There are five sections broken down into: Basic Blues riffs RB influenced Blues riffs Boogie Woogie Rock influenced Blues riffs Gospel influenced Blues riffs The 12 bar Blues progression and the Blues scale are explained.

Many people have commented that this is the best Blues keyboard product that they have ever used.

A must for all levels of keyboardists that want to study the blues.

All 100 riffs are recorded with the piano right hand on the right channel and the piano left hand on the left channel along with a drum track.

Learn how your favorite Blues keyboardists play including Dr.

John, Leon Russell, Chuck Leavell, Jimmy Yancey, Meade Lux Lewis, Otis Spann, Nicky Hopkins and many more Customer Comments I have bought many products published by Andrew Gordon.

Among the many wonderful qualities this book has, one that I particularly like is the way that Mr.

Gordon for making these materials accessible to us.

The joy I have gotten from these materials is immeasurable.

This is perfect for anyone who has an interest in developing their blues skills.
