Summary of This Method
This method is designed for guitarists who want to master the essential blues rhythms and make them sound "like on the records." Through an approach focused on shuffle, boogie, and swing, it guides you through the playing feel, accents, and timing that make all the difference in a band. The examples cover a wide range of traditions: the raw attack of Delta, the bounce of country blues, the essential language of Chicago blues, the more orchestrated turns of Kansas City, the power of Texas blues, the typical syncopations of New Orleans, the smoother grain of West Coast, up to the more sophisticated colors of bebop blues.
For effective progress, the method combines reading in tablature and notation to secure fingerings while developing your rhythmic understanding. The online audio, accessible via a unique code included with each copy, offers demonstrations of each style and tracks to play along and work on endurance, consistency, and groove sense. The integrated audio player provides practical training features: slowing down without pitch change, loop points, key change, and left/right panning to isolate a part and better hear details. An excellent support to build solid accompaniments, enrich your blues vocabulary, and become more comfortable in jams.
