Press Release:

ANNAMERCURY

Marinated together in early 2009 as the 5 member band like blending choice seasoned spices in a culinary treasure to create rock music for the world. Although, initially each member helms from different corners of the west region of the United States. They met and formed the band while living in Seattle, WA after a consistent time of artistically crossing paths. The underlining unspoken message the men want to say with their music is: “From the basement, to all the listening and visual audiences everywhere this is for you”.

“AM” (AnnAMercury) is comprised of Brady singing lead vocals, Jeff playing drums, Robin strumming the bass, with guitars being laced by both Pete and Ryan. All five share a mutual inner passion for music and a quiet determination to be as good as they possibly can be. The music that the band chooses to create is original in nature with a savory rock-n-roll flavor. And each member contributes by drawing on their own musical backgrounds in a combination of ways to make the songs happen.

After only seven months in the making the band is currently working on finishing its first songs to be recorded as an EP late summer in the legendary London Bridge Studio. Also, be sure to look for the band to begin their live public performances this coming November 2009 with much fanfare debut.

EP release date is scheduled for November 15th 2009...You don't want to miss it! Checkout and follow the band at: (www.myspace.com/annamercurylive) & (www.reverbnation.com/annamercury)

Thank you,
ANNAMERCURY

Some guitar players just want to play modes NOW- not devote years to studing music theory. After learning music theory to the point of playing modes, I soon realized that there is a way to explain how to play all these modes in every key simply by counting frets. I developed this Modes Method in 1986, and have been using this approach in my lead playing ever since. I can show you how to play this way in just minutes. It’s OK, I know that you do nott believe me--but I can prove it to you. Play in:

LOCRIAN
DORIAN
PHRYGIAN
AEOLIAN
IONIAN
LYDIAN and
MIXOLYDIAN

No theory, no TAB, no memorizing note names in countless scales! You do nott even have to read music notation. I show you how to move my PRIMARY scale down or up the neck by counting frets in order to play each mode in all twelve keys. Only ten dollars, and I pay the shipping. Do not ignore this valuable offer- you may not be able to find it again! I will send part of it to you. Works for guitar and electric bass. Circumvent music theory. Open up an enormous vista to your playing. Write me! Not a scam- I can prove this.

I have only spent 1 hour working on the system so far and i can see how this will help me!!!....Thanks Again Randy

THANK YOU for getting me out of the box. THIS is a turning point moment for me. I ll keep in touch --Tony

Hey man I have it and I am putting it to use. Had one of my jam buddies play A and Am then ran the minor pentatonic scale and I see what you mean about “add two notes”. I feel confident this is going to help me. So Dan, here you have it, - you told me so. Thanks again, Ron

I am a guitarist and drummer by trade. I also play the bass and keys/piano, I compose, and I have a small recording studio. I have all my own gear and a somewhat flexible schedule. Making money would be great, but I mostly just want to play music. Music genre matters little.

Bass, Mid (channel 2 only) and Treble Controls for each channel, Variable Spring Reverb and Effects Send/Return Jacks, 1/4-inch Headphone Jack, Channel selection/crunch footswitch included. $100.00.

I devised this method of playing modes in 1986, and have been using it successfully ever since. My Method provides you with the modes below in all keys by just using one fingering position using all strings across the neck. Just count frets and you’re there! This is not a trick--play modes with no theory knowledge, no memorizing note names, no reading music or TAB. Play in all keys the following modes:

LYDIAN
IONIAN
PHRYGIAN
DORIAN
AEOLIAN
MIXOLYDIAN &
LOCRIAN

Always hit the right notes, no more clunkers. Works for bass as well. Only ten bucks, shipped. Write for part of the method. This is a short-cut that bypasses around music theory that can save you years of study. Leave those plateaus behind you and open up your playing instantly! Do nott ignore this valuable offer. Write back!! Not a scam; I can prove it.

From Modes Method users:
Thanks Dan. It seems to be a neat system. I am working into it in my practice now.--Jeff

The more i read and study your little method thingy the more it becomes obvious to me. it's almost embarrassing that you can play for x amount of years and overlook little stuff like that. especially when youre [already] using that [scale] box all the time. but oh well, now i know. (well ive known for a really long time now; now im just aware that i know, haha). anyway though man, i appreciate it.
Later- John

Honesty, indeed. Never seen that before ever. You got it bro. I can promise to send $15. A little bit of a bonus if youd like. -David
