August 2002, Percussive NotesEd Roscetti has put together a workbook/play-along
package to help readers understand and master the blues. He
discusses the 12-bar blues form, includes triplet accent exercises,
advanced fill ideas (septuplets, right-hand lead/mixed stickings),
alternative blues timekeeping patterns, ghost notes, straight eighth-note
blues grooves, half-time shuffle patterns, 6/8 blues feels, and eight
play-along charts. The exercises and fill ideas are very useful.
Roscetti provides blank worksheet space for readers to create their own
ideas based on his concepts. If you can’t play the blues after
using this book, you should be blue.
