Nichael said Not the book it claims to be.. I was really disappointed in this book. It claims to present a "detailed analysis" of each song; in fact it does nothing of the sort. Instead it has a few (at most three, often only one) short passages (typically two or three measures) accompanying each song, giving brief "performance notes" (on the order of a half-dozen lines of text) for each passage.To pick two features that I found particularly troublesome about the commentary: 1] As brief as the comments are, a lot of space is wasted; for example, rather than indicating left-hand fingering using a standard notation (for example, the standard "1-"Not the book it claims to be." according to Nichael.

If you truly want to get to know RJ's style and penetrate its surface, this facilitates your assimilation. It doesn't work without the transcription book, though.This book is full of subtle, detailed expositions of Robert Johnson's music. It is an academic text, and perhaps not necessary for the casual player. However, it contains a wealth of information that is crucial to knowing the music, as well as knowing the approach to the transcriptions, which are intricate and raise many questions for the careful guitarist. It is a terrific reference/textbo. Make sure you know what your getting before ordering hayden_kee i bought this book from amazon.ca, and when i got it in the mail, i was very disapointed to find that it was only about 70 pages long and only had a few bars of music for each robert johnson song covered. If you want a book that is very heavy on theory, this is it - but it won't give you the tabs you want, so i would recomend looking into robert johnson the new transcriptions (ISBN: 0793589193). it's a few bucks more, but a way better book.hayden kee
