30 Cool Ways to Play the Blues [Eb Instruments]

Includes CD

From the Publisher

Tired of the same old unadorned I-IV-V patterns you've been improvising over? You'd be amazed at how far some composers have departed from the basic blues pattern in their compositions. In this book you won't find any melodies; just unique, challenging ways to make you a better improviser using some of the great blues chord changes of all time taken from all kinds of blues, rock, country and jazz idioms.

On the accompanying CD you'll find recorded versions of each tune for you to solo over when working alone or with another person. Now there's an all blues fake book and CD you can use over and over again that will add a whole lot of variety and fun to your jam sessions!
