Hal Leonard make awesome tab books - it's not like they had much competition anyway... I'm a big SRV fan and this book was very helpful in nailing down some of the faster tracks, like Wham.

However, there's a lot of errors in this book that would've been caught had anyone just taken a final read at it. In Wham, some notes are written for the 24th fret (!) while it is obviously an 8va error and the notes should be played on the 12th fret. Some of the position shifts also don't make much sense, especially considering SRV's very fluid and efficient style.

In summary, I'm glad I bought this book but wish Hal Leonard had done a better job at proof reading the final material.

For pros, books like these are not truly needed, but for people still on the path of learning, this is a great book to have. You can learn to play along with Stevie, if your fingers are fast enough, but it is definately a good learning experience. I am having an adventure trying to get all these songs down, but then again I am a devoted SRV fan.

This is an excellent book. In every measure there is a whole blues guitar lesson. Stevie is most certainly one of the greatest blues guitarist of all time. Learning the riffs in this book should help any aspiring guitarist to get a good hold of the blues genre.

I enjoyed this book! I would like to see the authors go into a little more detail about S.R.V. when they made the album.But other than that, I highly recommend it.

you could do a lot worse than start here learning blues guitar. There are a lot of really easy licks, and a lot of really hard licks. Fast songs and slow songs. Masterful bending and killer tone. One thing: if you're gonna tackle this, do yourself a huge favor and get the Tascam MP-GT1- you're progress will be 10x faster- no joke.
