Title: A learning experience which translates well to book form.
Product review: Swain has been teaching in the Chicago area for many years. In this book, he walks the student through the process of mastering blues piano. Included are easy to follow explanations which guide the student from the simple through the more advanced techniques of blues piano. An accompanying CD gives the student a bass and drums rhythm accompainment at various tempos. Here's an overall view quoted from Swain:"I approached the writing of this book alway asking: what concepts have proved essential to my own growth and to the growth of my students? With this question as the focal point, the book began to write itself. The exercise materials, solos and artistic concetps are engineered to build a creative facility at the keyboard quickly yet thoroughly."Within 3 hours of opening this book, I was playing a rudimentary 3 chord blues improvisation. Highly recommeded.
