Customer Comment On This Book "100 Ultimate Blues Riffs" This book is
exactly what it says it is; finally truth in advertising!!! If your like
me and your bag of
riffs is empty, this book will get you started. There's some really nice
stuff here, and what I really liked was the two songs at the
end of the book that incorporated many of the riffs from the book (and
indicated when they were transposed to different keys)
It's easy to see way this is the best-selling book by this author-its
just damn good! So when you want to learn those blues riffs, get this
book you won't be disappointed. This is 70 pages of pure riffs, no
additives or fillers to stretch it out. Put this book in your library,
it has something for everyone from the beginner to the more advanced
player. And then take a look at the "12 Bar Blues Bible" for
