Product Description
Open-flat spiral blues instruction book and CD by Larry McCabe
Red Dog Music Books is proud to offer this superb collection of 101 authentic urban blues turnaround licks for electric guitar playing in blues bands.
Each lick is written in notation and tablature, and recorded on the companion CD.
A turnaround lick is one that is played in the last two bars of of chord progression; for example measures 11-12 in a twelve-bar blues. The 101 authentic blues turnarounds in this book are in the Chicago, or urban, blues style popularized by Muddy Waters, Howlin Wolf, and carried on by Eric Clapton and Stevie Ray Vaughan.
Each lick can be applied to thousands of real urban blues and rock blues songs.
The material is suitable for an ambitious beginner, early-intermediate player, blues band guitarist reference, or pro reference. It is an indispensible book filled with useful information.
The book is supplemented with lessons/discussions on the following: Typical blues progression; Turnaround licks and progressions (defined); Typical blues turnaround chord progressions; The 12/8 blues shuffle; Creative projects for the music student; Additional blues progressions.
Best of all, this innovative Red Dog Music book from veteran author Larry McCabe costs less than one private music lesson!
