Best of the Blues!
Customer Rating:
This is by far the best blues book out there for advanced beginner/intermediate guitar players. Don't waste your money on anything else. If you want to learn the blues the right way, this is it!
Good Introductory Blues Book
Customer Rating:
I'll start off by saying that I'm something of a beginning to intermediate, self-taught guitarist. I've never had lessons, but I've logged hours practicing scales, arpeggios, and any song that grabbed my ear. This is my first blues book and so far, it's been a great education. The lessons contain brief sections with clear, concise descriptions. Each lesson ends with a short, cool tune that illustrates the lesson concepts. It's a great introduction to blues guitar, especially for a beginner.
Learn to improvise entire neck, any key
Customer Rating:
I am 61 years old and finally I can play lead (any key) over entire neck after going thru this book and taking time on each lesson to fully understand it. I have taken private Jazz lessons for a year before but something was missing. This book made it clear,I now see lead patterns when i hit a chord and can jump anyplace on neck and still be playing lead in the right key.
Great Book
Customer Rating:
I found this book to be great for learning general techniques for playing the Blues. The book starts out with some simple riffs and graduates into more challenging routines while introducing new concepts used by the Blues masters such as progressions, bending, use of the Blues pentatonic scale, etc.
Having lots of fun with this
Customer Rating:
This is a nice introduction to blues guitar. With a good combination of theory and practice, each lesson builds on the previous material. The one confusing thing I've found so far is the fact that the author will introduce some chord forms for a given lesson, then in the practice exercise, a completely unknown chord form will appear. It isn't that the "new" chord is wrong - it just hasn't been covered in the lesson. Guess that keeps you on your toes, tho. The CD has some really nice "studies" that you can play along with. Bottom line - after about 4 weeks, I've gotten through the first four lessons and I'm having more fun with my guitar than ever. Your mileage may vary.
