Something I need to work on more is my arpeggios. This book definitely is on my wish list for two reasons. Firstly I like the title, Fluid Soloing, if the book itself represents that simple title then I already think it’s worth a look. Secondly, I’m sold on the amazon reviews, this sounds like just what I’m looking for. Read more…

I must admit, I don’t own a single book by Dave Rubin but I’m definitely going to be checking him out. He has a few books on offer and they mostly get good (although few) reviews. This one caught my attention just because of the title. 8 Bar Blues, now there’s something I bet a lot of us don’t practice as much as we should.

25 Authentic Leads Arranged for Guitar in Standard Notation and Tablature
Author: Dave Rubin
