Zipidee Now Offers Musical Instruction from the Masters

Feb. 12, 2008 - PRLog -- Online marketplace Zipidee has made available a series of new instructional videos for aspiring musicians from the “Great Masters” collection, featuring master drummers, including Ginger Baker, Tico Torres, Tommy Aldridge, and Carmine Appice, and master guitarists such as Robin Trower, Buddy Guy, and Eric Johnson.

Some of these great musicians have played with such prolific bands as Kiss, The Rolling Stones, Cream, Whitesnake, and Ozzy Osbourne.  Covering a multitude of techniques, including tunings, dampening, swing, chord substitution, chord melodies, licks, solos, and improvisation, they teach the styles of Chuck Berry, Keith Richards, Jeff Beck, Jimi Hendrix, and Duane Allman.

In “Learn Rock Guitar,” Rolling Stones member Mick Taylor demonstrates string bending techniques and plays “Catfish Blues.”  The video also features Brooklyn-born Bruce Kulick, the lead guitarist of Kiss.  Kulick teaches bending, triplet soloing, and scales.

The “Great Masters” series covers several musical genres.  Internationally renowned guitarist Woody Mann joins Joe Pass and Brian Setzer in teaching chord substitutions and embellishments in jazz music, while five-time Grammy Award winner Buddy Guy, considered the king of Chicago blues, leads a master class in “Learn Blues Guitar.”  Other videos in the series teach guitar techniques for heavy metal, southern rock, and country music.

Instruction for drummers is delivered via “Learn Drums with Six Great Masters,” a multicultural tutorial featuring Bon Jovi’s Tico Torres, demonstrating cross-stick for Latin and blues styles. Tommy Aldridge, drummer for both Whitesnake and Ozzy Osbourne, covers double bass technique, and Carmine Appice rounds out the group teaching snare drum triple beats and drag strokes.
