Jump Blues (2009)

Matthieu Brandt presents this guide to playing jump blues: an up-tempo, jazz-tinged style of blues that first came to prominence in the 1940s. The programme includes theory, comping, accompanist riffs, horn lines arranged for guitar, and several approaches for soloing - drilling down on many approaches for opening up the neck for the scales, arps and riffs that are employed in swing and jump blues guitar. It also features 12 solos followed by in-depth analysis of several jump blues giants such as Brian Setzer, T-Bone Walker, Charlie Christian, Gatemouth Brown and Freddie King.
