4.0 out of 5 stars
Good book but not for beginners,
By J. W. Coop (CA, USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Ultimate Guitar Blues Play-Along (Guitar Trax) (Ultimate Guitar Play-Along) (Paperback)
The book includes a CD with demonstration solos. On each track the solo drops out and the background continues so the user can play lead. Really good background tracks in a variety of blues styles. Though the book includes complete tabs and notation, the solos are fairly advanced. Actually duplicating them is for reasonably experienced players, though others can pick up some of the licks.

Yes, Good for Beginners. I've got blisters on my fingers.,
This review is from: Ultimate Guitar Blues Play-Along (Guitar Trax) (Ultimate Guitar Play-Along) (Paperback)
I knew the solos would be over my head, but I bought it anyway. No problem, because when the solos drop out, there is plenty of time to play along with some excellent blues. The solos at the beginning start me off just right. I haven't really played in years, and after getting this book and CD today, now my playing fingers have blisters, and my thumb, too (I finally found a pick, thank God). BTW, I found this under a search for Robben Ford, but he does maybe three solos on the CD, but no matter, it's all good.This is a great tool to play your own unique style along with the backup band. You really only need knowledge of the blues scales and a facility with bending notes. Hey, if any music book and/or CD gets you up off the couch and playing that thing, then it's good!!

Great Learning Tool,
This review is from: Ultimate Guitar Blues Play-Along (Guitar Trax) (Ultimate Guitar Play-Along) (Paperback)
This is a fantastic tool to increase your knowledge of the blues. It includes full transcription, chord progression, and a nice write up about the details of each piece. I've never seen something presented in this way and was very pleasantly surprised with this. I have attacked this by spending a day on each song because there is a lot to digest aside from the normal pentatonic and blues scales that are typically associated with the blues. The best part to me was being able to hear how some great players approached the song and then being able to follow them with the backing track. Great!
