If you're looking to break out of rhythm guitar mode and into the solo limelight, then this book is for you. With advice on licks, technique, feel and what to do (and what not to do) during your moment out front, David Grissom takes you through what every blues/rock guitarist needs to have under their fingers. Topics include: picking techniques, string bending and other left-hand techniques, country licks, borrowing from jazz, finding your own voice, equipment and gear, and more. David Grissom has toured and recorded with a who's who of artists, including John Mellencamp, Joe Ely, Storyville, the Allman Brothers Band, Chris Isaak, Buddy Guy and many others.

A Guide to Blues/Rock Guitar Soloing,
This review is from: A Guide to Blues/Rock Guitar Soloing (Guitar Educational) (Book & CD) (Paperback)
This is a great book! If you're a beginner, it's probably not for you, but if you like to go into the deep water, you'll love it. Grissom also delves into subjects that are related to overall musicianship, not just the guitar. If you're a David Grissom you'll get even more from the book. The CD alone is worth the money.

Great Blues Rock Lead Guitar book,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: A Guide to Blues/Rock Guitar Soloing (Guitar Educational) (Book & CD) (Paperback)
I have quite a few guitar books. They are usually 1) technical and boring (and require tons of self motivation) 2) Guitar Licks and Ideas - fun stuff to learn but totally out of context musically and leave out how to PRACTICALLY find your own voice and 3) Creativity Stuff - i.e. sandbox for guitar so to speak, to remind you why you want to play in the first place (not to be a music theory teacher!). This book has a little of all these elements, especially #2 and #3. Check out his video jam on YouTube. If you like his playing style and hear some of your true guitar voice through his playing, then get the book. A little too short, but great licks that inspire a lot of ideas. I love his tone.

First Rate But Not For the Beginner,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: A Guide to Blues/Rock Guitar Soloing (Guitar Educational) (Book & CD) (Paperback)
Just going through this book at the most superficial level, I learned enough that made it worth the price. If you have been playing a while-I have been at it 35 years- and are obviously a blues rock fan, you can't go wrong with this package.
