One of the Best Blues Instruction Books,
By Will H. "Will H." (Overland Park, KS USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Beginning Blues Keyboard (Book & CD) (Complete Blues Keyboard Method) (Paperback)
This is one of the best beginning blues instruction books I've found. It teaches a bit of blues theory and provides the basic framework for the blues, but Tricia also provides the beginner with a few blues tunes to play. You can find books with advanced blues songs (from established performers) and you can find books with blues "riffs"....but you won't find many bookes for beginners that have good sounding, playable, blues tunes. Ms. Woods delivers on all fronts.

Blues Piano,
By IDP "Ian" (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Beginning Blues Keyboard (Book & CD) (Complete Blues Keyboard Method) (Paperback)
I'm new to the piano but not to music (guitar). I can read music (a little... but not in 'real time'). This book is excellent. It keeps the techinical music score to a minimum but still gets across the basic of the Blues plus loads of tricks that can be strung together when improvising (as you'd expect). This the way I taught myself rock / blues guitar and it suits me... learn the basics (chords, structures), learn some sacles and add on a few finishing touches. Perfect!

This review is from: Beginning Blues Keyboard (Book & CD) (Complete Blues Keyboard Method) (Paperback)
Was recommended by a piano teacher as a beginners lesson book. Has scales and fingerings and teaches chord progressions, seventh chords, styles of blues.. good early music reading and lessons without having to go the classical route! Inspires improvisation. Highly recommend.
