General

Divided over three sections, this book starts by introducing students to the many different incarnations of the twelve-bar Blues, including the Slow Change, the Quick Change, the Five Chord Blues, and the Jazz Blues.

Rhythm Chords

In the next section, students are taught the full array of essential rhythm chords and voicings, or chord-inversions, that every guitarist needs to know. And, once they have these voicings under their fingers, they'll be fully prepared to back up any ensemble, from small combos, all the way up to big bands.

Theory in Practice

The third section starts putting theory into practice, showing how twelve-bar Blues chord progressions can be applied to various arrangements. Everything from straight-up three-chord blues to more advanced Jazz is covered, making this book accessible to guitarists of all levels.
