The Blues Scale For Guitar by Andrew D. Gordon is an invaluable guide to the blues scale, explaining how it is used to improvise in many styles of contemporary music.Both the Blues scale and relative minor Blues scale are explained in detail, and how they are used either separately or together in the patterns for each style (the relative minor Blues scale is generally not used in minor keys) is discussed. Each of the 20 grooves in this book contains over 150 patterns in total, using notes solely from the blues scale. Each of the 20 grooves utilizes a chord progression that is commonly used for that style of music. The patterns generally start off fairly simply and become more complex as the groove progresses.The audio files contain recordings of all the blues patterns that are notated in the book, recorded along with a rhythm section of Piano, Organ, Guitar, Bass and Drums and, on certain grooves, Percussion. Also included are extended 2-3 minute play-a-long MP3 files of all 20 grooves, enabling you to practice playing the blues patterns or creating your own for an extended period of time. MIDI files are also available. / Guitare

A collection of 23 Celtic songs arranged for Guitar with standard notation and Tab. Includes a comprehensive guide to Flatpicking Celtic style Guitar, and also a CD of examples. For me, playing the Guitar is all about finding pieces of music that you want to play over and over again. I don't know a formula for what makes up a great piece, but I know it when I hear it. A good piece of music is not a page with notes hanging in a museum, it is music you come back to ten years later and love it just as much as you did when you first heard it. Whether it’s a classic piece by O'Carolan, or a traditional piece in the Celtic tradition, that is what I believe you will find inthis book. Quite simply, these are beautiful arrangements of Celtic Music that you will keep you coming back. So if you love playing the guitar, and you are looking for music you will be playing for a lifetime, this is the book for you. Allan Alexander/ Recueil / Guitare

The idea for this book series is to give instrumentalists the opportunity to practice solo improvisational techniques while playing along to rhythm tracks of keyboards, guitar, bass, drums/percussion in various different Latin styles including Calypso, Mambo, Salsa, Songo, Bossa, Guaracha, Samba and Latin-Blues. The 24 grooves totalling over 200 riffs/phrases and play-a-long tracks consists of a variety of tempos and keys. Each groove has a variety of riffs to learn that are generally 4 or 8 measures in length. It would be beneficial if you could memorize these riffs so that you can experiment using different permutations of the riffs as well as being used as a starting off point for one's own improvisations. Each riff has been recorded with a rhythm track with each style having an extended play-a-long track, around 3 minutes in length, recorded without the solo part so you can practice the riffs that you have learned. Also, these musical phrases or riffs may be interchanged from one groove to another and should be learned in as many keys as possible. / Niveau : Intermédiaire / Etude / Guitare
