This book kicks ass. From the Cradle is Eric Clapton's next greatest notation ever made (next to unplugged and 24 nights of course" If you liked his unplugged blues this book will blow you away. A must have for the profesional guitarist of today. If your a beginner to the blues I recomend you take 1 step at a time. start with Eric's unplugged albulm first, but if your motivated enough with his music and the blues. Go ahead and take it to the next level. you'll learn a lot.

Great for all levels of blues guitarists - beginners can get the chords to these great blues songs and more advanced guitarists can read the note-for-note transcriptions and spend many a night going over Eric Clapton's wonderful guitar solos.

First let me say that the album From the Cradle is a treasure trove of classic blues tunes wherein Eric Clapton shows us the dedication he has had his whole life to the real blues from the masters. Nobody but Clapton plays like this, period. In this book I have found great transcriptions that will keep me busy for years. I am a musician, have played guitar for years, and this book will be a challenge for me. If you are brand new to guitar, you may want to start somewhere else, but really, if you take this bar by bar with the album, learning both guitar parts a bite at a time, it will be a great education for any aspiring blues guitarist of any level. Kudos to Hal Leonard and the transcribers for a job well done.

a great book muist have for any guitar wanting to expand their guitar vocabulary if you study this book people will be blow away by the crazy blue you know and thats the whole point is to get other people amazed

I really have had it with people that attempt to transcribe EC they always reduce it to the lowest common denominator of the transcribers knowledge of pentatonic scales.
