Description Learn to play the blues the only way that counts, by playing the blues! Dave Rubin presents 55 authentic blues guitar performance solos in a wide variety of styles, specially devised for the elementary guitar student. Each piece in this book is a complete, self-contained solo, including bass notes, chords, rhythms and the lead. By playing the tunes, not only will you discover all the licks, turns and vamps that a true blues player needs, but also how to fit it all together as a self-accompanied solo. From scale-runs and double-stops to strings bends and passing chords, these ingenious studies have got the lot! Supported by a full CD of demonstrations to help you capture that magical blues phrasing.
