With
its 50 Blues rhythms
inspired by the biggest
hits of the greatest
guitarists of all time
(Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy,
Albert King, Muddy
Waters, Stevie Ray
Vaughan, Robert Cray,
Albert Collins, B.B.
King, T-Bone Walker
etc.), this tutorial will
keep you pleasantly busy
for quite a while. But
there’s more to it
than that! Besides
affording pleasure, these
rhythms allow you to
discover and study the
tools required for a good
Blues accompaniment:
triads, double stops,
single notes, bends,
barre chords, slides,
hammer-ons, pull-offs,
rest strokes, binary and
shuffle rhythms, etc. All
this is included in the
guidelines given to you
in the preliminary
chapter –guidelines
regarding the structure,
the rhythm, as well as
the chords employed. The
DVD attached to the
tutorial offers you the
possibility to mindfully
observe all 50 rhythms
– 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 rhythms 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 Guitar 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.
