Product Description
by Jeff Gardner (Author)
A complete all-instruments guide to basic blues forms and improvising. Bass lines, left hand piano patterns, comping patterns, blues scales and melodic patterns, 12 and 8 bar blues, rock, funk, boogie woogie, and New Orleans styles, blues in 3/4, and a discography of important blues recordings. "Clear and concise, serves as a basis for teachers to guide their pupils through the subject, or, for those students with a basic knowledge of music, to use the book themselves to dig deep into the Blues, whether they be pianists, string players, wind players, or any other instrumentalist." Antonio Adolfo "Puts within our reach all of the subtleties of the Blues. Jeff Gardner, with the clarity of his explanations, well-conceived musical examples, and unsurpassed musicianship, was the right person to give us the necessary tools to understand this style at once simple and complex." Nelson Faria
