For that you need to learn about structure rhythm arpeggios scales chromaticapproaches ... in sum to get to know blues by delving into it! The DVD included in the tutorial offers you the possibility to mindfully observe all 50 basslines â?? first at actual playing speed then at a slower speed. This again gives you the opportunity to closely follow the movement of the hands to choose the right fingerings and keep a steady beat(!) For its part the MP3 CD is composed of as many backing tracks as there are basslines in the tutorial; the 50 backing tracks are recorded at two different tempi: the intended tempo (actual playing speed) and the rehearsal tempo (slower speed). On the backing track at actual playing speed the bass is only present during the first round then it disappears yielding the floor to you. The backing tracks provided here are of an appropriate length (about 4 to 5 minutes each which sums up to almost 7h of musical practice). This means that you have enough time at your disposal to practice under the best conditions.
