Title: 101 Must Know Blues Licks
Review: This book really should be titled "Encyclopedia of Blues Licks." I was expecting a book that would provide some simple to intermediate level blues runs along with some blues tunes. This book is filled with professional level blues runs and explains how to reproduce them. It explains the tuning to be used, what kind of equipment is needed, and optimal amplifier settings. The author describes the different types of blues - such as the Texas blues, or the King "brothers" blues. When I received this book, I was both impressed and disappointed. Wolf Marshall definitely can play the blues, as the CD demonstrates, but you could spend the rest of your life trying to master all 101 of these licks.
