The years 1945-1965 saw a radical and exciting shift in American popular music. Blues and swing jazz helped to produce a new musical form called rhythm and blues, which in turn set in motion the development of soul and funk, not to mention rock 'n' roll. What united these genres was an emphasis on the beat, or the groove, over the melody that would culminate in the syncopated monochord workouts of funk. Along the way, some of the greatest electric guitarists of the postwar years explored the boundaries of the new instrument with a rich array of hot licks. This book/CD pack explores everything from the swinging boogie of Tiny Grimes, to the sweaty primal funk of Jimmy Nolen, to the styles of Mickey Baker, Billy Butler, Steve Cropper, Cornell Dupree, Jerry Jemmott, Curtis Mayfield, Ike Turner and everyone in between. Includes in-depth lessons, historical analysis, rare photos, and a CD with 33 full-band tracks. 88 pages.

PREFACE
Thehistory of R&B, soul, and funk guitarists has been largely ignored when compared with that of blues guitarists. However, though they have tended to labor in obscurity in the shadow of vocalists, these unsung heroes have contributed significantly to the legacy of postwar electric guitar.
Inasmuch as the three genres have a far more varied selection of rhythmic and harmonic accompaniments than blues, the innovation and creativity has naturally occurred in the realm of backup, rather than soloing. Exceptions to this statement are to be found in the cerebral and emotional soloing of Billy Butler and Cornell Dupree, to name only the most obvious. It should be of interest to guitarists whose ears are mostly attuned to the sound of single-note lines, though, to understand the art form that Curtis Mayfield, Steve Cropper, and Robert Ward have made from the well-placed fill and chordal pattern.
The years 1945-1965 were chosen because it was the era where the most original advances were
made. That is not to say that great guitar music was not made after that date, only that the initial root source of the blues started to diminish in favor of more commercial influences. Perhaps a Volume II will be in order, particularly in the area of seventies funk.
I hope you will enjoy playing this remarkable music as much as I have, and that the history and biographies provide some sense of acknowledgement for the exceptional artists covered.
Dave Rubin New York City, 1999

DEDICATION
Iwould like to dedicate this book to my daughter, Michelle ("Cookie") and my wife, Cheryl.
Without their love and encouragement, I would "have the blues" more than playing and studying them.

An exploration of shuffle, Boogie and Swing rhythms.

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. CD. TABLATURE

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.

As a guitar teacher, I have noticed that many students, from the novice to the advanced, ask similar questions about chords. This book was written in response to those questions. I saw the need for a book that would dig into the "street knowledge" of simple guitar chords: easy chord theory, sweet chord substitution ideas, embellishments for accompaniments, picking and strumming patterns, alternate tunings and many other topics. This book assumes that you already play the guitar and have a basic knowledge of chords, hammer-ons, pull-offs and other basic techniques. There is a quick review of reading standard music notation and TAB, and other concepts are covered as the book continues. If you have gaps in your knowledge, these explanations will help you use the book. The information in this book was acquired by studying the techniques of many great players the world over, as well as by personal trial and error. In order for you to use this information most efficiently, I suggest that you work on a small amount of material at a time. Whether you're a performing songwriter, a band member, an accompanist, a campfire strummer or just a weekend picker, you should grab a few ideas at a time and experiment with them for awhile before you come back for more.
 

This book contains lessons on:

• Easyways to play "hard" chords.

• How to "spice up" open position chords you've played for years.

• How to play those chord embellishments you've heard on recordings for years but never

knew how to play.

• The basic theory of chord progressions.

• An overview of chord families, or which chords go with which keys.

• How best to use a capo.

• Voice leading, or the movement of notes between chords.

• Fingerpicking patterns that will work well in your accompaniments.

• Strumming techniques and styles.

• Chord cadences, or "endings for songs."

• Hammer-on and pull-off licks within chords.

• A quick and easy (but still inspiring) introduction to alternate tunings.

• A guide for accompanists and songwriters.

• An introduction to blues ideas and slide technique.

• Several helpful tunes to play that put the techniques you learn to practical use.

CAGED

Make sure that you know the five chord forms* below before you get started. Together, the names of these chords form the word CAGED. These chord shapes will be fundamental to some ideas that will be covered in this book.

NOTE:

This book is full of great ideas for players of all levels. There are hundreds of examples for strumming and picking. Although some of the music notation and chord diagrams may look difficult, they aren't. Just be patient as you look at each diagram. They are very detailed and descriptive. You'll find the playing is fun and easy. Enjoy!
