RobinsonThis book introduces the fundamentals of blues chords and basic 12-bar progressions. It is on the beginner side; and while it provides a great basic course on blues styles and chords; it doesnt pay much attention to rhythm patterns; and theory is given out in small doses.The book has progressions in different keys to get you going with a variety of styles; including your basic slow blues; shuffle rhythms; swing boogie; riff blues and some cool jazz stuff; etc. Most examples are moveable chords; so it gets you playing all over the neck. The explanations are low key but pretty good; pointing out info on the sounds and tonality of the different chords; and some advice on getting a good sound. There are also sections including some generic but cool turnarounds and intros; and a couple pages about soloing. Dont think youll be blazing open mic night after this book; but you will have a good foundation in chords and 12-bar progressions.
