Charles PostlewateCharles Postlewate began studying the guitar at age 12 with Lloyd Hazelbaker but received his first college education as a cooperative engineering student for Buick Motor Division at General Motors Institute (now Kettering University) in Flint, Michigan. During his final years of
engineering studies at GMI, he studied jazz with Bob Brown and played
electric guitar in jazz bands in the Flint and Detroit areas. He graduated
with a Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering degree in 1964 and continued to
work for Buick for two more years to save up enough money to study music
at Wayne State University in Detroit. Charles Postlewate is a founding member of the Guitar Foundation of America and has published feature articles in their quarterly journal Soundboard as well as in Guitar International, American String Teacher and Guitar Player Magazine. He is presently Associate Professor at The University of Texas at Arlington. |
Charles Postlewate - Five Finger Technique For The Right Hand - DVD
This DVD is a presentation of the 19-year
project by Charles Postlewate on extending right hand technique for guitar to
include the little finger. Part I presents this technique in actual repertoire,
including standard guitar repertoire (by Barrios, Sor, Torroba and Villa-Lobos),
new arrangements & transcriptions and original compositions. It features
complete performances of twelve pieces recorded on Postlewate's Homage to
Villa-Lobos CD. Each performance is introduced by Postlewate with
explanations and demonstrations of how and where the little finger is used in
the execution of scales, chords, arpeggios, tremolos and harmonics, with
close-up shots of the right hand. Part II explains the training of the right
hand in a five-finger technique, with demonstrations of the above techniques
using sample studies from the different chapters of his book, Right Hand
Studies for Five Fingers. As in Part I, close-up shots show the viewer
precisely how to position the right hand and move the fingers for each study or
set of studies. Each set of studies uses a special progression up and down the
fingerboard and, like the book, this video demonstrates how to make chromatic
variations of these progressions to increase the interest. At the end of Part II
Postlewate demonstrates how the guitarist can develop similar studies to fit
specific right-hand problems not covered in this book and DVD.

Charles Postlewate - Right Hand Studies For Five Fingers - Book
The culmination of a 14 year research project,
this book contains over 350 studies to thoroughly train the right hand of classical
guitarists in the use of all five fingers - adding the little finger to the present
four finger technique. These studies build a five-finger technique in the playing of
chords, arpeggios, tremolos and harmonics, beginning with the thumb and one-finger
combinations and increasing in complexity to the thumb and four fingers. The
studies are played over easy, yet interesting left hand chord progressions up
and down the fingerboard. Postlewate demonstrates how to develop your own right
hand studies by including examples from standard classical guitar repertoire
pieces by Fernando Sor, Federico Moreno Torroba and Heitor Villa-Lobos at the
end of the book.

Charles Postlewate - Contemporary Anthology Of Solo Guitar Music - Book
This is the first compilation of guitar
music specifically composed for right-hand technique that includes the little finger. The
57 compositions include original pieces in the intermediate through advanced levels by
renowned guitarist/composers from Europe, North America, South America, and the
Caribbean. Music by Ernesto Cordero, Carlos Dorado, Jim Ferguson, David Flynn,
Gerald Garcia, John Hall, Ricardo Iznaola, James Lentini, John Oliver, Charles
Postlewate, Mirko Schrader, Burkhard 'Buck' Wolters, and Luis Zea show the
advantages of a five-finger technique in the playing of scales, chords,
arpeggios, tremolos and harmonics. They also show the advantages of using the
little finger for speed, accuracy, strength and balance. All of these
compositions are edited and fingered by Postlewate, pioneer in the use of a
five-finger technique.

John Hall Plays "4 Etudes For 5 Fingers"
Charles Postlewate - Anthology Of 19th Century Studies - Book
This is an anthology of beautiful
easy-to-moderate level pieces by 19th century masters of the guitar: Dionisio Aguado,
Antonio Cano, Federico Cano, Matteo Carcassi, Fernando Sor, and Francisco Terrega,
adapted for a modern right-hand technique that includes the little finger. German
Professor of Guitar Leonhard Beck has compiled this collection with the assistance
of Charles Postlewate, pioneer of the use of the right hand little finger. It shows the
advantage of using the little finger in the playing of scales, chords,
arpeggios, tremolos and harmonics for speed, accuracy, strength and balance.
These studies make good repertoire pieces for the beginning guitarist or for the
advanced guitarist who wishes to add the little finger to an already-developed
right-hand technique. They are graded in three levels of Easy (7 studies),
Easy-Intermediate (9 studies) and Intermediate (11 studies) for the progressive
development of the right hand.
