Bali Blues/ Brief Description
This exotic “Blues” in G major employs the “Slide” and “Acciaccatura” techniques introduced in “Lesson 8”. The melody of this composition features numerous simple slides, both ascending and descending, supported by a bass line during the initial presentation of the theme. In its reprise, the slides are doubled. A few grace notes are included as well. For a more gradual approach to mastering this piece, studying the exercises in “Lesson 8” is essential. These can be downloaded from the “PDF Music Score Exercises / Lessons 1–8 / Instructions” sub-menu. Additional support is provided by listening to the corresponding exercises in the “MP3 Exercises / Lessons 1–8” section. This piece was composed using a special tuning that differs from the standard one. For more theoretical and technical details on “Open Tunings” please refer to the instructions at the beginning of “Lesson 8”. The audio track, which faithfully mirrors this score, is available for download in the “MP3 Pieces” sub-menu.
