Both the Blues scale and relative minor Blues scale are explained in detail

style,

Each of the 20 grooves in this book contains over 150 patterns in total,

using notes solely from the blues scale. Each of the 20 grooves utilizes a

chord progression that is commonly used for that style of music. The patterns

generally start off fairly simply and become more complex as the groove

progresses.

The audio files contain recordings of all the blues patterns/solos that are

notated in the book recorded along with a rhythm section of piano, organ,

guitar, bass and drums and on certain grooves percussion. Also included are

extended 2-3 minute play-a-long mp3 files of all 20 grooves enabling you to
