The Complete Guide to Playing Blues Guitar Compilation: Includes Three Blues Guitar Books - Blues Rhythm Guitar, Blues Guitar Melodic Phrasing and Blues ... (Learn How to Play Blues Guitar) Kindle Edition

I have just started digging into these books but I can already tell that the progression is at the pace I need. I have started with the rythm volume which starts with laying out the structure of blues. It is easy to follow and the numerous examples build on the concepts. I have also taken a look at the soloing volume as well and can say the same of the content. It is well thought out and easy to follow.

I had a guitar in high school, pre youtube but never really got into it because I already played saxophone and got terribly bored with the method books that taught me one note at a time and spent way too much time on how to read music (which I can do) and not enough time teaching me how to play music on the instrument at hand. This book is not like that. It will not waste your time teaching you to read music or how to hold your instrument you can find that on youtube and be strumming basic chord in about and hour. It starts out by giving you some chord shapes and then introduces the twelve bar blues. Then gives you some different chord shapes and more blues. Then some embellishments and more blues. As a competent musician with a new instrument this has enabled me to enjoy my guitar in the first week that I have owned it and is helping me toward my goal of be a competent blues artist on my guitar. It is nice for a musician new to guitar in that so far it has not thrown any curve balls every time it introduces a new chord it gives you the diagram for it ahead of time and there is an audio track for everything I have used so far. It may be the deep end of the pool for a beginner but I am getting results.

As usual these books are a game changer. It’s well organized the downloadable audio files help complete the chapters a big improvement on blues guitar playing can be seen after a few days of following the examples.

This book is easy to follow. Contains great step by step examples to help guide you through the learning process. Nice having the backing tracks included to play along with and the recorded lessons to refer to. I am pleased with this book.

Book is not heavy in theory but tells you what you need to know, with lots of tab and audio examples.

Im just starting out and have picked up a few books on the Blues by different authors. Joseph Alexander’s books, for me, are my favorite. They start off for the beginner but quickly bring in more complicated material which is a great motivator as you can see - and more importantly hear - your progress quickly. They are not easy though and do require a lot of practice but the work is worth it. This book is a combination of three of his other books and provides a lot of great material to advance your skill with! I am very glad I got this and his book Fingerstyle Blues Guitar!

As a beginner learning to play Blues I was not sure about purchasing this book. But I did purchase it and my reservations were a waste of time and energy. The information provided was right on for me. The book is laid out in an easy to follow format. You could read it cover to cover or use it to improve in separate sections. No matter how you use it, you will find topics that you will learn or improve upon!

I have loved the blues for years and wanted to learn to play blues guitar. I tried a few other books but quickly became frustrated. After starting this series, I can see that it will progress at just the right pace and ensure that I am learning prerequisite steps before moving on. I give this book and the author my highest endorsement.

It covers all the basics: rhythm playing, phrasing, bending, vibrato, soloing, improvisation.This book is not for complete beginners - you need to know basics, like notes on the fretboard, playing bar chords, strumming techniques.There are some minor misprints here and there - in the picture chord diagram shows different fingering than what tabs shows.Still, it is great compilation that will improve your play with regular practice and give you some useful tips!

Era da tempo che volevo avvicinarmi alla chitarra blues e ho optato per questo libro, forte delle numerose recensioni positive... e devo dire che non posso che confermare!Il libro racchiude i tre volumi venduti anche separatamente e risulta ben strutturato, con un approccio molto progressivo che lo rende utilizzabile anche da un principiante. Ogni esercizio è corredato da un esempio audio scaricabile dal sito dell'autore; dal medesimo sito è possibile accedere anche a numerose lezioni. Le spiegazioni sono chiare e semplici.Nel complesso quindi è un acquisto consigliatissimo per chi si voglia approcciare al blues e lo desideri capire meglio.

Książka dobrze wprowadza w tajniki bluesowego, gitarowego grania. Gram na gitarze od dawna, zaczynałem od klasyki. Chciałem zacząć przygodę z improwizacją i blues się do tego wyśmienicie nadaje. Materiał z książki można ćwiczyć razem z udostępnionymi online podkładami muzycznymi. Polecam

Beaucoup d'exercices sur les trois themes abordés avec des niveaux de difficultés progressifs et d'explications théoriques
