Apprendre à jouer de la guitare sans passer par la case ?Blues? semble aussi incongru que de vouloir chanter sans même savoir parler. S?agissant d?un passage obligé, la présente méthode vous permet ainsi d?en découvrir tous les contours : structure, accords et rythmes spécifiques ; accompagnements, riffs et rythmiques ; gammes, improvisation et jeu en solo... Pour vous être pleinement profitable, cette méthode est entièrement basée sur la pratique, avec des grilles de Blues complètes (tant pour l?accompagnement que les solos) dans le style des plus grands bluesmen de tous les temps (Otis Rush, B.B. King, Eric Clapton, Freddie King, Buddy Guy, Albert King, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Magic Sam, etc.). Tous les Blues proposés dans la méthode sont joués intégralement sur le DVD, à vitesse réelle puis ralentie, pour vous aider dans leur interprétation. Consacré à la mise en application, le CD MP3 et ses 5 heures de musique, permet pour sa part de jouer chaque Blues sur deux playbacks différents, l?un au tempo réel et l?autre à un tempo plus lent.

Most of these ideas are conceived out of the A minor pentatonic scale or the A blues scale. There are a few exceptions however. Have fun with these classic licks.
