If you’re looking to take your blues guitar playing to the next level, you can do no better than to study tunes by the three greats featured in this collection—Big Bill Broonzy, Scrapper Blackwell, and Lonnie Johnson.
In addition to learning cool licks and riffs, each number provides ample opportunity to expand your musicality with sophisticated use of dynamics, articulations, phrasing, and more.
Instructor Ben Gateno helps you along by performing each tune at speed and slowly, all with clear views of both hands. Ben goes over how to approach each tune and all throughout offers valuable insights on how to practice the music and concepts. At the end you will not only have added to your repertoire, but added further depth and effectiveness to your musicianship as well.
Included are PDFs of note-for-note transcriptions and original recordings in the Bonus Audio section.
