Another great book by Dave Rubin! This book is amazing but please be aware... this book is definitely not for the beginner! Book is great for anyone wanting to challenge themselves to learn the music of the Master himself.. ROBERT JOHNSON but take note, NOT IN STANDARD TUNING!! Just remember, anyone who knows Robert Johnson's music should know it's not going to be an easy task learning to play the music of the Master!

Dave Rubin has always written great books. I am not quite at intermediate level yet so this book is gonna have to sit on my shelf for a bit. Lotta work here and a lotta study. If you're not at intermediate level you might want to look at Woody Mann's books on RJ. However, I have it on good authority from other better guitarists (than me) that the Rubin books are brill.

Fantastic work every aspiring blues player should have, but be aware that Robert Johnson didn't play in standard tuning. The music herein is written for open tunings.
