Giants of Blues- BK/CD (Sanctuary Techniques) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Seldom do you find a book that delivers just on what it promises. After a obligatory set-up of fundamental chords and scales the book launches into the stylings of 20 diverse artists. Each artist has their own section with some general biographical and historical information and performance notes. It then continues with a couple of well-known licks building into a solo, and then a backing track to practice the solo over. It's a great way to be introduced to the techniques and signature styles of the giants. The CD makes it all the more beneficial for those that only read tab, as you can pick up the beat and feel of the music easily (something not possible on most Internet Tab Sites). If you're a beginning to novice guitarist, or someone looking for a solo in the style of a blues great, then this book is worth the admission price.
Artists Include: Robert Johnson, T-Bone Walker, Elmore James, John Lee Hooker, Muddy Waters, BB King, Albert King, Freddie King, Buddy Guy, Chuck Berry, Eric Clapton, Peter Green, Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Paul Kosskoff, Gary Moore, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Robert Cray, Walter Trout, Robben Ford
