This book was a delight and a challenge to put together. Stefan wanted to highlight the playing of six blues players that have greatly influenced him: Big Bill Broonzy, Lonnie Johnson, Rev. Gary Davis, Blind Blake, Scrapper Blackwell and Tampa Red. Each has recorded wonderful instrumental solos that have been transcribed from the first note played to the last. These are complete transcriptions. Hopefully they will bring insight into the playing ideas and techniques of these legendary players. Titles and artists included are:

GARY DAVIS Bill Bailey, Walkin’ Dog Blues; LONNIE JOHNSON Blues for the West End, Blues in G, Woke Up With the Blues in My Fingers; ​TAMPA RED Things ’Bout Coming My Way.
