Tim Richards introduces the harmonic, rhythmic and melodic aspects of the blues - now for the first time in French! The book features over 30 pieces, including well -known favourites such as "Blueberry Hill", "C-Jam Blues", "Back in the Alley" and "See See Rider", together with a number of compositions by the author designed to teach:
• Authentic patterns and bass lines for the left hand
• Professional chord voicings, blues scales, licks and riffs
• Exercises in coordination for both hands
• Suggestions for further listening
Each chapter is arranged in progressive order of difficulty, with a few more demanding pieces towards the end. Improvisation plays an important part throughout the book, with exercises and guidance. The accompanying CD was recorded by Tim Richards and contains all the pieces and play-along tracks for both volumes.
