Clint Strong Video Tab?

DrNic · April 12th, 2007, 09:34 AM

Hey guys,

I recently got given an old video by one of my students by Clint Strong (Haggard's old guitarist) called "Mastering Jazz Licks". I knew this guy could play, but WOW! This is good stuff, and he talks about combining a jazz approach with country changes. However - you guessed it - the booklet has gone astray somewhere. I'm normally pretty good at figuring stuff out just from listening and watching, but this guy is FAST and doesn't really follow any of the nice cosy patterns a lot of us mortals are guilty of using. I've tried to buy a new copy of it (was hoping it'd be on DVD somewhere) but it seems to be out of print. Any of you pickers have this vid and be willing to scan the booklet for a frustrated Irishman? I'd of course be happy to pay for any postage etc. Alternatively, if anyone could tell me where I could get my mitts on a new copy either in Europe or the States that'd be pretty cool...

Cheers for your time, folks - keep on pickin'...

I have this video with the booklet. Gimme til after tax season (April 15), and I'll scan it in.

And yes, Clint is a monster.

Cheers Dave, I really appreciate it.

And I gotta add - as a country/blues picker starting to move into jazz-tinged territory, your transcription of Brent's "Swing with a Sting" has been incredibly useful. Western Swing can be a difficult genre to just "dip into", but SWAS has given me some insight into how to apply all these chromatic and chord-based lines over an actual progression. Outstanding work my friend! (PS The "Hot Wired" stuff is pretty amazing too...)

Good luck with the tax returns...

Hiya Dave; I am in the exact same boat as DrNic (have the video but no booklet) - I would love to obtain a copy of the complete booklet! Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thnx!

GitHead · February 29th, 2008, 11:50 AM

Hi Dave,

I'm afraid I'm in the same situation as Red and Dr. I would be grateful if you could hook me up with a copy too when you send it to these guys.

Thank you

that cat's got serious chops--i love the stuff he did with tommy morrell & the time warp top hands...

GitHead · February 29th, 2008, 04:51 PM

He is great but I learned of him from the video. All I see on iTunes from Tom Morrell is Wolf Tracks. Can you point to a couple specific tracks that he is featured on?

Thanks

CdBaby has Freddie Powers the Country Jazz Singer Collectors Edition which you can download. Has long samples of the cuts. You'll get a big dose of Clint Strong.

Off the top of my head, "Pterodactyl Ptales" and "I Don't Care Anymore" have great Clint Solos. As mentioned above, the Freddie Powers stuff is available, too; I think "The Country Jazz Singer" is definitive Clint.

GitHead · March 3rd, 2008, 06:09 PM

Thanks, I was able to find both Pterodactle Ptales and The Country Jazz Singer on iTunes. It's great to find this stuff and I appreciate the help.

Valvey · March 5th, 2008, 04:08 AM

I managed to dig up a couple of Clint Strong transcriptions I made a few years ago. Included are Powertabs of I Don't Care Anymore and Ida Red solos. I also included audio clips of the solos in the zip.

Thank you! I downloaded power tab and opened them up. Great work and cool application. I like how you specified the chord for each measure. I am grateful.

Who are some of your favorites to cop licks from?

DrNic · March 5th, 2008, 07:35 PM

Anyone else have trouble downloading this? It seems to get so far (about 50% is the best I've managed) then grinds to a halt.

GitHead · May 29th, 2008, 01:03 PM

Dr Nic, hook me up with that book, PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!

GitHead · June 10th, 2008, 05:20 PM

Thanks Dr Nic!!!!!!!

DrNic · June 11th, 2008, 11:03 AM

Githead, check your PMs. I'm on the case.

Romulo · June 27th, 2008, 08:09 PM

clint is a truly underrated guitar hero, im looking for the booklet anyone have it? I would really apreciate it¡¡¡¡¡

OK, we overcame the odds and by the efforts of generous people came up with the Clint booklet. I have another challenge...anybody have the booklet for the Brent Mason Nashville chops and western swing guitar video?

Have you heard this guy? What do you think?

I've been trying to buy his album Hot Wired but don't see it on iTunes or Amazon. I emailed Brian W who is managing Brents web site but he just responded with "Did you hear his latest album?" I responded with yes where can I find Hot Wired and again he responded with "Did you hear his latest album?" I don't know what the deal is with that.

Update: Turns out Hot Wired is out of print.

GitHead · September 17th, 2008, 11:49 AM

I did get a copy of Brent Masons Hot Wired. It's awesome.

Second plea...anybody have the video booklet for Brent Masons Nashville Chops and Western Swing Guitar? Somebody gave me the video but it didn't include the book.

Thanks
