Summary of This Method
Designed as a practical guide for blues guitar accompaniment, this method immerses you in the rhythmic playing that makes the difference between a simple chord chart and a truly lively back-up. Robben Ford reveals his chord progressions and "motor" rhythmic formulas to confidently support a soloist, whether on a funky blues, a well-driven shuffle, or a more open slow blues. You will find targeted work on two- and three-note movable shapes, ideal for achieving a clear and effective sound without weighing down the harmony, as well as "sliding sixths" patterns to add movement and a typically bluesy color. The method also covers several 7th chord positions (seven different voicings) to enrich your harmonic palette and vary your accompaniments from one chorus to another. Finally, intro and outro licks complete the set to help you start and finish a piece with style. Thanks to the accompanying audio, you can work on consistency, dynamics, and groove, and most importantly learn to let your chords breathe in the right places, just like in a real playing situation.
