The purpose of this book is to present a primary introduction for the early intermediate player to acoustic blues guitar. Through instructional text and actual songs, the author covers blues in five different keys and positions and shows how they can be adapted to any key. Along with the basic blues rhythms and leads, fingerstyle blues is covered, using both an alternating and monotone bass. The author also touches on the specific techniques of various well-known players, open tuning, and bottleneck guitar. The accompanying cassette tape includes each example and every song, most of which are played in slow speed and at regular tempo.

An excellent introduction to Accoustic Blues Guitar.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Introduction to Acoustic Blues (Paperback)
This book is ideal if: a)you know the basic guitar chords and the basic notes of the fret b)you are still essentially a beginner.This book is an ideal introduction to the basic blues techniques and sounds. It covers, amongst others, slides, bends, bottle kneck playing and also open D tuning. The cassette is very useful for hearing how the songs should be played. I have one major criticism, which is that the book suffers from a [minor] lack of conent. With a few more songs included, this book would be perfect!
