Although the term '12-bar' is usually the first form one thinks of when hearing the word 'blues', a surprising number of songs make use of another popular form: the 8-bar. This Book/CD pack is solely devoted to providing you with all the technical tools necessary for playing 8-bar blues with authority. Includes a CD with forty-four full-band tracks, a history of the 8-bar blues, rhythm patterns and solos, and much more.
