iVideosongs Shows How to Play 12-Bar Blues with Clapton and SRV Songs

ALPHARETTA, GA - December 18, 2008 - iVideosongs shows how to play two great blues and one classic rockabilly song: the Eric Clapton interpretation of Before You Accuse Me, Stevie Ray Vaughan's version of The Sky is Crying, and the Stray Cats' Rock This Town. Each of the songs is instructed by an expert member of the iVideosongs staff.

Eric Clapton's version of the iconic Bo Diddley 12-Bar Blues classic, Before You Accuse Me, was recorded on Clapton's 1989 album, Journeyman. iVideosongs shows how to play Clapton's distinctive phrasing and solo licks, explains the blues improvisation concepts and also shows how to play the second, Robert Cray guitar part from the album.

The Sky is Crying is the iconic blues standard authored by Elmore James but perhaps best known by the version recorded by Stevie Ray Vaughan on his 1991 album of the same name. iVideosongs shows how to play every lick in this 12-Bar Blues shuffle that has inspired countless other blues guitarists. Intermediate-level players will find a strenuous workout for their bending and phrasing chops in this slow-tempo song.

Rock This Town was recorded by the Stray Cats on their 1982 album, Built for Speed. iVideosongs shows how to play the complete guitar part from the rockabilly hit, including the rhythm for the verse and chorus sections, and the solos. Rock This Town features both rhythm guitar concepts and also lead techniques such as bending, hammer ons and slides, and is a good challenge for intermediate-level guitarists.

Each of the songs is complete and accurate, and each includes embedded tablature and chord grids.
