Welcome to the School of the Blues Lesson Series! This book and recording were created to help give you context to all the music you worked so hard to learn. The recorded Play-Along Trax have no Bass. This gives you theopportunity to work on your blues Bass patterns. I have used several different keys and tempos throughout these Play-Along Trax. These Play-Along Trax give you a very realistic example of how you would play live with aband.Music examples are kept fairly simple to make sure this book is accessible to Bass players just above the beginning level. For best understanding of these techniques refer to Mel Bay's Blues Bass Level 1(MB21063BCD).Lastly all the references in this book are written for a right-handed four string electric Bass. If you play a 5 string Bass you just need to extend the examples to include your B string. If you playleft-handed then you need to reverse any references to the left and right hands. We will use standard music notation along with Bass tablature (TAB) for this book. Includes access to online audio.

This Bass method differs from others since it is entirely based on practice. You will not find riffs or licks of one or two lines but rather full pieces in the style of some of the greatest bluesmen - Otis Rush BB King Eric Clapton Freddie King Buddy Guy Albert King Stevie Ray Vaughan Magic Sam and more. Before addressing the 50 Bass lines in this method a preliminary chapter will teach you how to build lines in the blues style. In doing so you will be able to analyse what you areplaying later before learning to create your own. Youâ??ll also be introduced to structure rhythm arpeggios scales chromatic approaches and more. The included DVD allows you to listen to all of the featured Bass lines played at normal speed thenat a reduced speed in order to learn the right gestures. The MP3 CD contains backing tracks for you to play along to at two different speeds: the first being normal (the speed to be achieved) while the second is reduced to help with study. Intotal over seven hours of music is included giving you the opportunity to practice in the best possible conditions.This Bass method differs from others since it is entirely based on practice.

No one- or two-bar riffs and licks but complete chord progressions performed in the style of illustrious blues Guitar players such as Otis Rush B.B. King Eric Clapton Freddie King Buddy Guy Albert King Stevie Ray Vaughan or Magic Sam! In the preliminary chapter of this tutorial you will first be taught how to piece basslines together in blues. This wonâ??t only allow you to comprehend the 50 basslines presented here but in a second step it will also enable you to create your own ones. For that you need to learn about structure rhythm arpeggios scales chromaticapproaches ... in sum to get to know blues by delving into it! The DVD included in the tutorial offers you the possibility to mindfully observe all 50 basslines â?? first at actual playing speed then at a slower speed. This again gives you the opportunity to closely follow the movement of the hands to choose the right fingerings and keep a steady beat(!) For its part the MP3 CD is composed of as many backing tracks as there are basslines in the tutorial; the 50 backing tracks are recorded at two different tempi: the intended tempo (actual playing speed) and the rehearsal tempo (slower speed). On the backing track at actual playing speed the bass is only present during the first round then it disappears yielding the floor to you. The backing tracks provided here are of an appropriate length (about 4 to 5 minutes each which sums up to almost 7h of musical practice). This means that you have enough time at your disposal to practice under the best conditions.
