The downloadable eBook Blues Grooves for Beginners and Beyond shows you how to play blues shuffles, boogies, riffs and progressions. Even if you're just beginning to learn guitar, this guide will take you step by step to playing Blues Grooves.
Learn these skills:
- the classic 12-bar blues
- turnarounds, riffs, and shuffles
- how to create your own Blues Grooves
- how to enhance basic shuffles with harmony notes
- how to jazz up your blues with the dominant 9 sound and appogiatura chords
- open position and movable blues
- how to create riffs using arpeggios, as well as the mixolydian, pentatonic and blues scales
And more.
Blues Grooves gives you the theory and the practical knowledge of blues rhythm guitar. Over 70 sound files help you practice with accuracy. If your computer is running Windows, these sound files are immediately playable from the eBook itself, through hyperlinks. And Power Tab files (for Windows users) provide a virtual playalong partner, and a way of customizing lessons to your needs. Blues Grooves shows you how to get some of the most engaging sounds from your guitar, from a style of music that requires relatively little effort to begin learning: the blues.
