Tips For Blues GuitarBlues is essentially a folk music and, therefore, devilishly hard to align with standard music theory and practice. The bluesÇ wayward nature in terms of metre and pitch, for instance, (the basic blues scale contains pitches impossible to transcribe using Western music notation) make sure that any theorist who comes within a mile of attempting a so called åstandard workÇ has several serious disadvantages to contend with straight away! With all this in mind, 100 Tips for Blues Guitar takes a look at the music's ancestry in the form of acoustic country bluesÇ before heading off towards the city with electric guitar in hand. Detailed chapters look at essentials like the blues guitar solo and the scales, tricks and techniques necessary to improvise your way around the chord changes in the standard 12 bar blues song. Along the way, we consider deviations from the norm; the eight bar blues, putting jazz into blues soloing and many other modern distortions on the standard blues form. |
