This book provides a painless introduction to playing blues piano in six styles: Basic Shuffle, Boogie Woogie, Walking Bass, Stride, Jazz, and Rock. It presents the left and right hand parts separately, then throws them together. Each example has two tracks on the CD, with and without the piano part. The left hand parts are quite complete, but the right hand parts are a little thin, leaving out slides, crushed notes and tremelos. However, the backing tracks on the CD are outstanding. Once you master the material in the book, you can reuse the CD backing tracks with licks from other books like David Bennet Cohen's Blues Piano or Mark Harrison's Blues Piano. Had the author included more material, this could be a 5 satr book.

I was dissapointed with this purchase,because the DVD does not work neither on my lap top or the home dvd player.I can hear only the music and words.Is this because it is a foreign dvd? I expected to see a video demonstration.very unhappy will return this product.as it does not work in usa dvd players.

Everything that a budding blues pianist needs in the quest for entertainment mastery. A must for anyone who needs to spice up thier playing.
