Olvídate de frecuentar los cementerios a partir de las 12 de la noche, para emular a Bob Johnson. Déjate de acudir a los cruces de caminos para intercambiar riffs con los espíritus de Son House o Charlie Patton, o su amigo Willie Brown. La verdad está en este volumen. Con una precisión impresionante,(hay que tener un oido sobrenatural para escuchar ciertos timbres que aun apareciendo transcritos resultan imposibles de oir en las grabaciones de Robert Johnson) y una minuciosidad asombrosa, se transcriben nota-a-nota por orden cronológica de grabación los legendarios temas del más enigmático personaje de la historia del Blues. Las afinaciones empleadas por Johnson incluso la extraña afinación Add9 (La con 9ª añadida) que usó en un par de cortes. Extraordinaria obra para estudiar a Robert Johnson. No hay nada mejor.
cross-Atlantic shipping Excellent service. The book arrived within 10 days to my home in Spain, and in perfect condition thanks to the excellent packaging.
NOTE: FYI: The picture on the cover (taken from a stmap) was altered by United State Postal Service, when Robert Johnson was recently put on a postage stamp. They removed the cigarette, not the author/publishers of this book.
Stick With It This book delivers exactly what it says on the tin, Its all here, and with a bit of effort you'll be playing it like the record. As a help I also purchased Eric Claptons DVD Sessions so that if i wasn't dead sure I could look at Erics Hand Positions. I would call myself a beginer at playing guitar but was playing all my fav Robert songs in under a month. Down side to this is that Robert plays in different tunings and I got so fed up breaking strings I went out and bought 3 new guitars........£2000 ouch!!! So the book is quite brilliant but be prepared to fork out for an extra guitar or two
