Blues music is a sturdy, adaptable music that reflects many shades of emotions and lends itself to numerous stylistic interpretations. This 5 1/2 by 8 'Qwikguide' is designed to help the bassist become more versatile. Each blues Bass pattern in this book is played over four bars of C7. By practicing all 50 licks over the same chord progression, students can learn the basic concept of improvisation: how to play a variety of musical phrases over the same chord or chord changes. Each example is written in both notation and tablature exactly as it is recorded. The accompanying online audio, featuring Larry McCabe 's Heat-Seeking Missile Blues Band is recorded in stereo with Drums and rhythm Guitar in the center, bass Guitar on the left and lead Guitar on the right. The licks are recorded at a moderate tempo for ease of learning. The rhythm Guitar parts heard on the CD are taught in Mel Bay's 101 Bad to the Bone Blues Guitar Rhythm Patterns. The lead Guitar parts are taught in Mel Bay's Famous Blues Guitar Lines.
