Summary of This Book
This book + CD dedicated to Stefan Grossman is aimed at guitarists who want to dive into the world of acoustic blues and ragtime with a resource that is both musical and structured. You will find a biography to place the repertoire in its context, as well as guitar sheet music in standard notation accompanied by tablatures: an excellent format for progressing, whether you are more of a reader or more of a "tab" player. The notation allows working on rhythmic precision, alternating basses, syncopations, turnaround patterns, and typical articulations of the style.
The audio CD is a major asset: it features the original recordings of the studied pieces, helping you lock in the tempo, understand the intention, and refine your touch (attack, dynamics, swing). This type of guided listening is particularly effective for assimilating placement and tone, essential in blues. The collection notably includes: Georgia Bound, Hey, Hey Daddy Blues, West Coast Blues, Diddie Wa Diddie, Chump Man Blues, Early Morning Blues, Come On Boys, Let's Do That Messin' Around, That Will Never Happen No More, Policy Blues, He's In The Jailhouse Now, Wabash Rag, Guitar Chimes, Blind Arthur's Breakdown, Sweet Jivin' Mama, Down In The Country, and Police Dog Blues.
In study, this repertoire will allow you to enrich your blues guitar vocabulary (licks, motif variations, accompaniments) while consolidating solid foundations: thumb/finger independence, pulse regularity, control of transitions, and setup. An excellent choice for serious practice while playing pieces that sound great immediately.
