Play Blues Guitar: Beginning Chords, Strums, and Solos
Catalogue No: 07-1121
£20.50
Typically dispatched in 2-3 working days
This is a complete DVD/book package designed for beginning to intermediate guitarists who'd like to learn the blues. Instructor Scott A. Smith teaches everything you need to get started strumming and soloing. You'll learn to play 12-bar blues progressions in major and minor keys, how to play in different keys using movable barre chords and transposable turnarounds, variations on the bluesy dominant 7th chord, and the sad truth behind minor chords. It also covers major and minor variations on the classic I-IV-V progression, constructing solos using the target note method, strumming both classic and funky rhythms, the difference between shuffle and blues rhythms, lots of boogie patterns, and much more!
