PLAY BLUES GUITAR IN 14 DAYS: Daily Lessons for Learning Blues Rhythm and Lead Guitar in Just Two Weeks!: 1 (Play Music in 14 Days)

Aimed at late beginners or early intermediate players (but to be honest would suit beginners who were getting their chords down too). It is spot-on and is by far the best resource for learning Blues Guitar that I have come across. I love the way that all the elements are included in each section (chords, rhythm, scale, lead parts and a turnaround). The lessons are bite sized and meant to be done in a day although not completing them all in a day isn't a big deal. 14 days, after all, is a bit on the ambitious side. Could have done with having the IV-V change included but the author has replied to my query about this and says that he didn't want to overload learners and has left this for the 7th and 14th day reviews. It doesn't take much to dig out the necessary chords for the rhythm part that's missing. And, I-IV-I makes up the vast majority of the blues progression anyway. This doesn't take away from this excellently organised and well thought out learning resource for guitarists like myself. A job well done in my opinion.

Excellent tutorial

Everyone learns differently, for me the concept of structured lessons with X amount of time on each one works really well. The author himself points out that you don't have to give the full 90 minutes per day to the lessons, rather you can allocate a shorter time and repeat the whole lot, if you wish. So there are a lot if good points. The embedded audio is great also, there's nothing worse than having to move away from your kindle to find something to play downloaded audio examples. The bad point for me is how quickly the learning curve rises, by day 3 I was struggling, and I've been playing for a while (although I'm not a great player by any means). But I found it very off-putting that the licks were so far beyond me, so quickly. Maybe that's my perfectionist streak? I suppose you could do your best with them and then repeat the whole process a few times. Bottom line, nice concept, embedded audio a major plus, best suited to an intermediate player (one who is comfortable with hammer-ons, pull-offs, slides etc). The 90 minutes a day is unrealistic for most people, but shorten your time and you've got a good, but challenging learning programme.

I found this book very boring to use. I have seen better.

As described good quality

Brilliant for beginners into blues

I really like this book. You would be pushed to cover all this in 14 days though. It is 14 chapters each divided into bite sizes sections. It is important to move on at your own pace. The audio is really easy to access. You go to the website and tap on the book you are using. I have tried to download so many useless and unusable audio codes in the past but this one is really easy. This is definitely the best blues guitar book I have used.

Very good results easy to follow 🙂

L ho scaricato sul Kindle paperwhite 10 gen e mi dice che è in un formato non compatibile con il lettore. Se lo avessi saputo prima non lo avrei acquistato da Amazon.

Hab mir das Heft auf Grund der vielen positiven Rezension geholt und einiges erwartet, besonders da viele davon geschrieben haben "not for Beginners". Ich selbst spiele schon länger Gitarre, hatte aber nie richtigen Zugang zum Blues und dachte hier könnte ich fündig werden. Aber ich muss sagen: Das Buch ist wirklich für Beginner! (Es sei den Beginner bedeutet man hat noch nie eine Egitarre in der Hand gehabt). Man lernt ein paar Turnarounds und Riffs in A, dazu Akkorde und eine Scale in minor/major/dor/mix dann wird das in zwei kurzen Blues Solos angewandt und fertig ist. Jammen, übertragen in andere Tonarten, Blue Note etc. alles Fehlanzeige... Ich hatte nach zwei Tagen alles angespielt und wenig gelernt. Deswegen jetzt ganz differenziert: Der Musikabruf ist gut und unkompliziert...wie gesagt keine Jam Tracks. Druckbild ist gut, unter den Tabs stehen Finger-Sätze, das ist lobenswert. Was fehlt ist eine TAB Erklärung - für blutige Anfänger wäre das wohl ratsam. Irgendeine Ausführung zum Blues allgemein oder zum Equipment fehlt auch...ist natürlich nicht Kern des Buches aber wäre im Hinblick auf Anfänger wohl ebenfalls gut. Für alle, die mit Bendings, Hammer on und einer Pentatonic was anfangen können und ihr Blues Spiel aufbessern wollen ist es Geldverschwendung. Für absolute Anfänger an der Gitarre dürfte das Lerntempo ambitioniert sein. Außerdem muss man wissen, das die technischen Aspekte (wie spiele ich ein Bending) nicht erklärt werden. Aber schaffbar ist es. Hier wird wahrscheinlich das Erfolgserlebnis am größten sein. Meiner Meinung nach eignet sich das Buch technisch am besten für alle, die schon ein paar Monate E Gitarre spielen und ein paar Grundriffs lernen wollen... Am Ende steht man aber da und hat 2 kurze Bluesstücke gelernt und irgendwie ist das dann nichts halbes und nichts ganzes. Nur wirklich ein Feeling für Blues bekommt man weniger.

nice little book

After several years of shredding, I decided it was time to play the blues again. But ... where to start ? There are a lot of methods available on the market, methods with more than 300 pages , so it can be ... to much for an beginner to digest and to long to see progress in short time. I found these method very chalenging .... I tried my best to keep up with the 14 days goal and I am very happy with the results. In less than 2 or 3weeks, I feel confortable with chords progression, soloing and even improvising. I would have liked one last page with all the chords and scales learned along the book, but for the money, you can't find one method bringing you so much progress in no time. Thank you !!!!

Great book easy to read and understand, but you should take your time and try not complete it within 14 days
