Complete Blues Guitar Method: Mastering Blues Guitar, Book & DVD (Complete Method) Paperback – January 1, 2005

This is a really great instruction method, I love it. I'm not a very good guitar player at all but I just love the blues. This book and CD have taught me a fair amount of theory, along with some really cool licks and chords that are a staple in playing blues music. And I am only on page 27! Being able to not only hear a professional play the bit you are learning, but watch HOW he plays it in the video is a huge help in learning a new lick or phrase that eventually leads to a full 12 bar blues with a little turnaround. I highly suggest having some way to record yourself and play it back. That way you can record a simple 12 bar rhythm using the various dominant and diminished 7th chords you learn early on, then play it back while you play licks and interval techniques to play on top of the recording. This helped me tremendously to get my timing right when playing with other instruments. I use a simple looper pedal hooked in between my guitar and amplifier to do the recording and playback and it works great!

Best beginning blues book out there for intermediate player....and some tricks even for old hands.

Awesome set. Rebought these after twenty years and still piecing together lessons I didn't understand in my teens.

Great learning tool
