Title: great beginner book
Review: I bought this book back in 1993 when it came with a cassette. It's very good at teaching basic blues and helping you to play something quickly, which is important when you've first started with the guitar. If you're into Chuck Berry, Sokolow does a very good job at getting a player into his style (and by extension, the styles of a lot of other blues guitarists). There's really not any theory here, but I don't think a book for beginning blues needs theory. Sokolow provides a good balance between written instruction and allowing you to develop your ear. A really good book for beginning guitarists who like blues and early rock and roll.
