Book Reviews of Blues by the Bar: Cool Riffs That Sound Great over Each Portion of the Blues Progression

Book Review: can't get all this hype
Summary: 3 Stars

this is a good licks book, but you must understand that you need to get the author style of playing. He repeats some fingerings a lot that you must master to make your playing sound exactly like the cd. And thats the problem for me, cause I didn't like many of the fingerings for the licks, my playing is simply different. This could be solved if in each lick he had changed the style of playing a little, to get this or that lick inspired by this or that guitarist. Anyway, you'll get many licks from the book, just don't expect to be the bible people are claiming. My second complain is that there are very few explanations, you'll have to figure out the scales used.

Summary of Blues by the Bar: Cool Riffs That Sound Great over Each Portion of the Blues Progression

If you're a guitarist who's learned the pentatonic scale up and down the neck but still asks, "During a solo, how do I know what to play and when to play it?", then this book is for you. Its goal is to give you a variety of great blues licks that you can put together bar by bar to create a complete blues solo. Covers: the 12-bar blues progression, cool riffs, complete solos and more. The CD features "Music Minus Me" tracks that let you play along as the featured soloist.
