Description

This distinctive book and accompanying CD provide essential tools for transforming written music into its intended sound. While sheet music presents the notes, it often falls short in conveying the nuances of performance. Authentic blues playing demands specific techniques that are challenging to notate. The solution lies in integrating note reading with listening to recordings that exemplify the desired sound. The Listen & Play method effectively addresses the common frustration of musicians who wonder why their playing doesn't capture the essence of the blues, despite reading the music correctly. The CD features performances of all examples and tunes, with some pieces played at a slower tempo to facilitate learning.
