For many students that come from a classical background it is a difficult transition to learn to play Blues & Jazz.

Andrew's idea for this book is to create phrases or riffs over two measures of various Blues progressions. He sub-divided each of the 12 Bar Blues progressions used in this book (the chord progression for Watermelon Man is a 16 measure progression) into six sections (two measures each) and within each of the six sections created four different phrases or riffs so that the student has a choice of four different phrases to play over every two measures. They can then create a solo based on which phrase they choose for each two measures.

Each of the ten examples are based on common Jazz/Blues chord progressions from Jazz songs such as Watermelon Man, Blue Monk, Tenor Madness, Route 66, Blue Trane, Bag's Groove starting off with basic I-IV-V chords and increasing in complexity throughout the book.
There are over 200 phrases/riffs from that can be applied to many types of jazz songs.

 The package includes:
    Book or PDF file
    30 audio tracks to play on your CD player or computer
    Over 200 mp3 files
    Over 200 MIDI files
