This review is from: Robert Johnson - Signature Licks: A Step-by-Step Breakdown of the Legendary Guitarist's Style and Technique (Guitar Signature Licks) (Paperback)
Fantastic work every aspiring blues player should have, but be aware that Robert Johnson didn't play in standard tuning. The music herein is written for open tunings.

Dave Rubin has always written great books. I am not quite at intermediate level yet so this book is gonna have to sit on my shelf for a bit. Lotta work here and a lotta study. If you're not at intermediate level you might want to look at Woody Mann's books on RJ. However, I have it on good authority from other better guitarists (than me) that the Rubin books are brill.
