Very Basic; Good For Beginners March 6, 2006
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
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.
