Rick
Payne's 2-CD Video BLUENOTES course presents
a fresh approach for applying blues scales, pentatonics and even the
mysterious diminished connection to power up your blues solos. Most
players have a grip on these scales and can play in the "box"
for days, but still lack the essential skill of understanding how,
when and why to put those "blue notes" to work.
BLUENOTES
will teach you how to balance blue notes with chromatic, passing
and neighbor tones correctly to add color, depth and richness to
your phrasing.

Rick
Payne says, "like many guitarists, I was always confused as
to what Pentatonic this and Pentatonic that meant. Guitar books
varied in their interpretation of blues scales and Pentatonic, and
still do.
Most
of us get through in the end by using our ears and not the grey
stuff in between. However, I thought it would be useful and time
saving to share with you some of the grey stuff I've learned along
the way. Even if you are already a rip rooting soloist, BLUENOTES
will help tie it all together."

The
BLUENOTES interactive manual takes you through the course
step-by-step with easy links to video and PowerTab elements.
You'll
also learn three instrumentals that cover all the bases for the
techniques covered: Bending the Blues, an instrumental highlighting
blue note bending. Chromatic Blues an instrumental using
chromatic tones and Neighbor Blues an instrumental using
neighbor notes and slides.
For
your listening and learning pleasure, BLUENOTES also includes
an addendum of 13 blues tunes in CD quality MP3 format.
