Comprehensive blues techniques for the purist - a real gem!,
By tklindt (oakland, ca) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Blues, Boogie and Barrelhouse Piano Workbook (Paperback)
I just completed a class from Mr. Blumenfeld himself on blues piano techniques. I highly recommend his instruction and this book. The book is a comprehensive analysis of blues piano techniques, in highly readable and enlightening form, with a lot of interesting illustrative detail. There are numerous examples, exercises, and short compositions illustrating techniques for right and left hands, such as chord and blues scale bass lines, rocking chords, glissandos, repeated and grace notes, etc. There is an extensive song bibliography with examples of specific techniques from early to mid-century blues pianists. Any level of player can benefit from this book!
Note that this is strictly blues - the techniques covered are basic blues styles, not jazz.
