Inside this book, you'll find an easy-to-read chord chart for each of the songs on the CDs, showing you what chords to play and how long to play them. Each song includes several suggested scale patterns, licks and riffs that fit the progressions. CD 1 contains traditional 12- and 24-bar blues progressions, while CD 2 focuses on the Chicago style and more modern blues sounds. All of these progressions have served as the basis for some of the greatest songs in the history of popular music. All examples are written in standard notation and tablature.
