Review #9: Complete Country Blues Guitar Book by Stefan Grossman
You can learn to play music using a variety of resources including teachers, online resources, and books. Stefan Grossman’s Complete Country Blues Guitar Book is a repertoire book of various substyles of fingerstyle blues (general old time country blues, Delta blues, ragtime blues, Texas blues, and bottleneck blues). Most of the tunes are suitable for late-beginner and intermediate fingerstyle players, although advanced players will certainly enjoy the tunes as well. The music in this book may sound “old-timey” (much of it comes from the 1920s and 30s), but it is really fun to play if you are interested in the styl...

Review #8: Fingerstyle Blues Guitar by Joseph Alexander
You can learn to play music using a variety of resources including teachers, online resources, and books. Joseph Alexander’s Fingerstyle Blues Guitar (published by Fundamental Changes) is an excellent book for learning the fundamentals of fingerstyle blues guitar with either a monotonic or alternating bass. While this book does have some beginner friendly material, it will especially resonate with intermediate or advanced players. It is also great for non-fingerstyle blues, rock, or jazz guitarists looking to cross over into fingerstyle blues. The first half of the book is focused on improvising lead melodies over a monotonic bass (mostly E minor...

Review #7: Fingerpicking Beatles by Hal Leonard
You can learn to play music using a variety of resources including teachers, online resources, and books.
