50 Blues Rhythms You Must Know DVD
This DVD is meant to help blues players expand their rhythm vocabulary. If you’ve ever joined a blues jam, the rhythm parts that you can do is quite limited to the typical blues progression, and because of this limitation, it can be quite repetitive. This DVD will help freshen up your blues jams by providing 50 blues rhythm ideas.
It also features 40 different rhythmic and chord voicing approaches for the 12-bar blues, all demonstrated by Corey Congilio in the same key for continuity purposes. These rhythm and voicing variations will help keep your blues jams more interesting, and it will give you a better understanding of blues song structures, which will indirectly result in better more thought out solos.
