Customer Reviews

Just as I expected!!

No surprises. I expected this to be a great book to get some tasteful ideas for soloing, and I got them. The solos are all very well built and will definitely contribute to improving anyone's playing.

"25 GREAT BLUES GUITAR SOLOS' BY MIKE ELLIANO

First off I do not give 5 stars to every book I have. I am actually quite picky and bought this on a whim. That being said it is a very good book with lots of different styles to play with. You will learn something and enjoy it because it is well laid out and actually has a few suprises along the way. Biggest plus...it's without a doubt not boring after playing a few times. You could actually become very good just playing this book over and over for improvisation purposes.
