Boogie-Woogie is said to have developed as a musical entertainment in the saloon bars of Louisiana and Mississippi. It reached a peak in the late 1930's and early 1940's when the famous exponents (including Meade Lux Lewis, Albert Ammons and Pete Johnson) made their own classic recordings. Those who try to develop their own boogie Piano-playing quickly discover the technical difficulties of maintaining a mobile and rhythmic left-hand figuration whilst also giving thought to what their right hand is playing. In Boogie Duets, this task is thankfully shared, as well as the opportunity to improvise.

Here is a lesson that’s packed with dozens of time-tested musical phrases that will help you become a strong lead guitarist. Even beginners will be able to start playing hot licks over blues changes. As the phrases get more advanced, you’ll start to use slides, bends, hammer-ons, pull-offs and other techniques to increase your speed and dexterity. Each riff is played slowly and then at the speed to give you a feel for how it sounds in context. Jeff Pevar (currently playing guitar with David Crosby) joins Artie to demonstrate how two players jamming together would use these lead lines in blues progressions. Once you’ve got the basics down, you’ll learn to put several riffs together to create a complete blues solo. A demonstration of minor key jazz-blues phrases will round out your repertoire of licks and will allow you to create hot solos or jam on blues changes with your friends. This lesson will be of value both to beginners who want to get a jump on lead guitar as well as intermediate players who want to increase their knowledge of the fingerboard. Artie Traum has been a performer, recording artist, producer, composer and session player for more than thirty years. His CD Letters From Joubee was #1 on the smooth jazz radio charts for six weeks. Artie has toured and recorded with his brother, Happy Traum, and has played guitar with The Band, Livingston Taylor, Tony Levin, Michael Franks, John Sebastian, Sam Bush, David Grisman and many other top recording artists.

The Bluesier Side Of Jazz for Piano/Keyboards by Andrew D. Gordon. For Piano. Saddle stitch. Jazz/Piano Instruction. Beginner to Advanced. Book/CD/MP3/MIDI Files. 68 pages. Duration 70 minutes. Published by ADG Productions (AD.ADG141). ISBN 1934163368. Jazz/Piano Instruction. . The Bluesier Side of Jazz by Andrew D. Gordon was inspired by the piano students he teaches at Shepherd University School of Music in Los Angeles and is dedicated to those students: Jungwon, Yumiko, Yoko, Eunice, Sooji, Hae Ji and Ok Kyu. As with many students that come from a classical background (including himself) it is a difficult transition to learn to play Blues & Jazz. When a musician improvises they usually play a variety of riffs or phrases that they have developed and learnt over a period of time and can access these phrases instantaneously whatever key they are playing in to create a seamless improvised solo from the phrases they have learnt.Andrew's idea for this book is to create phrases or riffs over two measures of various Blues progressions. He sub-divided each of the 12 Bar Blues progressions used in this book (the chord progression for Watermelon Man is a 16 measure progression) into six sections (two measures each) and within each of the six sections created four different phrases or riffs so that the student has a choice of four different phrases to play over every two measures. They can then create a solo based on which phrase they choose for each two measures. By breaking down these phrases to two measures each, he has found that the students have an easier time of learning to improvise than by trying to transcribe a whole solo from an audio recording or leaving them to their own devices in trying to play a solo based on the Blues scale or other related scales.Each of the ten examples are based on common Jazz/Blues chord progressions from Jazz songs such as "Watermelon Man", "Blue Monk", "Tenor Madness", "Route 66", "Blue Trane", "Bag's Groove" starting off with basic I-IV-V chords and increasing in complexity throughout the book. There are over 200 phrases/riffs to choose from that can be learned and applied to many types of jazz songs.The package includes: Book, 30 audio tracks to play on your CD player or computer, Over 200 mp3 files, Over 200 MIDI files.
