Levenson Barry, EXCITING CONCEPTS FOR BLUES GUITAR SOLOING. Esempi di blues nello stile di Buddy Guy, B.B. King, Stevie Ray Vaughan, e relative basi. CD TAB.

Exciting Concepts for Blues Guitar Soloing by Barry Levenson, is an exciting Blues guitar method (with both music notation and tablature) that explores the techniques found in great Blues soloing. The 14 solos contained in this book comprise some of the greatest "licks" in blues guitar playing. The solos include the playing styles of B.B. King, Buddy Guy, T-Bone Walker, Stevie Ray Vaughan & Hubert Sumlin. The book also comes with a detailed text that analyzes each solo in depth and provides today's Blues guitar improviser with all the tools needed for creating their own melodic and harmonic solos. The book gives insight into such concepts as: phrasing, outlining chord structure, target notes, bending techniques, advanced position playing and motific development. The CD is recorded with rhythm backing tracks with and without the solo. Barry has released his own CD called "Heart To Hand". So many people seem to take a lot of time to nurture their chops carefully to bring themselves to the precipice of being able to really blow and have fun, but then for whatever reason can't get past the blues box thing, and end up constantly repeating themselves, bored with their playing, and don't continue to grow as improvisers.

Barry Levenson is the lead guitarist for the world famous blues/rock/boogie band Canned Heat.

MOCK DON, MOCK'S MODAL MOJO. CD TAB.

CATEGORY: Guitar Method or Supplement
FORMAT: Book & CD

Modal Mojo is an in-depth and complete lesson on modes for modern guitarists. With its 84-page book, and over eight hours of audio instruction, demonstration, and play-along tracks, this is truly one of the most complete studies of the modes available for players of any level. Mock includes etudes and rhythm examples for each mode as he takes you step-by-step through all 28 modal grooves. He demonstrates the use of arpeggios, sequences, intervals, chromatics, and optional scales to make your modal improvising more melodic and interesting. The book also features a special Resource Section, which illustrates the best scale patterns for the modes and important modal chord substitution concepts.

The 28 play-along grooves are performed live by guitarist Don Mock, bassist Steve Kim, and drummer Dave Coleman, and cover all the common and not-so-common Dominant 7th, Major and Minor modes. The tracks are creative real-world performances with dynamic and color changes, which can inspire new ideas from the practicing musician. The trio performs the grooves using contemporary jazz, Latin, fusion, and rock feels in various tempos and keys. Not only are the play-along grooves a valuable resource for developing improvisational skills, but also offer a wealth of ideas for rhythm and comping.
