Has been great for me,

This review is from: Progressive Complete Learn to Play Blues Guitar Manual (Perfect Paperback)
Let me tell you a little about my musical background before I talk about the specifics of this book. I'm forty years old and have been involved in music my whole life (singing and playing piano and french horn), but I am new to guitar. I bought my first guitar about five months ago and I've been trying to work on a balanced approach: basic chords, classical, and blues.
This book had been sitting on my shelf for a few weeks, but I figured I should get it out and try it. I was able to skim the first few lessons on note reading and rhythm, just playing each exercise a couple of times since I still need very basic practice. I'm sure folks who are new to music reading would need to spend a few weeks on that portion, but it is all explained fairly clearly and the author gives some good practice material. I'm now practicing the material in lessons 8-11. What I enjoy is that the exercises get you playing a variety of rhythms, solos, and riffs which are not too difficult to get started on. I really should probably slow down and practice each portion thoroughly, but it's just been so much fun to read and try out the material. I would imagine if you are already a very experienced guitarist, particularly in rock/blues that there won't be enough to keep you interested in the first half of the book, but for those who are new to guitar, this book seems like a great intro.

I have several of this publishers stuff. All good. This is an excellent book / cd package for beginners to intermediate players that want to learn the blues.

Assi's dropped the ball this time,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Progressive Complete Learn to Play Blues Guitar Manual (Perfect Paperback)
I have purchased ten or so guitar and bass guitar method books from this publisher since '85 and I waited several months for Amazon to finially get this book in, I guess I was one of the first to order it.
I give the book 2 stars because Peter Gelling put together a comprehensive text. However, much of it was taken from his earlier works -1 star. Gelling teaches the CAGED method for those guitarists who care. If you don't know what the CAGED system is buy the Book, "Fretboard Logic Vol. 1&2" to find out it is cheap. There are 2 CD's with musical examples included and their are several examples under each number given as a title on the CD (some CD formats will only allow you to go up to 99), There should be 5 or 6 CDs with this book instead of all of the info put into two as it is very difficult to use so -2 more stars. Blues You Can Use is a much better buy than Peter Gelling's "Blues Guitar Manual" IMHO.
