The enclosed CD presents three versions of the exercises in chapters I and II, each version more advanced than the preceding one.

Matching the pitch and articulation with a rhythm background will not only assist in warming up, stretching, and building stamina, but will make your practice a more pleasurable experience.

It covers Chicago style blues – in places strongly reminiscent of Albert King and Roy Buchanan. The riffs are constructed in a “call and response” – but there’s nothing basic about them. They are all usable, and many of them are surprisingly easy to play. There’s nothing corny or academic in this book – it sounds fresh. These are real licks, not just scales or fretboard tricks. No open strings are used, so the riffs can be used in any key. In a very few places the tab isn’t completely accurate, but even where its wrong its close enough for any guitarist to work out the correct version. The quality of the CD is excellent.
I think about half of the licks would be technically difficult for a beginner. But, even a beginner could buy it now and grow into it. All licks are played in context (with a backing band) and are in the key of G. The student is left to transpose them to other keys – which I think is fine. The book is organized by the bars in a 12-Bar blues. Bars 1 & 2 in G7, 3 & 4 in C7 (quick change format) and so on. Licks are arranged in that order. This seems to me to be more useful than jumping from one lick in C to another in F# with tempo changes, etc. This book is much less helter skelter. I also like Hunt’s style. It’s not immediately identifiable with one player or a certain approach to the blues. Very contemporary and a good mixture of notes from the major and minor pentatonic scales. One of the best instructional packages on the blues that I’ve come across.
