100 Classic Blues Licks for Guitar: Learn 100 Blues Guitar Licks In The Style Of The World’s 20 Greatest Players (Learn How to Play Blues Guitar)

Good book. Having plenty of fun with this one. Most guitarists will find some licks here that they can keep up their sleeve for when required.

An excellent book. Two criticisms. The count ins on the audio are too quiet. They should be clicks. The second is that there is only one go at the example. There should be a second one to play it on your own with the backing track and a third one to play it with the original lick

I am trying to bolster the number of licks I know and bought this to help me. But what I am finding is that it's not just the licks that you pick up but a kind of playing style. The authors admit that these are licks are 'in the style of' rather than carbon copies of the ones used by these fantastic blues players. However, in doing that they have researched these players and share what makes their playing individual. I am really enjoying dipping into this book. I am probably early intermediate in level I would say. In general, I am a fan of this publisher. I love the free downloadable audio. It's a massive help.

I was playing guitar from the age of 14 years i am now 81 years but memory not so good there for I found this music Book very good helps me alot

I always seem to get stuck on the same licks … this book gave me loads of great licks … I can combine these to form my own complete solos Also add individual licks to my mental library so never stuck on what to play Easy to move between keys The notes on each musician also interesting to read as an overall brief recap .. bring a blues fanatic I knew most of the info but always good to read again If you can play a bit recommend this without hesitation

So far I'm enjoying this book; worked through the Johnny Winter and Albert King sections. I wouldn't say the licks are long or very hard, most are a dozen notes maximum but some good stuff among it. I do agree with some other reviewers that some of the licks are a bit generic and not really attributable to the artist in questions. Nevertheless they are useful. Found quite a few mistakes in the tab vs the audio but they're easy enough to overcome.

Got this book today. I already own several of Joseph Alexander's books and was excited to find out that he'd released another one. The book is laid out extremely well and consists of chapters on many influential blues guitarists, including Eric Clapton, Freddie King, Peter Green, SRV and Joe Bonamassa. At the beginning of each chapter there's a quick bio of the featured artist which is followed by a number of TAB licks based on the playing style of that artist. There's also details of the accompanying audio download so that you can hear what the licks should sound like. I've already been through Alexander's 'Complete Guide To Playing Blues Compilation' and for me I think that this book continues on from where that one left off. That said, you would get a lot from this book even if you hadn't studied any of Alexander's other books. I would thoroughly recommend this book and I give it five stars!

I downloaded this onto my phone, Kindle reader (Paperwhite) and Laptop, but cannot read the music examples (Music stave and tablature) on any of the devices. The printing is tiny and doesn't seem to be "zoomable" and appears only to have three lines to represent the 6 strings or 5 lines of the stave. Unable to decide whether this is due to download (though all other text in the book is very c;lear, or whether the examples are so small in the original that they lose their quality in transfer. The history of the blues players is very good but just cant practise the guitar using the examples :(
