Summary:

Combining the emotion-charged sound of the blues with the high-voltage aggression of rock, blues-rock brings the ultimate in energy and passion to the electric guitar. Over the years, the world's best players have nurtured the style, setting high standards for technique, tone, and musical expression. The Way They Play -- The Blues-Rock Masters lets you explore the work of nine guitar heroes who span the entire blues-rock spectrum. You'll discover the secrets of their classic tones, learn how they played their most famous rhythms and leads, and find out how they forged their unique styles. The accompanying CD walks you note-by-note through licks that characterize the signature sounds of these world-class musicians. Just as these guitar greats have inspired one another, The Blues-Rock Masters will inspire your own playing and deepen your knowledge of the music and its history.
