Although the content (pentatonics, moveable chords etc) could be found in thousands of other guitarbooks, this one really does it for me. Maybe because it is so well written, short and concise, yet still gives you inspiration and desire to try the suggested exercises (or just play the blues!) I will take it with me (only one thing - it might have been nice, if it came in the "guitar-case/-bag format" like some other books), as a "first musical aid", when I "freeze" in my playing. For once I also find the cd, that goes with the book really good, great musical ideas told in the right way. I am really happy for this short little book - 40 pages, and it has been a long time since an "educational" book of this kind gave me so much inspiration. Fred Sokolow really nails down, what you've got to know in a superb way.

I already owned the fretboard roadmaps and decided to purchase the Blues Guitar version recently. Initially I was slightly disappointed that there was quite a bit of duplication between the two books. However this was completely unfounded as the two books complement each other really well, although I think this one is slightly better than the first.
The book itself if really well presented and easy to understand. It takes you through blues chords and 12 and 8 bar blues formats. Pentatonics, chord fragment, blues licks etc.
One area that this book really does well is the audio CD, Fred's voice is really distinctive and the audio examples are very well presented and easy to follow, it really stands out favorably compared to some of its competitors.
I think this book is an essential purchase for anyone learning guitar.

Good but...
This book is probably a lot better thai I give it credit for. I don't find it particularly user friendly or easy to follow, but that's probably down to me wanting everything handed... Read more
