Last stop: Memphis, 1993. Texas bluesman Albert Collins was appropriately known as "the Iceman" or "the master of the Telecaster," and had a well-earned reputation for stopping listeners cold in their tracks. With a chilling ice-pick attack, he gained wide recognition among blues fans and guitar players alike via his namesake instrumental, "Frosty," in 1962. There are numerous versions of "Frosty" in the Collins catalog-this one significant for several reasons. Recorded in May 1993, it is from his last studio album, Collins Mix, and features a guest appearance by B.B. King-one of only two historic pairings of Collins and King on record. The session came about as a result of swapping favors. While in town, Albert sat in with B.B. on his Blues Summit album and, in return, asked King to perform on his record. What we get is a spirited and inspired romp through the Iceman's classic blues tune with remarkable guitar work by both players. "Frosty" is an uptempo 12-bar blues in D. Albert takes the head A and first two solo choruses B and C, followed by B.B. for two D and E.Albert returns with one more chorus F to close out the section with authority. The alternating solos provide a fascinating study of Collins's and King's individual styles. Both swing unbelievably. Collins has a snappy, rhythmic-based style, plays aggressively-slightly ahead or on top of the beat-with a piercing tone, and consistently employs a slick variant of the standard minor pentatonic scale. Found throughout the head and solos, it involves replacing the 7th of the minor pentatonic (C) with the major 6th (B). "Albert's 0 minor pentatonic" is then spelled D-F-G-A-B. This lends a jazzy, diminished sound to the arpeggio lines he favors over the typical pentatonic scale licks of most blues guitarists. The trill figures in measures 17 and 33-34 and the repeating bend passages in measures 23-24 and 61-64 are definitive Albert Collins stylistic traits. By contrast, King plays with a more relaxed-majestic-rhythmic approach and a fatter Lucille (ES-355) tone. Spurred on by "Frosty's" cool environment, he also incorporates the 6th into his minor pentatonic phrases. Notice also the frequent inclusion of the ninth (E) in his lines in measures 37-42 and 49-51. A high point is the energetic, raked arpeggio riff in measures 53-55. He climbs into the "B.B. box" in measures 58-60 to wrap up his solo on a decisive note. Albert Collins had an utterly unique sound and style made from an uncommon combination of ingredients. He tuned his Tele up to an open F minor chord (from low to high: F-C-F-Ab-C-F) [Ed. note: Both fingerings are presented in the Signature Licks music. TAB below Albert Collins' lines includes two staves: one in standard tuning and the second in Fm capoed at the ninth fret.], always used a capo (generally at the ninth fret), and hung his guitar off his right shoulder. He picked exclusively with his fingers for a variety of attacks, nuances, and dynamics. Albert's trademark guitar was a blonde, maple-neck '61 Telecaster with a humbucking neck pickup. He had been playing them since 1952, when "Gate mouth" Brown first turned him on to it, and was one of the first blues legends to playa modified Tele. Collins plugged into mid-70s Fender 4x12 Quad Reverb combo amps-each essentially a "100-watt stack in a box."

