TrueFire – Rick Payne’s Bluenotes

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.
