Summary of This Sheet Music
Designed to capture the energy and timing of a real backing band, this sheet music allows you to play 8 standards by B.B. King, a major figure in electric blues. The collection emphasizes practical playing in real situations: you first work with demo tracks to understand the style, intentions, and groove, then move on to playback tracks to perform the pieces as in rehearsal or on stage.
Thanks to sheet music available for Bb, Eb, C instruments and bass clef, the book easily fits into a varied ensemble (brass, rhythm section, melodic instruments). The "detachable" playbacks are a real asset for progress: you can remove guitar, bass, piano, or horn parts to practice taking the role of an instrument, develop your listening skills, or adjust the arrangement to your group. An ideal resource to develop blues vocabulary (phrasing, shuffle, dynamics, instrumental call and response) and strengthen your sense of groove.
Track list: Everyday I Have The Blues, It's My Own Fault Darlin', Just Like A Woman, Please Accept My Love, Sweet Sixteen, The Thrill Is Gone, Why I Sing The Blues, You Upset Me Baby.
