It has a melody with bass accompaniment, and stays mainly in the first position on the guitar. The notes are appropriate for beginning-level players. There are chromatic notes (using sharps and flats) that give the piece it&#8217;s &#8220;blues&#8221; flavor. The rhythm is another main feature of this tune. And the tutorial explains how to practice swing time.<\/p>\n<p>Petit Blues is a fun piece to play, and a great way to explore swing rhythms and shuffle feel on classical guitar. Enjoy!<\/p>\n<h2>About the RCM Bridges Series:<\/h2>\n<p>(From Amazon) Bridges: A Comprehensive Guitar Series serves as the official resource for guitar assessments of the Royal Conservatory Music Development Program. Innovative in its structure, Bridges supports students from the beginner to advanced levels with carefully sequenced repertoire, etudes, and technique. Each of the Repertoire and Etudes books in the series spans all major style periods and a variety of genres, presenting an organized compilation of pieces appropriate for that level of technical development. Nine progressive levels of Repertoire and Etudes scaffold student learning at every stage of musical development. Each book contains a balanced and representative selection of works from the Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and contemporary style periods. From the classics of Aguado to the modern compositions of Zenamon, Bridges connects students to both essential literature and enticing masterpieces never before found together. The Etudes have been carefully selected to support the repertoire and isolate specific technical and musical challenges, making Bridges an ideal collection and a comprehensive teaching resource.<\/p>\n<h3>Repertoire in the Preparatory Level Bridges Book:<\/h3>\n<p>Valse d&#8217;automne (Autumn Waltz) Composed by L.
