About Advanced Concepts for Blues Guitar Soloing
By Barry Levenson. For Guitar. Blues. Book with CD. 65 pages.
Welcome to Advanced Concepts for Blues Guitar Soloing the next level up from Barry Levenson's first book Exciting Concepts for Blues Guitar Soloing. In the first book, Barry explored motific development, conceptual playing over chord changes, phrasing, target notes, bending techniques and advanced position playing. In this volume Barry has transcribed ten solos from his Storyville CD's Heart To Hand, Closer to the Blues and Hard Times Won. He has analyzed key concepts and techniques in these solos by isolating specific measures and going into in-depth explanations of the more pertinent concepts that comprise these solos. Also, at the end of the book Barry have included a brief discography of CDs and/or songs that will help shed light on these concepts. The solos are the result of all the years of playing, learning, studying, and more playing. Barry hopes that they can be useful in some small way to help others to find their own means of self-expression. Barry Levenson is the lead guitarist for the world famous blues/rock/boogie band Canned Heat.

Introduction
Hello everyone, welcome to my new blues instructional book, Advanced Concepts for Blues Guitar Soloing. First I would like to thank everyone for the gratifying response to the first book, Exciting Concepts for Blues Guitar Soloing.
In the first book we explored motific development, conceptual playing over chord changes, phrasing, target notes, bending techniques and advanced position playing.

In this volume I have transcribed ten solos from my Storyville CD's Heart To Hand, Closer to the Blues and Hard Times Won. I have analyzed key concepts and techniques in these solos by isolating specific measures and going into in-depth explanations of the more pertinent concepts that comprise these solos. Also, at the end of the book I have included a brief discography of CDs and/or songs that will help shed light on these concepts.
Once again I'd like to thank Andrew D. Gordon for his help and encouragement.

About the Solos
The solos transcribed in this book encompass my thirty-year love affair with one of America' s greatest musical forms. When I was fifteen years old somebody played me Buddy Guy's A lvfan and the Blues. From that moment on, I was hooked. I searched out as many blues records as I could afford and sat down and wore the skin off my fingers trying to learn them. This is a story that countless other musicians can tell, with slight variations, nothing so special about mine. But it certainly gave me a beautiful focus and theme that has been the center of my life.
These solos are the result of all my years of playing, learning, studying, and more playing. I hope that they can be useful in some small way to help others to find their own means of selfexpression.
This is my small way of paying back a very large debt.

The Three T's
Touch, Tone, Taste.
Here are some thoughts on finding your own individual style through the medium of blues guitar.
The Three T's, touch, tone and taste, could be essential concepts for your musical selfexpreSSIOn. Touch is almost self-explanatory. The way your fingers connect with the strings, how hard and soft you pick, do you pick with your fingers or just the pick or a combination of the two? Picking up near the bridge creates a harder, more trebly sound. Picking near the neck creates a softer, bassier sound. In the middle, creates more of a mid-range type of tone. All places where the right hand can pick should be experimented with to find different sources of expression. Do you use a hard, soft or medium pick? This is another element that contributes to your touch. Don't be afraid to experiment until you find what's right for you. A good way to start is to listen to a player that really moves you and explore their touch. If it works for you, you can incorporate it into your playing. All these things come into play when you are trying to express yourself through wood, wires and tubes.
I think it is important to remember that the amplifier is just what it says. It amplifies the sound of your touch. B.B. King once stated, "My volume control is in my right hand." You can project a considerable amount of volume with a not-very-loud amplifier by picking or plucking the string with authority. Picking lightly with a loud amplifier, in my opinion, does not give a strong, authoritative sound.

Think of your right hand as a dynamic/volume control. Tum your amplifier on at approximately
3. See what a volume difference you can generate by picking extremely quietly and shifting to
picking with force.
Some great players to listen to for their touch are obviously the great B.B. King whose use of rakes, trills and vibrato give him one of the world's most recognizable sounds. Charlie Christian's barely amplified but forcefully played electric guitar was one of the most expressive sounds in guitar history. Wes Montgomery's incredible right-hand thumb gave him an unparalleled sound. It's all in the touch of the hands, not so much the amplifier. These great players gave every note its own treatment as they strive to express their soul and musicality through the instrument.

Also, in your arsenal of touch should be the mastery of left hand vibrato, hammer-ons, pull-offs, slides, slurs, rakes and harmonics. Most of these terms are self-explanatory to most guitar players, but many are overlooked when it comes time to plug in and play! Try playing a simple blues phrase of five or six notes and see how many colors and articulations you can add to the lick through the use of the above techniques.
All these things contribute to an individualistic sound. By experimenting with just your guitar and no amp, you will start to develop your own touch. Sometimes your playing can be covered up by volume from the amplifier. The greatest players are expressive at ANY volume.

How to Use This Book

1. Listen to the solo at least five times to familiarize yourself with the music.

2. Learn the music slowly, a few bars at a time while listening to the CD for an.: articulations such as bends, vibrato, slurs, hammer-ons, pull-offs, etc.

3. Work out any technical difficulties such as fingerings, picking, speed, etc., you might encounter before moving on to a new measure.

