Blues Guitar: Introduction to Acoustic Blues - Tapa blanda

The purpose of this book is to present a primary introduction for the early intermediate player to acoustic blues guitar. Through instructional text and actual songs, the author covers blues in five different keys and positions and shows how they can be adapted to any key. Along with the basic blues rhythms and leads, fingerstyle blues is covered, using both an alternating and monotone bass. The author also touches on the specific techniques of various well-known players, open tuning, and bottleneck guitar. The accompanying cassette tape includes each example and every song, most of which are played in slow speed and at regular tempo.
