In other words - is this poster violating copyright? I suspect so.

It looks that way to me. Gerard - I know you're posting this to be helpful and I'm sure you mean no harm by it but potentially what you're doing is taking income from the author and the publisher. Would you steal the small change from Warren Nunes pocket? Because when you make copyright material available free of charge like this, that is exactly what you are doing....and so is everybody who downloads this book from your link - there is NO excuse for it.

[Gerard45]

OK, I shall delete it.

[reventlov]

Vihar - I don't know who your post is supposed to be aimed at but for the record, I didn't download the book, and I never knowingly download someone's copyrighted material, I'm not hypocritical about this at all. I've had some of my own copyrighted work pirated in the past and it sucks.

Chord books are usually a waste of time. There's some exceptions, but usually books which tend to give "thousands" of chords are usually crap. They give the same 5 voicings for all kinds of chords. I haven't gone through this whole book but I ran across it at a store and it seemed to be that kind of book. Correct me if I'm wrong, though.

The picture of the cover's gone now (of the chord encyclopedia) but it had a picture of an epiphone acoustic with an oval sound hole and a pickup in the neck. Does anybody know what model it was,if they still make them and of course are they any good?

[TruthHertz]

That was the Howard Roberts. Epiphone made these when they were still an independent company and the old ones were really nice archtops, more open sounding than a 175 who's overall dimensions it shares. Gibson also made a Howard Roberts, and maybe Epi had an overseas produced one after they were bought by Gibson. The old ones are quite sweet and nice.
Whether they are any good, or good for you, or good in the Nietsche sense of Good and Evil or somewhere beyond, only you can decide.
They were built well. Lots of people, including Gilad Hekselman play and love them.

Thanks for thinking about us, Gerard, even though there are probably some ethics issues involved. Who knows, the author of that book may have been paid handsomely by that website to make his book available for free download, although I doubt it.

Your kind act got me thinking about copyrights.

I remember when Napster first started illegallly sharing coyrighted songs. Heck, these days, books, movies, television episodes and all kinds of copyrighted items are available for free download. Youngsters take them without a second thought. We older folks can see the big picture and know that unless they were given persmission, this is like stealing someone's invention the way they used to do in the old days, - and profiting from it.

But it is clear the culture has changed and there is just so much one can do to protect one's intellectual property. Pity, because unless a person puts in the hard work themselves, they often can't appreciate the owner's feelings of being violated when it is given away.

I still won't lend my Jazz CDs to friends so they can upload the songs on their computer for free. Call me a fool, but I just don't think that it's right.

AlsoRan, it's my own book and I had uploaded it with 'Mediafire' because I would do something in return for all the interesting stuff from all the guys here on this site. But you are right about the copyrights.

Kind regards,

By the way, Mr. G, I have that book and I found it to be very helpful as a reference. When I need to know things like which note is the third or seventh, suggested fingerings, how tab looks compared to the standard notation form of the chord, and some possible chord progressions the chord could be used in, I can find the answer very easily in this book.

Also, I have some songbooks with chords that I could not name (one of crazy altered chords!) and this book had the chord in it. And the book is laid out very well, which makes it easy for me to find chords.

I don't have a lot of time, and I don't think I will be Jimmy Bruno any time soon, so I will take a shortcut here or there so I can learn and properly describe a song or maybe a chord being used in a song (as opposed to using memorization or examining the intervals and position of the notes in a given chord.

I use my Spanish/English dictionary the same way, and I apply what I learned about using Spanish from other sources; but, the words and possible synonyms / substitutions come from the dictionary. Just like that dictionary, this book is a tool, and one is limited only by one's creativity and imagination on how the tool can be used.

That's why I am glad I discovered this forum - you get all kinds of information to use as tools in creating and understanding Jazz music.

Take Care.

Wait, I'm confused--it's your book?

I thought the problem folks had with it is that it was an uploaded copy of Warren Nunes' book of the same title?

Actually, they were developed in the 60s, long after Gibson acquired Epiphone, but when they were still producing some of their own models (made in Kalamazoo). That was the Custom, they also made a plain vanilla model.

The Gibson model supplanted the Epi in the 70s, probably about the time Gibson downgraded the Epi line. The Gibson model was changed a bit, it added a second tone knob, even though there was only one pickup. I'm not sure exactly how they split it. Epiphone produced the model for a while in the 90s, made in Korea by Samick. I bought one about 2 months ago and it is a very nice playing instrument, has more acoustic sound than a 175. I haven't played it through an amp yet, but other owners tell me that it benefits from a pickup upgrade as the stock one is a bit harsh (whatever that means-I'll defer judgment 'til I need to amp it).

Sorry, but English is not my native language. What I mean, is that I bought the Jazz Guitar Chord Bible-book years ago (and have paid a lot of money for it here in the Netherlands).

And talking about books: yes, I also wrote a book about chords and Jazz-improvisation. Especially for amateur-mucisians who don't read music notes. You may take a look, although it's in Dutch:

Congratulations. I did not know you were an author, too! Nice.

Since you are Dutch, may I ask if you have ever watched the Dutchbopper Videos on YouTube? He is also Dutch.

The Jazz world can be small, maybe you have met him. He is pretty good. Here he is playing one of my favorite songs.

Yes, I'm writing articles and books, but the above mentioned book is my only musicbook. Mostly I'm writing non-fiction about WWII and the Dutch colonial war in Indonesia. This is my latest book about an ambush in Indonesia (1948) that I have written with Peter Schumacher, who is an retired editor of great Dutch Newspaper.

And this is one of my latest articles. It's in Dutch, but you can read the American CIA-documents:

About Dutchbopper. I know him as a pretty good guitarist, but never met him.
