Trading Solos: Moody Blues

In Robben Ford’s Moody Blues edition of Trading Solos, you’ll trade solos with Robben over five frequently encountered moody blues grooves, in a variety of keys and feels including a down-and-dirty Muddy Water style slow blues in the key of E, a G minor blues, a minor blues in the key of Dm, a 12-bar blues in A minor, and a blues in the key of G with a bit of a folky quality.

"It has been traditional throughout the history of music for musicians to get together to exchange ideas, jam, flesh out things they’re working on, and learn from each other in the process. That’s what we’ll be doing here in Trading Solos, working with 5 different moods of blues."

For each of the five moody blues jam tracks, Robben will show you a handful of licks and rhythm approaches that you can use over the tracks as you trade solos with Robben. Then, you'll take turns applying those ideas, trading solos and comping for each other.

Robben will explain and demonstrate all of the key concepts and approaches along the way. You’ll get standard notation and tabs for all of the key examples and performances. Plus, you’ll be able to use TrueFire’s learning tools to sync the tab and notation to the video and can also loop or slow down the videos so that you can work with the lessons at your own pace. All the backing tracks are included to work with on your own as well.
