BLUES RHYTHM GUITAR
MASTER CLASS
The Complete Guide to Shuffles, Boogies, Jump, Slow Blues, and Other Blues Styles
by Keith Wyatt



Introduction
The heart of blues lies in the rhythm. Rhythm is not just a back-up part; it's the essential
glue that ties everything together, from the underlying beat of the drums to the vocals and
solos. With a great rhythm feel, you don't need much else. Conversely, without a great rhythm
feel, nothing else amounts to much. Ever since electricity unleashed the guitar as a blues solo
instrument, players have tended to focus the bulk of their time and effort on developing the
guitar's single-note voice, but two facts about guitar playing can't be ignored: First, most of
your career as a player is spent backing somebody up. Second, your solos will always be
inspired, or limited, by your sense of rhythm. Any attempt to separate great blues guitar playing
into "licks" and "rhythm" is ultimately meaningless-neither B.B. King nor Albert King play
many chords, but their phrasing is profoundly rhythmic. At the other extreme, you won't hear
many solos on a John Lee Hooker record, but he built an entire career on a distinctive rhythm
style. After a century of blues-guitar history, it's still the rhythm that holds it all together.
This book is specifically focused on blues rhythm guitar, but the principles of rhythmic
phrasing (e.g., how to capture a drum beat on the guitar, how to break down chords into
usable fragments, and how to mesh with other musicians) go beyond blues-specific vocabulary;
they apply to any groove or musical style. The blues developed during a period of time
in which the dance rhythms of American popular music were almost universally based on the
eighth-note triplet shuffle, and the bulk of this book is devoted to playing that rhythm at various
tempos. For decades, though, artists have been blending blues with other dance
grooves, from funk and R&B to Latin, rock, and disco. (Stevie Ray Vaughan made his debut
on a David Bowie dance-pop record, after all). Today, it's rare to find a blues band that doesn'
t incorporate a variety of grooves in its set, but the feel of the shuffle is still at the heart of it
all. In the end, this book is for anyone who wants to become a better guitar player-period.

How to Get the Most Out of This Book
To get started, you need to at least know the following:
1. The names of the notes on the sixth and fifth strings.
2. How to play major, minor, and dominant seventh chords in both open and barre chord
(movable) voicings.

If you don't have this knowledge under your fingers yet, practically any beginner guitar
method will provide it. (Check out Guitar Basics, by Bruce Buckingham [MI Press/Hal
Leonard], in particular). You might also want to pick up a basic theory book that explains
chord and scale construction (why a ninth chord is called a ninth chord, how scale tones are
numbered, and so on). A good (and admittedly biased) recommendation is Harmony and
Theory: The Essential Guide, by Keith Wyatt and Carl Schroeder (MI Press/Hal Leonard).
If you're a beginning guitar player or new to playing blues, Chapters 1 and 2 cover the
fundamentals of blues rhythm and chords. If you're a more advanced player or you want to
concentrate on expanding your blues rhythm vocabulary, you may want to start from Chapter
3, or just browse through the chapters and listen to the CD until something catches your
attention. The material is not arranged from "easy" to "difficult"-at any point along the way
you may find things that are challenging to your brain and to either, or both, hands. What I've
attempted to do is to break blues rhythm playing into segments, so that by learning how different
rhythm patterns are developed and how they relate to the other instruments in the
band, you can learn to create your own parts.

Levenson Barry, EXCITING CONCEPTS FOR BLUES GUITAR SOLOING. Esempi di blues nello stile di Buddy Guy, B.B. King, Stevie Ray Vaughan, e relative basi. CD TAB.

Exciting Concepts for Blues Guitar Soloing by Barry Levenson, is an exciting Blues guitar method (with both music notation and tablature) that explores the techniques found in great Blues soloing. The 14 solos contained in this book comprise some of the greatest "licks" in blues guitar playing. The solos include the playing styles of B.B. King, Buddy Guy, T-Bone Walker, Stevie Ray Vaughan & Hubert Sumlin. The book also comes with a detailed text that analyzes each solo in depth and provides today's Blues guitar improviser with all the tools needed for creating their own melodic and harmonic solos. The book gives insight into such concepts as: phrasing, outlining chord structure, target notes, bending techniques, advanced position playing and motific development. The CD is recorded with rhythm backing tracks with and without the solo. Barry has released his own CD called "Heart To Hand". So many people seem to take a lot of time to nurture their chops carefully to bring themselves to the precipice of being able to really blow and have fun, but then for whatever reason can't get past the blues box thing, and end up constantly repeating themselves, bored with their playing, and don't continue to grow as improvisers.

Barry Levenson is the lead guitarist for the world famous blues/rock/boogie band Canned Heat.
