Fingerbuster A minute of madness! I first learned this fast little finger-wrecker from a guitarist about 40 years ago. I haven't played it much recently as the fingers are not as limber as they were all those years ago! Then I thought - what the hell - get it on film before I seize up entirely... I don't know who wrote it - it's certainly not Jelly Roll Morton's "Fingerbuster", but it bears a passing resemblance to James P. Johnson's "Carolina Shout". Chords in my version are: G / D / Em / Bm / C /D /C /G / A / / / D / / / G / / / G / / / G / D / Em / Bm / C / D / C / G / A / / / D / / / G / / / G / / / G / / G / / / G / / / G / / / G / / / G / / / A / / / D / / / G / / / G7 / / / C / / / Gdim / / / G / F# / F / E / A / D / G / / / http://www.mjra.net/WillFly/ If you like DIY music and good companionship, why not take a look at the "Front Porch" discussion board.

Jim Hession plays The Lion's" FingerBuster" http://www.artistopia.com/hessionsession New piano CD's are available as of April,2008. Filmed July 31, 2007 at the Word Of Mouth Studio in New Orleans,Jim pays tribute to the genius of Willie "The Lion" Smith. Smith's unique brand of stride piano relied on classical technique merged with the heavily accented New York Style(Harlem) Stride piano-originated by the elder statesman, Eubie Blake. This "FingerBuster" is not to be confused with JellyRoll Morton's "Fingerwrecker," which Jim Hession performs also on YouTube.It could easily be considered a "fingerbreaker"!.

Starship Trooper by Yes From Wikipedia: Many features for which Yes became known are demonstrated for the first time on The Yes Album: * The "democratic" balance of the band — with each member making his own significant contribution — is seen here for the first time. * Steve Howe appeared with the band for the first time and played a very prominent role throughout. His solo acoustic tune, "Clap" (forever renamed "The Clap" by Anderson's mis-introduction on the live track and heavily influenced by the Davy Graham track 'fingerbuster' ) has always been a concert favourite of the band and their fans. * The band began to explore longer songs with "Yours Is No Disgrace," "Starship Trooper," and "Perpetual Change," foreshadowing the many album-side-length tracks that followed on Close to the Edge, Tales from Topographic Oceans and Relayer. * In many parts of the song "Clap", Steve Howe uses an open-string guitar chord method to achieve an airy effect, resulting in a sound wherein the listener might believe that the song is being played as a guitar duet. * The spacey, electronic-sounding guitar effect in "Starship Trooper" was achieved via a flanger, a device that was relatively new at the time of the recording. * Their first keyboard player, Tony Kaye, preferred the simple Hammond B-3 and piano over the "new" (at the time) Moog synthesizers that Anderson was interested in using. This became a cause of contention within the band and had an influence on the line-up change, bringing in Rick Wakeman from Strawbs and his array of electronic keyboards. The Yes Album is generally considered a classic 1970s rock album and a highlight of the band's long career. The songs "Starship Trooper" and "I've Seen All Good People" are still staples of classic rock radio. In 2000 Q magazine placed it at number 86 in its list of the 100 Greatest British Albums Ever.

Jim Hession plays Jelly Roll Morton's "Fingerwrecker" http://www.artistopia.com/hessionsession Jim Hession performs a rendition of Jelly Roll Morton's "Fingerwrecker" that he learned at age 16 from British jazz pianist Ron Weatherburn. Recorded at Fritzel's Jazz Pub, New Orleans French Quarter during the 2007 French Quarter Festival at the request of Austrian clarinetist Wolfgang Friedrich, who heard Jim perform the tune in Disneyland's French Quarter several years ago. The club on this particular night was standing room only, filled with musicians from across the world. This is the case many times a year as lovers of America's own music, jazz, flood into New Orleans to add Bourbon St. to their jazz credentials.
