8 p. + separated parts, Level 2
Boogie du Jeudi is a swing-style boogie written in 6/8, rather than in 4/4 with triplets. A fine example of 12-bar blues in action, this piece is easy enough to really let rip on some of the excellent blues arpeggios. If any guitarist has a morbid fear of Bb, this piece will cure them - those flats are just so much fun to play! The piece sits comfortably in the first position apart from a few first string notes and the gloriously cheesy ending that comes down the neck in chromatic sixths and slowing for a big seventh chord at the end. Oh Yeah!
(.) The printing is clear enough, but I suspect that the rhythm would be easier for a learner to pick up by imitation, rather than reading. Syncopation is hard at the best of times, but there's a lot to take in here, because ties do some of the syncopation, but other syncopation is done by putting a crotchet on the offbeat. (.) It is a very effective little piece.
(Derek Hasted, Classical Guitar Magazine)
