BACK COVER

Doing Time with the Blues Volume Two is the second volume of the "Doing Time" series of books which are designed to show the student how to develop a better internal sense of time. This is accomplished by requiring the student to "feel time" as opposed to relying on the steady click of a metronome. Each volume of "Doing Time with the Blues" is filled with exercises and a CD to play along with these exercises. The second volume contains a CD with 8 tracks at different tempos with a metronome click marking time every 4 bars and another extra click every 12 to outline the overall form of a 12 bar blues. With each progressive volume of "Doing Time with the Blues," this metronome pulse happens at wider and wider periods of time, requiring the student to rely more and more on their own internal sense of time. This book is a required text at both New York University and Princeton University.
