Product Description

This Blues style contains a solo improvisational melody line, 12 measures in leng designed for the beginner student in mind as a starting point to create your or Improvisational solos.
Blues is the basis of many forms of music and these tracks have been specifically created to include styles such as: Jazz, Funk, Folk, Country, Latin, Rock, Gospel, Pop, Boogie, giving you a well-rounded selection of musical styles based on the Blues.
The track has been recorded, first with the solo playing along with the rhythm backing tracks of keyboards, guitar, bass and drums and immediately following, is the play-a-long backing track that cycles through the 12 bar blues progression 12 times, generally between 5-8 minutes in length, giving you plenty of time to practice.
My suggestion is to first learn and then memorize each solo that you are working on so that you build up a vocabulary of musical phrases. It is vitally important to memorize the solo rather than relying on the music. When you have memorized and mastered the solo, slowly develop your own musical phrases by changing the order and rhythm of the notes "Have fun practicing improvising along to the play-a-long tracks."
I have authored over 120 music instructional books for piano/keyboards, woodwinds, guitar/bass, brass in the styles of Blues, Jazz, Funk, Latin, Rock,Gospel, Country, that are available on the Sheet Music Plus website or my own website http://www.adgproductions.com
