| Due
to the overwhelming demand of my book "100 Ultimate Blues Riffs", I
decided to author another book solely on blues piano/keyboard playing. Most
Blues tunes are made up of a 12 bar progression and I thought that a book that
show the various types and styles of 12 bar blues progressions would be useful
to musicians and students.
This book includes over 50 examples that cover a range of styles, (blues,
jazz-blues, minor-blues, funky-blues, country-blues, rock-blues, Latin-blues,
gospel-blues), tempos, rhythms and key signatures. There is a brief description,
followed by each of the examples perfectly notated, along with the chord
symbols. The latter part of the book contains a chapter on the "Basics Of
Blues Improvisation" for anyone who is just starting out in the world of
Improvising using the Blues as a starting point. Jam - A - Long Tracks At the
end of the CD or cassette there are seven jam - along tracks, each about three
minutes in length so that you may try out examples in the book or your own
improvisational ideas along with a rhythm section of organ, bass and drums.
Customer Comment About This Book I
recently purchased the 100 Ultimate Blues Riffs
& the 12 Bar Blues Bible directly from Mr. Gordon and when I showed
the books to my piano teacher he was so impressed with them that he
bought the books from me and I had to go and buy the books
again from Mr. Gordon.
