Blues Play-A-Long and Solos Collection

With the continued success of The Blues Play-A-Long and Solos Collection for Beginner Series I decided to follow up with a second series for the Intermediate/Advanced musician.

Blues Play-A-Long and Solos Collection for Alto Sax and Eb Instruments Intermediate-Advanced Level

Andrew D. Gordon has created 30; 12bar blues play-a-long backing tracks in various Blues styles, keys and tempos such as: Funky Blues, Boogie Blues, Jazz Blues, Minor Blues, Country Blues, Latin Blues, Old Time Jazz Blues, Jazz Swing Blues, Classic Blues Rock, Soulful Blues, Slow Blues and many more. Each of the 30 play-a-long tracks has been recorded with 10 choruses of the 12 bar blues progression giving you the opportunity practice soloing techniques totaling over 3 hours of music. Each of the 30 Blues styles contains a solo improvisational melody line, 24measures in length, designed for the intermediate-advanced musician in mind as a starting point to create your own improvisational solos.

Each of the 30 Blues tracks have been recorded, first with the solo playing along with the rhythm backing tracks of keyboards, guitar, bass and drums and immediately following, is the play-a-long backing track that cycles through the 12 bar blues progression 10 times, generally between 3-5 minutes in length, giving you plenty of time to practice.

Blues is the basis of many forms of music and these tracks have been specifically created to include styles such as: Jazz, Funk, Folk, Country, Latin, Rock, Gospel, Pop, Boogie, giving you a well-rounded selection of musical styles based on the Blues.
