You won't get bogged down with tons of details. Rather, you'll be armed with many chord shapes that have been used throughout the history of the blues. The included online video demonstrates each chord and all the song examples accompanied by a full band, so you can hear these chords in the proper context. This instructional combo covers: boogie patterns, dominant seventh chords, extended chords, other chord types (min7, maj7, altered), alternate/partial chords, full song examples and more. Video run time: 37 min.