This book is a trip-literally. It's your ticket to witness the evolution of modern blues guitar from its early jump-style swing and Delta-based roots to its urban, electrified incarnations via an essential collection of indispensable classic songs. We'll be visiting both the innovators and their gifted disciples, and making stops all over the blues map in Chicago, Memphis, Texas, the West Coast, London, and even Japan. With the music and accompanying audio, it's also your ticket to hear, feel, and play-to experience-the exciting world of blues guitar first-hand. The guitar tradition in blues was begun by such artists as Charley Patton, Son House, Bukka White, Mississippi John Hurt, and particularly Robert Johnson-all of whom were acoustic players and proved influential to the succeeding generations of electric blues guitarists and even the rock players to follow (Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler, and many others). The electric guitar entered the blues picture in the late thirties with musicians like Charlie Christian, Eddie Durham, and Lonnie Johnson. The first modern postwar blues guitarist was T-Bone Walker, an innovator who simultaneously defined the sound and approach of electric blues guitar and inspired and presaged the work of B.B. King, Albert King, Buddy Guy, Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and all to follow. This book is dedicated to a select handfull of the plugged-in innovators and pioneers of the blues-as well as the countless other performers which by their inclusion would necessitate more than ten such volumes. After you rummage through these goodies, be sure to check out the work of other giants like Elmore James, Jimmy Reed, Lightnin' Hopkins, Magic Sam, J.B. Lenoir, Johnny Winter, Lowell Fulsom, Earl King, Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown, Pat Hare, Wayne Benett, Peter Green, Bonnie Raitt, Johnny Copeland, and Robert Cray ...hmmm, maybe in volume two? It's a never-ending process, and aren't we glad. As you will see, blues is a tradition with each successive generation building and elaborating on the accomplishments of their forebears. To place yourself in the blues picture, it is highly recommended that you begin to improvise your own variations as soon as possible. Learn the basics from the printed music and TAB and listen carefully to the audio right side to learn the original guitar parts. Then turn your balance to full left to select the rhythm section only, close your eyes, open your heart and bare your soul-and play the blues.

A compact disc is available with each book of this series. Using these discs will help make learning more enjoyable and the information more meaningful. The CD will help you to play the correct notes, rhythms and feel of each example. The track numbers below the symbols correspond directly to the example you want to hear. Track 1 will help you tune to this CD.

To become a better blues guitar player, you need to spend some serious time "learning the moves" -the techniques that blues guitarists employ and the little tricks of the trade that make them sound so good. This book is fJled with exercises that can help you with specific technical problems.
The exercises presented in this book cover all the important blues guitar techniques, such as string bending, pentatonic scales, hammer-ons and pull-offs, double stops, barre chords, advanced chords, pedal-steel tricks, blues changes, and there is even a chapter on slide guitar playing. There are also lots of exercises designed solely to train your fretting-hand fingers to act independently, which is not something they do naturally.
We also cover the picking hand in this book. Alternate picking exercises and pick-and-fingers techniques are examined in detail. Also, there is an extensive look at chords-the best ones to use, how to easily move from one to another, the most common sets of strings on which chords are played, how to recognize when to use anchor fingers and how to employ devices such as harmonics. Technical training is challenging, and may even seem somewhat daunting. But with application on your part, and a willingness to work at each exercise until it is mastered and understood, you will become a much better player. All the exercises follow the philosophical principle of "Occam's Razor," which says that the easiest, simplest way to do things is generally the best way. If you don't like the fingerings I've used, don't use them. But I think they are the easiest and if you give them a chance, you'll probably come to see why rchose them.
There may be some symbols you have not seen before:

I) = Extension 1. Extend (reach) your first finger out of position one fret, but do not move your hand out
of position.

4) = Extension 4. Same as extension 1, except with your 4th finger
I hope this book helps you play cleaner, faster and with better articulation. The goal, as always, is no mistakes. See you at the gig.

Buck Brown knows that guitar playing is the "real job" his mom always told him to get. In the past 35 years, he has been fortunate to play with such great artists as Nils Lofgren, Tony Trischka, Stacy Phillips, Dave Hamburger, Robert Lee Castleman, Mark Egan and all ot the incredible teachers at the National Guitar Workshop (where he taught from 1984 to 1991). Buck has written ten National Guitar Workshop publications (under the name Robert Brown) including Chord ConnectwrlJ, his masterwork on guitar harmony.
As a composer, he has written music for innumerable episodes ofAmerua J MOJt Wanted, has won an Emmy Award in Cleveland, a Bronze Medal at the New York Film Festival and has been nominated twice tor Helen Hayes Awards in Musical Theatre. When he is not on the road, Buck plays and teaches in Washington, D.C., is married to the fabulous chanteuse Rebecca Davis, uves with three dogs, bats right, throws right and plays loud.

