Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is a very basic book.The lessons are simple, and even a pure beginner can start playing basic blues rhythms within a short time.I feel it necessary to emphasize that a beginning guitar student should NOT start with this book.A beginner should learn fundamentals prior to cracking this book open: fundamentals like open position chords, basic strumming patterns, and bar chords.
Although I wouldn't call it comprehensive, the book covers various blues styles: 12-bar blues shuffle, Chuck Berry style, minor blues, BB King big band blues, Kansas City style, 8-bar, slow blues, etc...There are a lot of examples.The book covers 7th chords, 9th chords and introduces 13th chords.There are a lot of practice tracts for 7th and 9th chords.There are also some single note rhythms.
The book is accompanied by a CD with 40 play along tracks that go along with each lesson.
All in all, it is a good introduction to basic blues guitar playing.I highly recommend it for beginning guitarists.An intermediate guitarist probably won't find anything in this book to be very challenging, but nevertheless it would still be a good introduction to blues.
