A grand follow on to Days Of Future Past
3 of 3 found this helpful With the success of Days Of Future Past, the Moodys returned to the studio for their next album. They did not try to duplicate the success - or the formula - of that record. Instead, they forged ahead with a new 'theme' that wasn't always cohesive as a 'story'. Yet, it succeeds as a brilliant and consistent effort during their most creative period.
Not content to merely hire people to play the instruments required, the band set about to learn these instruments themselves, keeping the creative juices flowing in the experience of learning something foreign and new. So what you hear is the band playing everything, keeping it 'in house', so to speak.
You know you're in for a treat from the very first moment the music begins. And it delivers all the way through. Though some aspects may sound dated, the music still holds up, still moves the soul of those willing to take the journey in search of the Lost Chord.

Continuing in a logical progression the ideas set forth in books I and II.
This third entry in the Fretboard Logic series continues the movement forward in applying the elements learned in the first and second parts. Generally linear and fairly complete, it is nonetheless going to be a challenge to walk through the examples shown and begin to apply them in your daily routine and in the approach to music, adapting these techniques, where they apply, into your playing, style notwithstanding.

Great Conpendium of earliest Fleetwood Mac
1 of 1 found this helpful What I love about this 'three volume' set is that it is unadorned with 'extras' that are crammed onto the remastered versions. These are the albums as originally released.
Okay, there are some repeats. Big deal.
If you are a fan of the original Fleetwood Mac then you really should get this set to hear the genius of Peter Green, having just come from John Mayall's band to help form this group, and so have a greater say in the content and direction of the music, now out from behind Mayall's shadow and leadership. Don't get me wrong, I love John Mayall's early work, too.
Jeremy Spencer and Danny Kirwain's addition rounds out a great trio of under appreciated guitar players. Granted, Jeremy's obsession with Elvin James can be a bit much (and which he ultimately moved on from), but he still brings a lot through his talent.
British Blues really influenced American Rock & Roll as the 1960s drew to a close. They were not part of the 'family tree', but I think they understood the Blues better than most white players of the time. Why this is so may be related to the English life during the 1950s and 1960s, very tough for the average person back then. That would give birth to the love of the Blues - and so a desire to emulate the style. Ultimately, they showed American audiences how vital this indiginous American music really was, and helped to revive it, prosper it and ultimately ensure its survival and permanent place in the musical lexicon.
What you will hear are some nice renditions of cover tunes, some really well crafted original tunes and some simply brilliant, though spartan at times (and the better for it), performances. It isn't always consistent, but the heart and soul of the members nonetheless shines through.
