Truefire Tim Sparks’ My Guitar Heroes: Tim Sparks TutorialSeminal Influences of Top TrueFire Educators
Every musician has a long list of other musicians, past and present, that have inspired, influenced and helped shape their own sound and musicality. It’s the natural evolution of music.

We asked Tim Sparks to pass on to you some of the key learnings that his Guitar Heroes passed on to him…

”Jimi Hendrix, Doc Watson, Agustin Barrios, Kenny Burrell, Lenny Breau, and Ted Greene are just a few of the players that greatly influenced my sound. In this course, I’ll first show you a few of the techniques and approaches that I picked up from each one of them and then we’ll play through a series of performance studies for musical context.

We’ll start out with Jimi Hendrix, whose psychedelic soul was rooted in the blues. Next up, Doc Watson who was a bluegrass picker who came down from the mountain and showed us all how its done.

We’ll explore Agustin Barrios who was more than a classical virtuoso — I like to think of his music as Chopin from the rainforest. The jazz guitar of Kenny Burrell keeps it real with a touch of blues and we’ll also examine influences from Lenny Breau who was a free form fingerstyle jazzer who got way out there, but was always in control.

And finally we’ll check out Ted Greene – whose guitar style was a virtuoso marriage of jazz and classical — one of my favorite players of all time!”

Tim will first introduce his heroes to you and describe why he found them so influential. After each discussion, Tim will then present a performance study illustrating those influences in a musical context. A breakdown follows every performance study and JD will explain and demonstrate all of the key concepts and approaches in play.

You’ll get standard notation and tabs for all of the performance studies. Plus, you’ll be able to use TrueFire’s learning tools to sync the tab and notation to the video lesson. You can also loop or slow down the videos so that you can work with the lessons at your own pace. All of the backing tracks are included to work with on your own as well.
