Book/CD pack. The unique, ringing bite of the slide guitar can suggest many contrasting sounds, images and emotions: an unreconcilable wail of anguish, a chilling cry of despair, the lonesome moan of a distant freight train, anything you can imagine. This package teaches slide, or bottleneck, guitar licks in open E tuning. The unique format allows you to "sit in" with a pro blues band and singer, while learning a variety of licks to eight songs. Learn these licks and you'll be able to apply them to thousands of songs. The split-channel CD includes each song in it's entirety, then the songs broken into 3, 4 or 5 easily accessible parts. With text in English and Spanish. Note/tab. Comb-bound. 43 pp.
