Kings of Blues & Rock examines the
playing styles of eight of the greatest and most influential blues and rock
guitarists that have ever lived: Eric Clapton, Duane Allman, Jimmy Page,
Johnny Winter, T-Bone Walker, B. B. King, Albert King and Freddie King.
Kings of Blues & Rock is presented in eight Volumes, one volume for each
artist.
This
volume examines the playing style of Duane Allman. Duane Allman is one of
the most interesting blues/rock guitarists ever. Born in 1946, Duane had
many of the same blues guitar influences as his contemporaries Eric Clapton,
Jimi Hendrix and Jeff Beck, and was greatly influenced by them as well. A
large part of Duane’s uniqueness comes down to the incredible freedom with
which he played. With his groundbreaking band, The Allman Brothers, Duane
explored uncharted musical paths with such classic songs as ‘Whipping Post,”
“In Memory of Elizabeth Reed” and “Mountain Jam,” weaving jazz-like lines
through his blues/soul/country leanings.
But the area that Duane stands out the most is his slide guitar playing:
simply stated, no one before Duane played slide guitar with the level of
controlled virtuosity that he displays on tracks like “Statesboro Blues,”
“One Way Out,” “Don’t Leave Me Wonderin’” and many others. With his
signature glass Coricidin bottle used as a slide and worn on his ring
finger, and using his fingers to pick, Duane established a very high
standard for the art of slide guitar,
and his work has been emulated by
countless guitarists since his untimely death, at the age of 24, in 1971.
Kings of Blues & Rock will impact your playing in two distinctly
different but equally important ways: first, you will learn all of the
essential elements for soloing in the style of each of these great players;
more importantly, you will be able to take this information and use it to
create your own style and sound in rock and blues guitar.
The playing styles of each artist is examined in a variety of musical
settings designed around the artists' signature style and performances. All
of the solo segments are played first at tempo, over practice rhythm tracks,
and then presented slowly with thorough explanations. Practice rhythm tracks
are provided so that you can practice the solo examples as presented and
work on creating your own solo variations and ideas. Also discussed is the
type of guitar and amp each artist favors, and the means by which they
achieve their distinct, signature sound.
