This all-inclusive anthology of performers and playing styles from the last 80 years is the most authoritative and comprehensive source of blues guitar available today.

Artists covered include: Duane Allman, Eric Clapton, Billy Gibbons, Buddy Guy, John Lee Hooker, Elmore James, Albert King, B.B. King, Stevie Ray Vaughan, T-Bone Walker, Muddy Waters, and many more. This book also features over 130 professionally-produced audio tracks demonstrating the styles. Spiral comb bound so book will lay flat.

The audio files include PLAYBACK+, a multi-functional audio player that allows you to slow down audio without changing pitch, set loop points, change keys, and pan left or right
