Ron Anthony, guitar player:
I was born in Pittsburgh Pa. on December 16 1933. I was lucky enough to grow up in an era when the popular composers of the day were the Gershwins (George and Ira), Cole Porter. Johnny Mercer, Harold Arlen and Rodgers and Hart to name a few.
At around 12 years of age, I started doing singing impressions of Billy Eckstine, Nat Cole, Frankie Lane and Herb Jeffries. George Shearing's music, Jackie Cain and Roy Kral (with Charley Ventura) and the Woody Herman band were big influences.
I studied clarinet for a short while. After picking up a guitar in a store one day, my whole life changed.
My first guitar teacher was Jerry Condorato (from Naples Italy). He was a great teacher and a wonderful friend. He taught what was called 'classical plectrum guitar'. (Wonderful for right hand technique.) His influences were Oscar Moore, Django Reinhardt and Andre Segovia. He was also the first teacher of Ron Affif, my nephew, (a wonderfully gifted guitarist based in New York.)
At 18 I started doing little jobs around Pittsburgh and I used to go on Jerry's jobs and sit in for tip money.
In 1955 I became a member of the '7th Army Jazz Band' in Stuttgart, Germany. Upon returning to my home town, I entered Duquesne University (where I now do guitar workshops) majoring in string bass with a piano minor. A year later I became restless with academia and moved to New York.
In 1962 I joined the George Shearing Quintet for 2 years - (I rejoined the group in 1971.) I learned an awful lot from George, and vibraphonist Gary Burton. It was then I started composing ...

Sweeping Harmonic Chords: There are almost endless ways to play harmonics on the guitar. The basic concept is to play a string or strings while lightly touching exactly at a fraction of the string such as the halfway point (or 1/3 or 1/4 of the string length). Any manner that you can 1) touch the string exactly at that point and 2) activate the string on either side of that point (either by striking, plucking, bowing, or tapping on that point) will produce the harmonic ...
