Blues Guitar Play-Along Songbook - Volume 7 - Book and CD Package Review

I don't know what's going on with Amazon as I've reviewed this before and it, and all the other reviews are gone.Anyway I've had this book for a year and I know it pretty well.First of all I am a novice, basement player with no formal training and I can't read music.This book has some easy songs to learn (hoochie coochie man) and harder (read impossible for me) Pride and Joy.Most songs take some practice but I've learned them pretty well to the point I can jam with a drummer and sound like I know what I'm doing.I put the CD in my computer so I can stop, start, and rewind or fast forward little bits at a time to get a phrase right.You aren't going to be taught scales or technique but with practice you'll know some blues tunes.My one complaint is that the TAB isn't always accurate.There are either added or missing notes that sometimes take a while to figure out.This is a minor point.The other thing I like to do is put difficult phrases onto my Jam Man and then I can loop it to learn it.The additional "minus guitar" tracks is also fun to improvise over.I wish there were more than 2 books in this series.
PROS -
- variety of songs
- easy to read TAB
- CD is invaluable
CONS -
- TAB is sometimes inaccurate
- The book would be easier to use if it was spiral bound
