Beyond the Box (book/CD)

Publisher: Cherry Lane Music
Expand Your Blues/Rock Guitar Soloing
Series: Guitar Educational

Break out of your blues rut and think beyond the box! If your blues solos are stuck in the box, literally and figuratively, this book will take your soloing to a fresh, new place. Buzz Feiten teaches you how to break beyond the tried-and-true and stretch the familiar by crafting blues solos with an emphasis on variations in harmony, rhythm, melody, tone, and dynamics. The blues solo is approached like a story, with a beginning, a development, and an end, with instruction on how to build each section.

The CD includes recorded demonstrations by Buzz Feiten of every example, plus slowed-down versions of each solo and five jam tracks.
