## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ SIMPLE AND VERY EFFECTIVE
*by B***N on 27 December 2008*

Recent edit: I have just dug this out...still brilliant....been playing 26 years and it is still a great book!***As a very experienced blues player, I was looking for a back to basics approach and this book is perfect. Any level of guitarist can learn something - I have been playing for 14 years!There are 70 licks - all tabbed / music notation with an individual CD track too for each lick. The licks are played clearly and also the book tells you how they fit into the 12 blues pattern and which scales fit over which changes in the 12 bar progression.Also at the front of the book are all of the scales used in the licks (ALL for the G7 blues) but obviously you can move it all up and down the neck.The best bit is at the end - two backing tracks of G7 - two of A7 and two of E7 blues - each is around five minutes - so plenty of opportunity to practice the licks in the book or to make up your own ones.A brilliant book and superb value for money!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brings it all together
*by J***T on 15 August 2010*

This book and CD helped me finally learn how to structure a blues solo. You can mix and match the riffs to create endless variations. It also helped me realize how to mix the major and minor blues scales in one riff rather than playing them separately. And it showed me how to use different rhythmic attacks to make the same riff sound completely different. Plus, it forced me to fret in a bluesy way rather than the way I'd been taught in classical technique. The real fun starts when you've memorized the riffs and they start to pop out in new ways while you are improvising. Highly recommended but probably not for beginners.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Improving improvising
*by J***T on 7 March 2010*

Once you know some basic blues theory and have the five pentatonic minor scales in your fingers and know how to connect them together, playing up and down the neck in any key, then (and only then) a book like this is invaluable.Like most people who reach this stage, I found myself being able to play some good sounding blues pieces but being rubbish at improvising... playing all the right notes but sounding dull and aimless. This book has 70 licks for either bars 1 & 2 or 3 & 4 or 5 & 6 or 7 & 8 or 9 & 10 or 11 & 12 of the 12 bar blues progession. Some are pretty easy, some pretty difficult and plenty in between. Rather than starting with lick 1 and learning them all consecutively, I have gone through the whole book learning the easy and medium/easy licks in each section... this means I can start playing them over the 12 bar blues backing tracks at the end of the CD, while working on the remaining medium/difficult and difficult licks.Unlike another similar book/CD package I reviewed, I was relieved to find the CD plays the licks over a back beat, which means it is much much easier to learn the phrasing. Everything is in G... this is also good as it means you can practice connecting all the licks with each other. But once in the fingers and memory, the next stage will be transposing them to other keys. Although some of the licks are fast, with sixteenth notes or shorter, everything is played over a pretty slow blues progression. Go to a pub and start jamming and you may find you have to ask the other band members to slow things right down... the licks in this book are more for playing mellow blues BB King style rather than for jamming over faster pieces. I like this... at some stage there'll be more work for me, learning to play wilder stuff... but learning the blues is a never ending process, it's important both to make progress and to enjoy the journey - this book enables me to do both.One practical gripe - each lick is a track on the CD and starts with a few seconds silence, which is perfect, but the nano-second the lick finishes the CD moves on to the silence at the start of the next track. If you decide you want to play your original lick again you have to remember to double-press the back button to get back to the start of that track - keeping pressing it just the once and you'll keep going back just a second or two to the start of the subsequent one. Sounds hardly worth mentioning? You're right, it's very minor indeed, but irritating nevertheless!Anyway, that one thing aside, if you are at the guitar-learning stage I describe at the top of this review, the stage I am at, then this book is the near-perfect tool to help you move your improvisation on to a much more dynamic level.
