BLUES LEAD GUITAR SOLOS. Wayne Riker CD TABLATURE

BLUES LEAD GUITAR SOLOS. CD TABLATURE

By Wayne Riker. For Guitar. Guitar Method or Supplement. Blues. Book & CD. 96 pages. This book teaches how to organize all your great ideas into power-packed leads by providing a complete analysis of 16 full-length solos. Each one is discussed in detail, covering everything from the particular blues form to the structure and techniques used. Styles include Chicago blues, Delta blues, rock blues, slow blues, "Stormy Monday" style and the minor blues. All 16 solos are performed on the accompanying CD.

Welcome to Blues Lead Guitar Solos. This book pravides a great opportunity for
you to learn how to better structure and shape a blues solo by studying 8- and 12-
bar solos in a variety of keys. Some of these solos extend through two and three
choruses, creating 16-, 24- and 36-bar scenarios. In solos with more than one chorus,
the end of each chorus is marked with a double bar. Eleven blues solo styles,
including Chicago, Delta, rock, slow, "Stormy Monday," minor, funk, jump, jazz and
gospel, are analyzed harmonically, rhythmically and melodically to help you learn to
create a strong musical solo. Make sure to use the accompanying CD to hear the
rhythmic feel, tempo and chord voicings for each example. The CD also includes a
backing track for each solo, allowing you to practice jamming along with the band. At
the back of the book there is a scale glossary and an arpeggio glossary as references
for many of the licks used in these solos and for creating your own.
This book assumes that you are familiar with:
• Reading standard music notation and/ or tablature
• Scales: major, minor, pentatonic and the modes of the major scale
• Blues techniques such as bending, slides, vibrato and so on
• Music theory, including chord construction and diatonic harmony (using
Roman numerals to describe chord progressions, such as I-lV-V)
• Chord extensions and alterations, such Cg or C749
• The most basic blues form, the 12-bar blues.
There is a quick review of reading standard music notation and tablature on the
following four pages (6-9). For basic information about music theory, check out any
or ali of the following books from the National Guitar Workshop and Alfred:
 
Beginning Blues Guitar (Alfred #8230)
Intermediate Blues Guitar (Alfred #8233)
 
Creating a solo is like writing a story. You want to present a thoughtful beginning,
middle and end that tell a tale that will capture the audience's attention. Many of
these solos are compilations of ideas l've generated by listening to players in ali
styles of music. As you compile your own vocabulary of licks, make sure you are
always aware of what chord the lick is being used against. A lick that works well on
the I chord may not work as well over the V chord, and so ono
Apply the ideas in this book along with information fram other sources, such as the
Blues Licks Encyclopedia (Alfred #18503). If you haven't already, start playing with
other musicians. Learning to play strang, musical solos is difficult unless you jam with
other musicians and hear the dynamics of your solo in a graup setting. Jam with a
friend, join a group, attend jam sessions or play along with backing tracks.

HOW TO USE THIS BOOK
Since this book explores a wide variety of blues styles and improvisational ideas, it is not absolutely necessary that you proceed chapter by chapter. However, the book has been organized in a way that progressively adds new terms and information in each chapter. Don't assume you know everything about a subject, even if it's one of your strengths. Everyone approaches the blues from a different perspective, so if one new concept that you learn from this book helps your playing, it's worth it. No book can make you a better player. You have to go out and play to improve. A book can provide new vocabulary that can be added to your musical repertoire. Whether you play informally or professionally, try immediately plugging examples you like into your playing. For the single-note examples, experiment with different phrasing, add your own notes to extend a lick or play the same lick on different string sets. The musical definition section at the beginning of this book should be used as a glossary. Look up any terms or concepts you don't understand. You should read the basic theory section to make sure you have no gaps in your understanding of keys, intervals, harmonized scales, etc. Taking a college level course or obtaining a couple books in theory is a good way of improving your theoretical knowledge. Becoming a good musician as well as a good guitarist is essential, particularly if you are going to play professionally.
