Do you love blues guitar? This is the best:
The Blues You Can Use series is the best I've ever seen but its not for absolute beginners. I like to take students thru RockShop I, Power Chords, & Rock Shop II before going into the Blues You Can Use books. I also use the first book in this series for my Rock students as its great for lead technique and for memorizing all 5 pentatonic patterns.
A comprehensive source designed to help guitarists develop both lead and rhythm playing. Covers: Texas, Delta, R&B, early rock and roll, gospel, blues/rock and more. Includes 21 complete solos; chord progressions and riffs; turnarounds; moveable scales and more. CD features leads and full band backing. Includes "tab" tablature notation.
This comprehensive follow-up to Blues You Can Use is designed to help players develop their lead and rhythm techniques. Covers: pentatonic scales, single-note tremolo, double-string bends, reverse bends, shuffle rhythms, 6th and 9th chords, boogie patterns, chord substitutions, vibrato techniques, chord accents, voice leading, arpeggios, rakes, blues runs and more! Examples are in standard notation and TAB, and the CD includes 23 full-band tracks. Includes "tab" tablature notation.
