Customer Reviews of This Album/CD |

 Excellent work
Submitted on: 2009-10-22 |

Since Robert Johnson used non-standard tunings, capos in seemingly random positions, and there's no video recording of his playing at all, it's about as easy to transcribe his music as solving a doctoral-level open scientific problem. While I don't approve of most guitar songbooks published these days, I certainly feel that the authors have offered us more than a fair deal with this book, and unless you have a few years of your life you're willing to dedicate to studying acoustic guitar Delta blues, you'd be well advised to reap these ready results.
It's well worth it.

Alternate take of Cross Road Blues
Submitted on: 2009-02-12 |

It looks to me like the author has transcribed the ALTERNATE TAKE (or "Take 2") of Cross Road Blues in this book, not the original take like all the other songs.
Just an FYI.. for all you other pickers out there struggling with this book! |

Whew! What an extensive work! I have only just made it through Kind Hearted woman.
If you purchase this you better be ready to woodshed a LOT!

!Quédate en casa trabajándote este libro y olvídate de ir a las 12 al Cruce de Caminos!, saldrás ganando. , August 8, 2008
By Javier Maria Perez Albert "Xavier Tijuana" (Valencia, Spain) - See all my reviews
Olvídate de frecuentar los cementerios a partir de las 12 de la noche, para emular a Bob Johnson. Déjate de acudir a los cruces de caminos para intercambiar riffs con los espíritus de Son House o Charlie Patton, o su amigo Willie Brown. La verdad está en este volumen. Con una precisión impresionante,(hay que tener un oido sobrenatural para escuchar ciertos timbres que aun apareciendo transcritos resultan imposibles de oir en las grabaciones de Robert Johnson) y una minuciosidad asombrosa, se transcriben nota-a-nota por orden cronológica de grabación los legendarios temas del más enigmático personaje de la historia del Blues. Las afinaciones empleadas por Johnson incluso la extraña afinación Add9 (La con 9ª añadida) que usó en un par de cortes.
Extraordinaria obra para estudiar a Robert Johnson. No hay nada mejor. |
