Open tunings have played an important role in the genesis of blues guitar since the early 1900's. This book/CD pack is solely devoted to providing you with a complete overview of the techniques and styles popularized by the greatest bluesmen of all time. Included are note-for-note transcriptions, performance notes, and full-band CD demonstration for 9 classic songs, as well as a historical analysis and rare photos.
 
About the CD: Each song on this CD has the accompaniment tracks as well as the melody, so you can play along. The melody only appears on the right channel, so if your speaker has a volume control, you can turn down the melody, to use for performance. There are also tuning guides on the CD to help you get in just the right pitch.
