Jam With The Kinks
The Story
The Kinks are one of Britain's most enduring and influential group, combining the lyrical genius of Ray Davies with hook-laden guitar lines of brother Dave to create some of rock's best-loved anthems. Classic numbers such as "You Really Got Me" marked the Kinks as true originals, pioneering the heavy metal and garage band sound. "Jam With The Kinks" allows you to match your soloing skills with the underlying riffs and rhythms of the Davies brothers.

This guitar workshop is a powerful learning tool that will help you to extend your stockpile of licks and fills and develop your improvisational skills. The combination of musical notation and guitar tablature in this book together with backing tracks on the CD gives you the opportunity to learn eight of The Kinks' tracks note for note and then jam with a professional session band. The track listing reflects some of The Kinks most popular recordings, providing something for guitarists to have fun with and improvise with, as well as something to aspire to.

Features the following tracks: "You Really Got Me", "All Day And All Of The Night", "Where Have All The Good TImes Gone", "Dedicated Follower Of Fashion", "Sunny Afternoon", "Waterloo Sunset", "Lola" and "Come Dancing".

The first eight tracks on the CD are full length backing tracks recorded minus lead guitar. The remaining tracks feature the backing tracks with the lead guitar added. Although many of you will have all the original tracks in your own collection, we have provided them in the package for your reference. The "JAM WITH..." series allows you to accurately recreate the original, or to use the transcriptions in this book in conjunction with the backing tracks as a basis for your own improvisation.

Additional Facts
From little acorns, oak trees grow. A chance meeting on the sunny island of Lanzarote in 1991 has led to a great musical and business success story. Stuart Bull (one half of Total Accuracy's founding team) was playing guitar to a blues backing track in a tourist bar Kim Waller (the other half of the team, and an aspiring guitarist) watched him perform and was suitably impressed. Later, Kim approached Stuart to make a backing track for his own personal use, which he did. Kim then discovered his playing improved in leaps and bounds. This gave the pair a great idea....

A mere six months after their original meeting, Kim and Stuart formed Total Accuracy. They produced full-band CD backing tracks of original blues and rock styles for guitarists to practice and improvise over. This was later expanded to include classic rock, pop and blues songs, coming complete with full guitar tablature and two versions of each song on the CD. One is complete with the guitar part - to hear what it should sound like - and one professional backing track where the guitar is missing, so you can fill it in.

Total Accuracy has gone on to become the world's best producer of backing track CDs for guitarists, winning awards and becoming the market leader in just eight short years.
