Appendix B
How to Use the CD
Every music example in Blues Guitar For Dummies is performed on the CD
that comes with this book — over 120 examples! This makes Blues Guitar
For Dummies a true multimedia experience. You have text explaining the techniques
used, visual graphics of the music in two forms — guitar tablature and
standard music notation — and audio performances of the music (playable
on your CD or MP3 player), and the appropriate accompaniment settings.
One fun way to experience Blues Guitar For Dummies is to just scan the text
by music examples, looking at the printed music in the book and listening to
the corresponding performances on the CD. When you hear something you
like, read the text that goes into detail about that particular piece of music.
Or go to a particular chapter that interests you (say, Chapter 11 on acoustic
blues), skip to the appropriate tracks on the CD, and see if you can hack it.
A little above your head at this point? Better go back to Chapter 4 on barre
chords!
Relating the Text to the CD
Whenever you see written music in the text and you want to hear what it
sounds like on the CD, refer to the box in the upper-right-hand corner, which
tells you the track number and start time (in minutes and seconds).
Use the track skip control on your CD or MP3 player’s front panel or remote
to go to the desired track number and then use the cue button of the cue/
review function (also known as the “fast forward/rewind” control) to go to the
specific time, indicated in minutes and seconds, within that track. When you
get on or near the start time, release the cue button and the example plays.
