Ce recueil n'est pas un ouvrage théorique de plus. Son but est de vous faire pénétrer concrètement, à travers quelques exemples, dans le domaine de l'improvisation blues . J'ai choisi volontairement des morceaux dont les harmonies sont simples, dans lesquels les basses, jouées par le pouce, ont, comme dans beaucoup de Blues acoustiques, une fonction plus rythmique qu'harmonique. Ceci n'est plus étranger à tous ceux qui connaissent mon premier recueil Le Blues Acoustique (chez le même Éditeur). Mon propos est, ici, de vous faire découvrir la possibilité d'improviser en utilisant la technique du Finger Picking , de vous donner quelques clés pour pénétrer plus avant dans le vaste monde du Blues . Avec ce recueil, un CD est à votre disposition. Ecoutez-le attentivement pour vous imprégner de la musique. On ne peut bien jouer que ce qui chante dans notre tête. Les morceaux sont d'abord interprétés à la vitesse normale, puis à la suite, j'ai enregistré lentement les passages où se présentent les principales difficultés. Dans les partitions, ces passages sont indiqués en grisé. J'espère que cela vous aidera dans la mise en place des morceaux et que vous éprouverez en les jouant le même plaisir que j'ai eu à les jouer pour vous.