4. After each section is mastered, play the complete piece at a comfortable tempo.

5. Play the solo, note for note, along with the CD, paying careful attention to phrasing.

6. Play along with the rhythm track minus the solo guitar that is provided after each sample.

7. When you feel you can duplicate the solo comfortably, study the solo analysis that accompanies certain measures.

8. Get familiar with the explanation of terms at the end of the book.

9. Take a lick and play it using different articulations, i.e., hammer-ons, pull-offs, slurs, vibrato, etc.

10. Play the licks at different places on the neck (I know this is difficult but it really helps in developing your knowledge of the fingerboard).

11. This is one of my favorite ways of studying solos or licks. Take a lick and change one or
two notes to make it fit different chords.

A Word About Written Notation
Because of the complex and varied rhythms involved in blues phrasing, the fact that many blues phrases "fall between the cracks" as opposed to being on the beat and the different ways rhythms can be notated, some of the examples in this book may at first seem difficult to read. Careful listening to the recording that accompanies the text should solve any problems that may arise in understanding the written music.

The years 1945-1965 saw a radical and exciting shift in American popular music. Blues and swing jazz helped to produce a new musical form called rhythm and blues, which in turn set in motion the development of soul and funk, not to mention rock 'n' roll. What united these genres was an emphasis on the beat, or the groove, over the melody that would culminate in the syncopated monochord workouts of funk. Along the way, some of the greatest electric guitarists of the postwar years explored the boundaries of the new instrument with a rich array of hot licks. This book/CD pack explores everything from the swinging boogie of Tiny Grimes, to the sweaty primal funk of Jimmy Nolen, to the styles of Mickey Baker, Billy Butler, Steve Cropper, Cornell Dupree, Jerry Jemmott, Curtis Mayfield, Ike Turner and everyone in between. Includes in-depth lessons, historical analysis, rare photos, and a CD with 33 full-band tracks. 88 pages.

A compact disc is available with each book of this series. Using these discs will help make learning more enjoyable and the information more meaningful. The CD will help you to play the correct notes, rhythms and feel of each example. The track numbers below the symbols correspond directly to the example you want to hear. Track 1 will help you tune to this CD.

To become a better blues guitar player, you need to spend some serious time "learning the moves" -the techniques that blues guitarists employ and the little tricks of the trade that make them sound so good. This book is fJled with exercises that can help you with specific technical problems.
The exercises presented in this book cover all the important blues guitar techniques, such as string bending, pentatonic scales, hammer-ons and pull-offs, double stops, barre chords, advanced chords, pedal-steel tricks, blues changes, and there is even a chapter on slide guitar playing. There are also lots of exercises designed solely to train your fretting-hand fingers to act independently, which is not something they do naturally.
We also cover the picking hand in this book. Alternate picking exercises and pick-and-fingers techniques are examined in detail. Also, there is an extensive look at chords-the best ones to use, how to easily move from one to another, the most common sets of strings on which chords are played, how to recognize when to use anchor fingers and how to employ devices such as harmonics. Technical training is challenging, and may even seem somewhat daunting. But with application on your part, and a willingness to work at each exercise until it is mastered and understood, you will become a much better player. All the exercises follow the philosophical principle of "Occam's Razor," which says that the easiest, simplest way to do things is generally the best way. If you don't like the fingerings I've used, don't use them. But I think they are the easiest and if you give them a chance, you'll probably come to see why rchose them.
There may be some symbols you have not seen before:

I) = Extension 1. Extend (reach) your first finger out of position one fret, but do not move your hand out
of position.

4) = Extension 4. Same as extension 1, except with your 4th finger
I hope this book helps you play cleaner, faster and with better articulation. The goal, as always, is no mistakes. See you at the gig.

Buck Brown knows that guitar playing is the "real job" his mom always told him to get. In the past 35 years, he has been fortunate to play with such great artists as Nils Lofgren, Tony Trischka, Stacy Phillips, Dave Hamburger, Robert Lee Castleman, Mark Egan and all ot the incredible teachers at the National Guitar Workshop (where he taught from 1984 to 1991). Buck has written ten National Guitar Workshop publications (under the name Robert Brown) including Chord ConnectwrlJ, his masterwork on guitar harmony.
As a composer, he has written music for innumerable episodes ofAmerua J MOJt Wanted, has won an Emmy Award in Cleveland, a Bronze Medal at the New York Film Festival and has been nominated twice tor Helen Hayes Awards in Musical Theatre. When he is not on the road, Buck plays and teaches in Washington, D.C., is married to the fabulous chanteuse Rebecca Davis, uves with three dogs, bats right, throws right and plays loud.

Great musical ideas need great chops to back them up. Build your finger strength, flexibility and independence with these exercise books from one of America's leading guitar schools.
Each book addresses skills needed for a specific style. For example, Jazz Chops covers the finger independence needed for smooth, rapid changes between complex jazz chords in the context of important progressions, such as ii-V-I. Blues Chops has exercises for developing bending, the different shuffle rhythm patterns, turnarounds, blues trills and more.
Rock Chops deals with all the important soloing techniques, such as speed picking, sweeping, tapping, harmonics, scale sequencing and so on.
Develop your chops practicing exercises in the style of music you enjoy~or if you are a multi-style guitarist, go through all three!
