Blues and Jazz Preludes for Classical Guitar

By Alexander Vinitsky. For Guitar (Classical). Solos. Jazz & Blues. Book/CD Set. 24 pages. Published by Mel Bay Publications, Inc.
Level: Beginning-Intermediate.

These 21 original pieces for classical guitar feature bright melodies, convenient fingering, and exquisite harmonies. They are composed so that their performance gives an impression of two or three instruments sounding simultaneously. The collection contains 12 12-bar blues, all in different keys, at an intermediate level; a difficult etude in blues form; and six jazz preludes which are easy to intermediate. Written in notation only.
