Mr. LeeMr. Lee: 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!

Roy Lewis: 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.

Wendy: This book is indeed a complete guide to Blues Guitar. It is early days but the print quality is excellent and the exercises are well thought out. Gives a bit of Blues background to put things in perspective. Lots of theory but not overwhelmed by it. Going to take me a while to work through all of this but it will be worth it. The book does not include songs which is why I also purchased fingerstyle Blues by Miggs Rivera. There is some overlap between the two books but sobeit. The only criticism is (and this does not impact on the quality and content of the book) that the photo I saw in the first listing showed 3 books in a presentation box. The detailed listing shows a single book which includes the 3 volumes and it is the latter that you will get. Bought for Fathers Day with the intention of receiving a book from each of the kids but that obviously did not go to plan. This has since been rectified.

CBL: 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.

Shawn S.: 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!

Thomas W: Upon receiving this book I read it cover to cover, which is what I like to do with any music literature book. Having played other styles of guitar professionally, I have been interested in Blues Guitar. For the last three years I have studied numerous books and DVD courses on electric and acoustic blues guitar. What I like about this series of three books is how they get inside the music and the explanation of how to allow each note to express your feelings.
There is a good deal of materiel presented here that I have not seen elsewhere. It has great value to anyone interested in playing Blues Guitar. It is especially useful for the electric guitar. I also play acoustic blues and especially like finger style for that. There is not much for the finger style player, but you will not find a better series for the electric guitar.
Book 1 starts out by introducing you to various blues rhythms, embellishments and how to play them. Playing Blues Rhythm Guitar is important for many reasons. You should understand this essential part of the Blues even if you never play solos. And if you do play solos, the rhythm guitar will be so important to understand as to what you can play...
