Product Description: Explore the music of one of the greatest acoustic bluesmen of all time with this fascinating book/CD pack. Blues expert Dave Rubin provides an introduction on Johnson's place in musical history, and extensive notes on his tunings, arrangements, fingerstyle technique and guitars. Features in-depth lessons and audio examples of 15 of his most famous songs: Cross Road Blues (Crossroads) * Hell Hound on My Trail * I Believe I'll Dust My Broom * Kind Hearted Woman Blues * Love in Vain Blues * Ramblin' on My Mind * Sweet Home Chicago * Walkin' Blues * and more.
Excellent book Dave Rubin has always written great books. I am not quite at intermediate level yet so this book is gonna have to sit on my shelf for a bit. Lotta work here and a lotta study. If you're not at intermediate level you might want to look at Woody Mann's books on RJ. However, I have it on good authority from other better guitarists (than me) that the Rubin books are brill.
