Blues-Part I - Call and Response

"Blues Part 1 Call and Response"

This class is just what I was looking for, some great ideas to add to my blues and jazz vocabulary. The call and response concept makes these ideas perfect for playing with a bass player. But many of the lines are punctuated with chord "hits" enabling the combination of single note and chord punctuation to stand alone. The lines are tasty, bluesy, and authentic. The focus is mainly on the key of F and Bb, which gives the student the opportunity to see cool ideas in different positions. The accompanying tab is accurate and the course is laid out with easier ideas first and then moving to more challenging phrases involving syncopation, triplets, chordal movement, thirds, sixths, octaves, etc. Steve is a wonderful teacher. He moves the class along at a good pace with thorough explanations. Lots of great material in this course! Thank you Steve!

"Great"

The best blues class on internet today! <br /> <br /> These elegant ideas can make your blues soloing very attractive to the listeners.. the class well presented and supported by very useful reading material.<br /> <br /> Worth all the money invested.<br /> <br /> Thanks, Steve!<br /> <br />

I am totally pleased by this class. The subject here is one of the few things that I think I was already pretty good at, but Steve took the subject to even higher boundaries. Even if you think this type of phrasing is familiar, he gives so many ideas to make it fresh, that it is well worth your time and money investment. While watching, I was thinking of so many ideas from the &quot;Shout Chorus&quot; and the &quot;Altered Dominant/Melodic Minor Sounds&quot; classes that could be used in this type of phrasing, so you realize that even familiar ideas can be opened up in a myriad of ways. &quot;Call&quot; with the blues scales, loud/picking by neck; &quot;Response&quot; with altered dominant lines/quiet/picking by bridge/2-line counterpoint.......Steve makes the familiar seem fresh. Like Kenny Burrell meets Jimmy Wyble.Now add some Lage Lund and have fun. I am.
