AMA Blues Guitar Rules Fischer Peter (incl. CD)

Shortened foreword: Rules for the Blues? Well, this may seem a bit paradoxical to some people. The blues is generally considered the epitome of feeling-oriented music. Quite apart from the fact that this could perhaps be the quintessence of the book you are reading, if you take a closer look, the blues can give you a lot more than just the hint that, for a change, think about the blues feeling instead of eight-finger tapping. In this book I go into great depth when it comes to the practical and theoretical concepts of blues guitar. A look at the table of contents will show you that this book contains all the playing techniques, rhythm guitar and improvisation concepts that are important for the blues guitar. So I hope that " Blues Guitar Rules " meets your requirements for a comprehensive blues guitar textbook. It starts with Stage I - Easy Blues, in which I explain the development and fundamentals of blues and blues guitar. This part of the book is particularly suitable for beginners because of its very simple but very authentic-sounding examples. Stage II - Blues & Blues Rock Styles goes more into the rockier corner of the blues and will give you insight into the concepts and licks using authentic-sounding rhythm figures and blues solos in the style of Clapton, Hendrix, Robben Ford, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Gary Moore and others these guitarists give. The more I delved into the subject of blues, it became clear to me that it is not only the feeling and groove basis for every kind of rock and pop, but that almost every jazz and harmony concept is based on this actually very simple musical starting form can be explained. And as an old "closet jazzer" I couldn't help but get involved in this direction too. The result is Stage III - The Jazz Blues. In this part there will be a lot of concepts that come from jazz, but they also work perfectly with a Strat and a turned up Marshall. Which brings me to the next point: the included CD. Of course you will find a lot of examples and blues jam tracks on it. To experience the greatest learning effect with this book, you should work closely with the book and the CD. Especially with the blues, you have to use your ears to understand the phrasing of the examples. Of course, this also applies to intensive listening to blues records, because without that, I'm afraid, unfortunately nothing works, especially when it comes to the so often praised blues feeling. " Blues Guitar Rules "? Blues guitar rules? Fortunately, the English language offers another translation for the title of this book. “To rule” means “to govern” or in colloquial language something like “to be official” or “to be the best/coolest ever”. At least that hits my core! In this sense ...
