If you want to have fun with the Blues this is the Book of choice. This book is an excelent primer for those who want to know about BLUES and a reference guide for those who already know! it shows you what clubs to go to, festivals to hit, and what radio stations to listen to in or near your town. It recommends Cds to buy, guitars to play, Amps, Harps, etc. It tells you what organizations to join in your city to help keep the blues alive and kickin'. This book even tell you how to get your own blues band started and what to look out for when you do get it going. Blues Music is about healing whatever ails you. It's about making your Blues go away. Before I bought this book i had the wrong thought of blues. I thought Blues would make me feel low down and depressed. I seen how the people who wrote this book did this to show people how to have fun with Blues and then i BOUGHT it. So Check out the Cd in the back its worth the price of the book alone. Then Go out and party at your local blues joint and you'll see what I mean!

Buy the music, read better books, live the blues...
I really resent the titles of the "XXXX for Dummies," since as a teacher I think it creates self-images of inadequacy... The book is OK. Man, the blues is music. Lesen Sie weiter...

A Documentary, NOT a teaching manual...
Though this is an interesting book, if you are used to the 'Dummies' series and think it will be a manual to teach you how to play the blues guitar, you will be dissapointed.
