Negative Positive
Title: Gives a flavour - which is all you need
Review: A couple of words on the reviews below: this edition DOES indicate the tunings each song is played in, and in the tablature, indicates the exact voicings as well. OK, the five-line musical notation might not, but if you're reading that, you're not a real bluesman in the first place - everyone knows bluesmen don't read music.But seriously, on that point, Robert Johnson isn't meant to be played note perfectly - if you listen to his own recordings, you'll see he didn't play it the same way twice himself. So what this book gives, a pretty accurate verse and chorus from each of his songs, should be more than enough to get you on your way.And if it isn't - if you don't immediately feel imbued with the spirit of the great blues masters, then here's what you do - to hell (ahem) with a note perfect trascription: just head down them cross roads at midnight...
