid :: Unpacked from MONO on Vimeo.

Introducing a new breed of hybrid cases and accessories for music industry
professionals. Indestructible materials. Smart features, green,
indestructible materials, lightweight construction, smart features. Go Play

For now they have gig bags for electrics, drums and basses… but in July,
the guitar bag for classical cats will come out. Be ready to a BIG change… Check that out…

The NAMM Show brought a lot of new projects and the Villa Lobos DVD has been released with great success in Australia and South East Asia.

Villa Lobos Instructional DVD

This is the very first performance and instructional DVD about How to Play Villa Lobos' Preludes and Choros #1. Using the split screen and close ups, I show you in details all the possible fingerings for you to develop your own interpretation. Detailed exercises to play fast scales (like in Prelude #2), what is a Choros and how to play the rhythminc pattern, control the voicing and emphasize the inner voices (like in Prelude #5).

You will also learn how to play arpeggios evenly, increase the speed, and all the technical difficulties are subjects to exercises. Watch previews now:

Philippe Bertaud on the Music by Villa Lobos

This DVD is Produced by Garry Powell for Miramuse, LLC and internationally distributed by Carl Fisher Publishing.

Have fun with it and stayed the tuned: the next DVD is in preparation and will be released soon.

My new Alhambra Cutaway!
Well, I always liked to have a guitar that can “make it all”.
A total fusion guitar.

After the international success of the Villa Lobos DVD, Carl Fisher and I are working on the next project. More to come in June… released for the Fall 2010

It’s official now! We formed a trio with Cem Duruoz and Ricardo Cobo. The official website.
Both of them play on Alhambra now (who wouldn’t? Tell me…) and we had on the fire this trio project mixing the Turkish, South American Jazzy sounds all together. A tour in the Fall 2010 will follow with a unique concert at Carnegie Hall… Stay tuned.
