I am new to playing Blues Guitar so this book allows you to create a popular selection of music to play. The best part is the Recorded Versions Triangle in the upper left. I started with a B.B. King Tune and it was very very close to the recorded version. I can totally play along with the song. What is really awesome is the licks that are in the original songs that invented them. I take music lessons as well and this is real world content the my Music teacher can apply to make my music sound better. I would recommend it to a person with some Guitar training so not quite beginner. There is plenty of content a beginner can work with. If you love playing the blues get this Book. If you don't Please go listen to some and you will;.)
