5.0 out of 5 starsNot for Dummies!22 Aug 2008
By M. Hallowell - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This is an excellent compilation of classic blues music covering a broad range of styles. The transcriptions are designed for single guitar allowing the player to express the essence of the song even if the original recording used multiple instruments. The music is appropriate for intermediate to advanced players. My guitar teacher, a professional blues guitarist for 35 years, liked this book well enough to buy a copy for himself!

5.0 out of 5 starsExcellent Song for Blues Guitar21 Sep 2010
By William R Weker - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is the first Amazon review I have ever written. That's how much I love this book!
While this book is not for beginners, I think it's perfect for intermediate to advanced players looking for the full tablature of classic blues songs. The author also identifies which recording of the song he is tabbing. For example, Sweet Home Chicago is from the Blues Brothers version.
If you're an aspiring or accomplished bluesman (or blues-person), get this book!

4.0 out of 5 starsgreat song book5 Feb 2012
By Ramblin James - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I was in a book store and saw the book, having owned a few other for Dummy books I bit. I was actually impressed by the amount of songs, but when I got home I found the notes on the songs area in the book and like it lot more. These are blues standards and knowing these songs are where you develop your basic licks department and the selection is good. I would recommend the book to advanced beginners to intermediate blues pickers as a place to learn the classics and move on up in your playing ability. After all, from this point it is just all about mileage.
