Los Angeles, CA (May 9, 2013) -- Learning to play the blues has never been easier with the release of Alfred’s Learn to Play the Blues Guitar by Steve Trovato and Terry Carter. This new book and DVD method is perfect for any musician with a basic understanding of the guitar and music theory concepts and is interested in learning how to play authentic blues guitar. It contains easy-to-understand lessons and written exercises that include solos in the styles of blues legends like Eric Clapton, Albert Collins, Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Albert King, and B.B. King.
The first section of this method covers blues rhythms, with more than 50 rhythm patterns, including medium shuffle, uptown blues, slow blues, blues-rock, and mambo.
