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.
