Yes, I know that thread and the comments on BYCU. For this reason I want to buy the book, it seems it is the best book for learning guitar blues.

I'm considering the others as complementary material to BYCU. More-BYCU is a second course on blues and Beginning Fingerstyle could be a different approach also recommended by some GN users.

I don't know if the books on licks are more interesting than the others. I mean, as a complement to BYCU, is it better books on licks or tournaments or books with a harder or different approach?]]> Reviews of Instructional Material, CDs and Shows Nuno https://guitarnoise.forum/reviews-of-instructional-material-cds-and-shows/blues-books/#post-230748 https://guitarnoise.forum/reviews-of-instructional-material-cds-and-shows/blues-books/#post-230741 Sat, 24 Feb 2007 01:43:59 +0000

If you don't have the rudiments of Blues You Can Use down, More Blues You Can Use would be pretty much impossible.
Blues You Can Use is more than I'll be able to handle for some time to come.
Highly recommended. Huge fun to learn; the lessons are complete little pieces. They really make the process entertaining.]]> Reviews of Instructional Material, CDs and Shows boxboy https://guitarnoise.forum/reviews-of-instructional-material-cds-and-shows/blues-books/#post-230724 https://guitarnoise.forum/reviews-of-instructional-material-cds-and-shows/blues-books/#post-24188 Fri, 23 Feb 2007 23:17:23 +0000
I was reviewing old threads and some of you recommend also "Beginning Fingerstyle Blues Guitar" by Berle and Galbo.

Some Amazon reviewers recommend also these books (in this order):

- Blues by the Bar by Hunt
- Blues Turnarounds by Zinn and Rubin
- 101 Must-Know Blues Licks by Marshall

Also I'm considering as alternative the "More Blues You Can Use" and "Blues Licks You Can Use".

Could you give me an advice? Do you know or use these books? I don't know if it will be enough with BYCU and if the info included in the licks books is already present in the others.

Perhaps it could be better if the BYCU book were complemented with theory books as the Tom Serb's one or even The Guitar Handbook by Denyer.

Thanks in advance! :)]]> Reviews of Instructional Material, CDs and Shows Nuno https://guitarnoise.forum/reviews-of-instructional-material-cds-and-shows/blues-books/#post-24188
