I have about 30 of these Play Along books, and I play mostly blues. One my favorite guys is Magic Sam, so I was super excited to see this Play Along out!! I played the heck out of "Easy Baby," one of my all time favorite songs. Side note: I use a VOX Valvetronix VT20 amp and I am able to get that "slapback" Magic Sam sound.) All the tracks are great, the backing tracks as well as the guitar parts. Every song and every artist on this one are legendary!! It's like playing with the Blues All Star Team!!(obviously these are NOT the original tracks played by the original artists. There are two tracks, each complete songs, one with guitar and one without guitar) What I personally like about this book is, I can play acoustic guitar to most of them, or electric, they sound good either way! Most of these songs have been covered hundreds of times by other blues artists along the way, so if you're trying to get the "vibe" of a song and you cant find the TAB anywhere else or the backing track, give this a shot! A lot of my favorite artists are represented on this collection, and I found it fun to play along to! I mainly use these play along books for the backing tracks. I learn the melody or the theme of the song and then improvise the rest.**I started a rating system based solely on how technically difficult the songs are to play fully and exactly as transcribed; 10 being extremely difficult. I buy these play along books not usually so much to play exactly along note for note, but if that's what you do then the rating is based on those who would do that: note for note, no improvising.Difficulty: 7 Not too difficult for an intermediate guitar player. Not easy by any means, but fun and challenging.
