Best Blues Book yet.....,

This review is from: Guitar Licks of the Texas Blues Rock Heroes Book/CD (The Guitar Lick Factory Player Series) (Sheet music)
This book is excellent. Ideal for intermidiate level. A bit challenging for a beginner but I'd buy it anyway; if you have it at the right time in your growth it'll be invaluable to you. The Amazon description says that it plays at half tempo and at full tempo but I believe thats wrong, the riffs are only played once and at full tempo. But the description of how to play each example is so detailed you won't need to hear it slower. He even tells you the song you can find the lick in. So when you're listening to your own cd's, you'll identify the licks you've learned, which also helps you learn how to apply them. Out of all the books I've tried this one was by FAR the best.

I love this book! A really good mix..I love that they were hip enough to include Hopkins a very important early player who is so often overlooked. The CD and tab are wonderful. I will say that this will be difficult if you havn't been playin very long but I would still get it. I really wish they had books like this when I started playing in the early 70's...I would have been miles ahead!

I was disappointed by this book. There's a good range of artists with some basic licks presented, but I think an intermediate player would be better served by getting a more detailed book on the particular artist you're interested in. But if you want a broad, albeit shallow, survey of the genre, this book may be for you.
