"30 Cool Ways To Play The Blues" is not really a book about how to play the blues, although the author makes some suggestions about scale options for each tune. Within the pages of this book, you will find some of the great blues chord changes of all time. These blues chord patterns are from the blues, rock, country and jazz idioms. Several of the tunes require jazz chops, but many can be played by instrumentalists that are familiar with only the minor blues scale.
 
This exciting book contains thirty pages of short (1 page) songs, each with just the chord changed noted for the soloist. The accompanying CD (included!) contains recordings of a top-notch rhythm section, playing backing tracks for each of the 30 tunes. You will like this book!
 
This thorough book also includes a seven-page "scale syllabus", containing 84 scales written out in both treble clef and bass clef.
 
About the CD: The accompaniment tracks on this CD are synthesized and do not contain the melody.
