Book Reviews of Mississippi Delta Blues Fingerstyle Solos Made Easy
Book Review: Another great book by Larry McCabe
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this book because I really liked McCabe's 101 Easy Fingerstyle Guitar Solos, which I've also reviewed here.
This book starts off very easy - a song with almost all open string notes - just to get you used to fingerstyle playing.
The second and third songs teach you a couple of patterns, and the songs are a little more interesting.
By the time you get to the 4th song in the book, the songs are really good. The type of song that you would play for someone and they might respond "hey, that's a cool song."
Each song has a set of introductory notes that provide chord fingerings and some general tips to help you out with the song. You can see a sample for this book using the 'look inside' feature here on Amazon. The sample they show is for the first song, which I mentioned is pretty basic, so the notes are also basic. As the songs get more complex, the notes get more detailed and helpful.
In addition to the songs, the book has a section on turnarounds. It gives 5 examples, each in a different key.
The accompanying CD plays all the songs at slow and normal speed. The slow speed is great if you are having trouble figuring out a section. Besides, the songs also sound good a slow speed.
I'm still working my way through this book, and I'm glad that I bought it.
