Blues By The Bar- Buy It!

The backing tracks are great. Chris Hunt, Thank You! I have been looking for a book like this for years. It gives you many options for the solos over the backing tracks. It has helped apply knowledge of scales, how you can play a solo over different cords. Excellent!

Great instructional book!

This book has helped me immensely. It pushed me over my plateau and has enabled me to actually make my pentatonics sound like something.
