Customer Reviews

Definitely worth the reasonable price

As a classical pianist new to playing blues and rock organ in a cover band, the sections on chord voicing (inversions) and the intervals used in the different styles (rock uses thirds and sixths) were the most helpful. Several good blues riffs are provided. The last two chapters on selecting a keyboard and recording music at home were pretty useless, omit them in the second edition. The chapter on early rocknroll proved the author understands Jerry Lee stylings and left me wanting more; please more than one example of Jerry Lee Lewis!
