  • -Guitar Lesson:
    By joining Boogie Woogie and the Big Band Blues, blues with orchestra, the Jump Blues emerged. Saxophone, Brass, Rhythm Guitar ... with a Jazzie Taste. From here later the "Rock and Roll" Music emerged. Artists known as Louis Jordan, T-Bone Walker, Big Joe Turner, Albert Collins ...
    For This Lesson I have recorded 3 “Jump Blues Style” Backing Tracks. These backings, have structures with intro, verse, chorus and end. Blues based on a structure of 12 measures. I hope you find it enjoyable and informative, and please feel free to ask any questions you may have.
