& Jump Blues Guitar
Howdy Partner,
September 2007; version 2.0 of the Swing and Jump Blues Guitar
E-book / mp3 's is out !
After having worked with the material for a number of years I decided to write a load of extra material to complete the course.
Aside from all the material on this website (62 page book/82 mp3's), the extra package contains:
- An additional book of 30 pages with solo's in the style of
Brian Setzer (2x), T-Bone Walker (2x), Freddie King (2x) and
Charlie Christian (2x plus a big chapter on
Charlie's solo principles)
- A comprehesive style analysis of these players and their influence on Jump Blues
- An additional theoretical explanation of II-V-I progressions, major pentatonics and straight time
feel and the use of these principles in Jump Blues with examples
- All examples of Version 1.3 and the Extra Package 2.0 in PowerTabs ! (that's over 100 tabs) ***
- A full cd worth of mp3's with up tempo music-minus-one, so you can solo and improvise in the Jump Blues style with a backing track.
