Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An in-depth exploration of the twelve bar blues, from classic R&R grooves to the most Modern Blues and Fusion sounds, following a journey through different comping styles and techniques. I have written this book to provide a variety of comping ideas for blues guitarists of all levels: most of the material comes from my experience in playing countless blues, jazz, and funk gigs, and hours of listening to and transcribing from the classic records, trying, when applicable, to explain everything with simple harmonic concepts. The book includes a recording of all examples in MP3 format, downloadable from the author’s website.
