Robben Ford - Rhythm Blues: REH Book/Audio Pack (Reh Hotline) Sheet music – January 1, 1995

I research things prior to buying and this was exactly what I wanted. The book was new and in good shape after shipping. Packaged correctly, the DVD was intact and I would recommend this book to any student of music that wants to expand their knowledge of the blues and rhythm and Amazon to anyone in search for any item.It deserves the rating I gave.

What is written and recorded here is "gold" for any beginning/intermediate blues guitarist. You will learn interesting comping patterns and fascinating chord substitutions to make your blues rhythm playing much more interesting than the standard I7-IV7-V7. However, at only 16 pages and less than 30 minutes of playing on the accompanying CD, it is fair to say that this package is parsimonious (to be kind). Double the length would be fair for the price. So, what you get is great but not nearly enough. "All Blues for Jazz Guitar" by Jim Ferguson covers similar ground but in far more depth and detail.

Good book and CD. Gives you some interresting voicings. Tab is good and clear. Some nice styles and patterns. If you are a beginner to intermediate player, you can read and figure out what is being played, but it is hard to keep up and play along with the CD as Robben plays it so much faster. Something good to strive for though.