Great musical ideas need great chops to back them up. Build your finger strength, flexibility and independence with these exercise books from one of America's leading guitar schools.
Each book addresses skills needed for a specific style. For example, Jazz Chops covers the finger independence needed for smooth, rapid changes between complex jazz chords in the context of important progressions, such as ii-V-I. Blues Chops has exercises for developing bending, the different shuffle rhythm patterns, turnarounds, blues trills and more.
Rock Chops deals with all the important soloing techniques, such as speed picking, sweeping, tapping, harmonics, scale sequencing and so on.
Develop your chops practicing exercises in the style of music you enjoy~or if you are a multi-style guitarist, go through all three!

Inside the blues. E' proprio vero che l'incisivo accompagnamento ritmico della musica blues uscì dai tasti del pianoforte, e che la chitarra poi imitò soltanto? Questa edizione sulle varie forme ritmiche blues, approfondirà le radici delle vostre conoscenze fino ai torrenti sotterranei della regione del Delta, delle aride pianure rocciose del Texas, della polverosa Kansas City, delle foreste di New Orleans, dell'asfalto e delle pozzanghere di Chicago.

Shuffle
1: A dance step of indefinite Southern African-American origin, perhaps dating from the eighteenth century, in which the feet are moved rhythmically across the floor without being lifted (as in a minstrel show-author).

2: A rhythm derived from the dance step. The term is onomatopoeic, "sh" describing its characteristic smoothness (and especially its sound when played on the snare drum). The alternation of long and short syllables (shuffle, shuffle) evokes its distinguishing rhythm, a subdivision of the beat into uneven triplets, which is more specific than the fundamental swing or boogie woogie rhythm only in that it is usually played legato and at a relaxed tempo.

The term "shuffle," as applied to a type of musical rhythm, appeared around 1917. One of the earliest published songs to use it in its title was "Riverboat Shuffle" by Hoagy Carmichael. Though the recorded version by comet legend Bix Beiderbecke and Wolverines (1924) is both hot and cool, the rhythm is pure 4/4 dixieland. In 1921 a musical revue called "Shuffle Along" was produced with music by Eubie Blake and Noble Sissle. It included, but was not restricted to, the shuffle dance step. However, like the multitude of tunes before the mid~thirties that alluded to a "shuffle," the rhythms on parade were in the style of ragtime, dixieland and the blues. A number of rhythmic strains, including one from the unlikeliest of sources, would need to coalesce to create the true shuffle pattern. To trace this development is to traverse the glorious history of the blues and jazz. From the breakdowns, stomps and hollers of the post~Civil War South to the swinging shuffles of Louis Jordan and Tbone Walker in the forties, the accent has been on the body language of rhythm. Boogie woogie music, with its walking and moving bass lines, undoubtedly provided the driving propulsion behind shuffle rhythms. Though associated almost exclusively with the piano and especially its great solo practitioners, it is generally agreed that guitarists laid the groundwork for this blues-based idiom. The anthropologist and writer, Zora Neale Hurston, described the entertainment in the late 1800s juke joints as thus: "One guitar was enough for a dance. To have two was considered excellent. Where two were playing, one man played the lead and the other seconded him. The first player was "picking" and the second was "framming," that is, playing chords while the lead carried the melody by dexterous finger-work. Sometimes a third player was added, and he played a tom-tom effect on the lower strings." As the century wore on, pianos took the place of guitars in the lumber, mining, railroad and turpentine camps. Though it is conjecture, the practicality of employing one musician versus two or three, plus the sheer increase in volume afforded by pianos in rowdy barrelhouses (as opposed to acoustic guitars), makes sense of this change. There is less ambivalence, though, about the music performed. Quite simply, patrons wanted to hear the same raucous, rolling rhythms, so piano players devised left-hand patterns analogous to rhythm guitar parts while embelli hino and oloing with the right.
