Blues music
is a sturdy, adaptable
music that reflects many
shades of emotions and
lends itself to numerous
stylistic
interpretations. This 5
1/2 by 8 QWIKGUIDE is
designed to help the
bassist become more
versatile. Each blues
bass pattern in this book
is played over four bars
of C7. By practicing all
50 licks over the same
chord progression,
students can learn the
basic concept of
improvisation: how to
play a variety of musical
phrases over the same
chord or chord changes.
Each example is written
in both notation and
tablature exactly as it
is recorded. The
accompanying audio,
featuring Larry McCabes
Heat-Seeking Missile
Blues Band is recorded in
stereo with drums and
rhythm guitar in the
center, bass guitar on
the left, and lead guitar
on the right. The licks
are recorded at a
moderate tempo for ease
of learning. The rhythm
guitar parts heard on the
online audio recording
are taught in Mel Bays
101 Bad to the Bone Blues
Guitar Rhythm Patterns.
The lead guitar parts are
taught in Mel Bays Famous
Blues Guitar Lines.
Includes access to online
audio.
