Comping the Blues

More about the book

The book features twelve rhythmic comping studies that emphasize a minimalist approach to guitar accompaniment, using a "stabbing" chord style to highlight key moments rather than continuous ringing chords. It includes chord grids, notation, and tablature for easy understanding. Frank Vignola illustrates the principle that less is more in music. To fully grasp the concepts presented, listeners are encouraged to refer to the accompanying CDs from his "Jamming the Blues" series, where these techniques are applied.
