Blues Piano 1

Tim Richards introduces the harmonic, rhythmic and melodic aspects of the Blues. Here are over 60 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.
