Acoustic Blues Guitar/157 [Paperback] Review

I happened upon Kenny Sultan quite by chance when I was taking a fingerstyle class at the National Guitar Workshop. The teacher threw me a copy of this book to work on because I was too advanced for the beginnersclass I was in, but not at the level to check out any of the fingerstyleseminars with Martin Simpson, Paul Rishell etc.. In any case, myfirst love is the blues and ragtime, and those couple of days with thisbook had me hooked. When I got home I went right out and bought this bookand, at the risk of sounding sappy, it changed my life.My workschedule prevented regular jam sessions and strumming chords was boring ashell with no one to jam with. This book took me to a whole new level ofplaying and has brought great joy to those hours between work and bed. The cassette is invaluable, the tunes soulful and you even get to dip alittle toe into some ragtime and slide licks. You will quickly want tofind other books by Kenny and probably start scouring the guitar shops fora National or Dobro. This is easily the finest fingerstyle bluesguitar book I have ever seen. And the author is not only a helluva player,but a fine gentleman, too. A letter I sent him asking for some tips ondouble time bass runs was answered in a week.
