This Beginner/Intermediate level package presents an introduction to playing Blues & Jazz including Gospel, Latin, New Age & Rock influences.

  • 12 bar Blues progression,
  • Walking & boogie woogie bass lines,
  • Triplet rhythms,
  • Arpeggios,
  • Blues notes,
  • Blues scale
Also included in the book are sections on note & rhythm reading skills as well as chord structures.

Blues is the basis of most Contemporary styles of music and hence this would be a great starting point to develop these styles. Recorded at normal & slow tempos.

Customer Comments About This Book:

Hello Andrew Gordon, While in Michigan for Thanksgiving I purchased your book "Outstanding Blues and Jazz Compositions for Piano/Keyboards" at Elderly Music in Lansing. The book was published in 1990. Thanks for having the generosity and patience to teach. The book actually begins at my level ! and I am having a great time with it. Tonight as I plowed through tedious scales and arpeggios, I kept our friend George Harrison in mind. Best regards, Elizabeth
