Besides the
requisite 12- and 8-bar I IV V blues progressions, do you know at least 12
other distinct forms and progressions? Do you know at least six ways to
voice, alter and extend all of the dominant and minor chords in those
progressions? When comping the blues, are you adept at voice leading when
making chord and voicing selections?
If you answered “no” to any of the above three questions, then three things
are likely true; 1) you’re not bringing anything fresh to the jam or
rehearsal; 2) you’re bored stiff with your own blues comping; and 3) you
need this edition of Guitar Lab: Blues Progressions yesterday.

True to form in these Guitar Lab intensives, Chris Buono digs deep into the
what, how, whys and wherefores of blues progressions. You will learn how to
play 23
progressions in various keys and forms including a few eclectic 6-, 14- and
16-bar forms. So, just in terms of expanding your bag of progressions you’ll
be way ahead of the game, but that’s just the start.
The truly juicy quality of this course is the six-string rocket science
revealed within those 23 progression-specific video guitar lessons. Buono
steps you through three choruses for each of the 23 progressions. The first
chorus utilizes familiar 7th chords and "stock changes." Chris then spices
up the second chorus with tasty chord extensions and voicings to demonstrate
how to expand the palette of colors you can draw on when comping the blues.
In the third chorus, Buono takes you to graduate school and teachers you how
to play and use next-level voicings, voice leading,
riff-based approaches and a variety of other advanced concepts to freshen up your blues comps.
The accompanying 167-page manual features lead sheet charts with pint-sized
chord grids beneath the chord symbols for quick reference and fingerings,
for all 23 progressions.
Below each one-chorus lead sheet, Buono charts out all of the chords,
including any passing chords, in larger grids that display the chord tone
designations so that you're on top of every last detail.
All of the progressions
are demonstrated with simple rhythmic figures, which are also notated in the
accompanying charts, and all examples are played over killer practice rhythm
tracks powered by live recordings with bassist extraordinaire Steve Jenkins.
Put your time in with Guitar Lab: Blues Progressions and you’ll hear
dramatic sonic changes busting out of your new bag of progressions, forms
and voicings. Pull a few of these treats out at the next jam to freshen
things up and you'll see heads turning and players rushing the stage to jump
in.
