Summary of This Method
This book + CD pack offers a very practical approach to developing your blues guitar playing through 25 classic riffs carefully arranged for beginner to intermediate guitarists. Each riff is presented progressively to build a true language: you pick up ideas, link them together, and then reuse them in your own solos and accompaniments. The inclusion of a "Riff History" adds a welcome cultural dimension by connecting the studied licks to the blues aesthetic and its major influences.
The companion CD is a major asset for improving rhythmic precision and articulation. You can listen to the demonstration of each example, then reproduce the inflections, touch, and musical intention-essential elements in the blues. The book also includes audio listening recommendations, ideal for deepening your understanding of the style and refining your ear. An effective method to strengthen your "chops," expand your riff repertoire, and feel more comfortable in jam sessions or group settings.
