Customer Reviews

Great method book

Don't let the "Dummies" title fool you. This is an excellent book for learning to play blues guitar. At almost 400 pages of instruction and information, this book will give you a solid foundation for exploring blues guitar. It covers everything -- from rhythm and lead guitar, basic to advanced chords, scales, and has great information about blues artists and blues history. There's also information about equipment. The author really has taken the time to create a solid method course that's never dull. Lessons build on each other, staring from basic chords and rhythm patterns, to more advanced scales and lead and rhythm playing. To get the most out of this book, don't skip around -- take your time. This book should give you months of instruction if you're a beginner or beginning intermediate player. The CD that comes with it is invaluable for hearing how stuff should sound.

All around great resource

This book is great even for guitarists who play well and want to expand into the blues style. Information is presented clearly for both guitarists who read music notation and those who do not. Well worth the price--enough material to learn to keep you busy for months.

Blues Book

This book is informative and pretty much just what I expected. It is a little hard to traverse and comprehend if you don't go page by page.
