Rating:  - " I FOUND SOME GEMS IN THIS BOOK "
I liked this book because the author gives you all the elements of creating leads on your own. If you are an intermediate level guitar player you will find some of the riffs pretty basic; however,as you move through each example you will "catch up" to your own personal skill level.The reason I sought out a book of this sort was to learn some new riffs; I found some real gems in this book that I can infuse with what I know already. One thing I really enjoyed was that each riff had an audio example ... Read More
Rating:  - Entry level
Well for all the stuff I read about it and thought it might turn out to be... this turned out to just about ok. I was looking for licks and this has licks that can be memorised and reissued and re used. But it stops at just phrases and at time is actually monotonous...
If you want to get a quick bunch of licks that are at best average, get this book and CD.
Else you're better off with some of the other tutorials which are more intelligent.
Rating: - My favorite blues guitar book
I have bought dozens of blues guitar self-instruction books over the years, and this one is by far my favorite. The format is simple but extremely effective.

All are very effective without being particularly difficult or fancy.
He provides a wide range of approaches to playing blues licks- sparse and open, driving and repetitive, on ... Read More
Rating: - Excellent book!!!!
I have been playing guitar for over three years and despite constant efforts to come up with my own soloing ideas, I always seem to sound like I am just playing up and down scales. This book has really helped me get past this stumbling block and start making my solos sound like solos!!!! Definitely recommend this book!!!
Rating: - wish I'd had this 20 years ago
this is the book and cd I wish I'd had 20 years ago. My favorite music is blues, especially Allman Brothers, BB King, Muddy Waters. This cd and the book teach in baby steps (literally a bar at a time) and in the first five examples i've already learned licks I've tried to play for years. I'm an intermediate player.
