4.0 out of 5 stars
Great Blues Book!,
By Will H. "Will H." (Overland Park, KS USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Exploring Basic Blues for Keyboard (Instructional) (Paperback)
NOTE: Rated 4 stars only because it has no CD or cassette.A VERY good book on blues basics. Boyd takes your thru exercises, theory, and improvisations. The book explores various blues styles from early blues, thru Dixieland,swing, boogie and rock. This is a GREAT book on 12 bar blues style...and if it only had a CD/cassette it would be perfect! NOTE #2: This is probably not a book for total beginners. Without a CD/cassette it can be difficult even for intermediate pianists/keyboarders to understand the "sound" and "shuffle" of some of the riffs/pieces in this book. However if you have access to someone who can play these and let you hear the sound...then even a beginner can get some benefit from this book.
