Format:Paperback
Well to begin with this is one of the best albums that surfaced during the blues boom in England. And john Mayall and Eric clapton was the ultimate combination. This book contains exact transcriptions of all the songs on this album. Pay attention to the bends clapton uses on All Your Love..some of the best phrasing i've ever heard. and very well transcribed indeed. initially i found this book i found it a little difficult to understand but it gets easier ( i mean really easy) when you use it with the cd ot tape. So lets get playing and remember to put all your feeling into it

great way to learn your blues chops
11 May 2007
Format:Paperback
i have been studying blues guitar for the last 2 years now. i've a number of books on the subject. i've progressed reasonably working with them.
then i got this book. learnt a couple of songs. and my playing has simply jumped a notch!
yeah because i'm playing what i want to play - being a huge clapton fan (bluesbreakers, cream etc). plus clapton is playing in such ways i never encountered in the tutorial books. his chops are simpler but much more effective. but some of his runs are quite difficult - not the mere playing of the notes, but the effect created by such.
i'm never going to play what's in the tutorial books anywhere - but this is what i want to play and it is such great fun doing it.
i can't comment too much on the accuracy of the tab - it sounds ok - trying to figure out the notes with the actual solos is itself quite a job - i recorded all the solos of this album in triplicate on a tape to use them as a reference. but guess it will get easier as i progress.
it would be very helpful if you know atleast some basic blues - the 12 bar, the pentatonics etc. needless to say, as with all blues learning, one should focus on the tonic (1st), the dominant (4th) and sub-dominant (5th) notes and the way they are manipulated to create the blues effect.
if you want to play like clapton get this.
btw i wish somebody would publish similar tabs of the music of the great peter green - his album with mayall 'a hard road' and his early fleetwood mac material as well.

Clapton is God and So is Mayall
14 Aug 2006
Format:Paperback
Anyone wanting to learn core Clapton needs this book. It is well done with most tab appearing to be right on. Obviously some songs are Harp based, with Mayall laying down soem of his best work. Love it.
