The book is titled ‘Blues’ although two of the pieces may be close to the rock genre.  My first Blues book was titled 5 Blues for Classical Guitar (Hampton Music Publishers). ‘Blues No.1’ from that book became popular in the Trinity College of Music Exam Syllabus (Grade Three) for a number of years and to this day is very popular on You Tube. The pieces herein are intended as a follow up to that book.  Much time has been spent deliberating the tempo, dynamics and interpretation of these pieces with (note bending, staccato riffs etc). In the end much of these skills must be down to the players’ unique idea of groove. The last two bars of ‘Drum’ may initially present a challenge, however isolating them and with slow practice, you’ll win! .
