User Ratings and Reviews

4 Stars Excellent basic licks book
I disagree with the individual that rated this book as a run of the mill licks book. I have a lot of licks books, too, and this one is definitely better than most. Artie’s material, while mostly basic, is very useful in that it shows how even basic licks, when used tastefully, can make for excellent music. Most lick books just present static licks that may or may not have any relation to one another. Artie puts this material together in a way you can use musically and build on it to create your own music. My only criticism is that he goes through it all pretty quickly and it’s sometimes hard to tell exactly where he is in the tab, but that’s pretty minor. This book is really great when used along with Happy and Artie’s Jam Along Blues dvd’s. This book/dvd is definietly the best one I have for overall usefulness musically.

5 Stars Great Book!!
I’ve been playing for about four years, and I found this book and CD incredibly helpful. No fluff or unecessary information. Artie Traum has a gentle and non-egotistical style, and he explains the riffs simply and thoughtfully and then plays them. I read along in the book, then stopped the CD and played them myself. I found the riffs fun and even more fun when I could use the “building blocks” to build my own riffs. I highly recommend the book, especially considering the low price.

2 Stars Just Another Riff Book
I have about seven years on the guitar and am always looking for new material to study. I ordered this book, flipped through it a few times, and put it on the shelf with about twenty other books that cover the exact same ground. Just your generic, run-of-the-mill, riff collection. The majority of the riffs are just scale runs in different keys! I suppose if you’re just getting started and looking for blues/rock ideas this may work (though there are thousands of these types of books out there).

5 Stars This is a must have for beginning to advanced guitar
Artie does an excellent job in giving a blue collar description of essential guitar riffs for the acoustic guitar. I got a great deal out of it and I have been playing for 23 years. Well worth the investment. CD comes with it and helps the learning process greatly. A++

Nashville Country Lead Guitar




This book/CD set features 25 twangy intermediate-to-advanced solos in the classic honky tonk style. If you love the sound of a twangy Telecaster guitar, you will enjoy learning the solos in this book. It is the best classic country solos book available!

This is an intermediate to advanced book for players having basic skills. However, a brave and ambitious beginner might be able to tackle the slower solos.

The solos contain many great LICKS and IDEAS that can be used by a creative onstage country guitarist.

All solos are written in TAB and standard notation, and recorded on the companion CD.

Few styles of music have enjoyed the widespread and enduring popularity of country music. Through the years, country music has developed from the rural Southern string band sound to the raw honky-tonk of the postwar period, the Nashville pop sounds of the late 50s and 60s, and finally the overly slick commercial sound of today.

The solos in this book sound like the breaks one might hear on classic recordings by Merle Haggard, Buck Owens, Lefty Frizell, George Jones, and similar artists who defined the exciting honky-tonk sound of the 50s to late 60sbefore rampant commercialism eliminated virtually all originality and feeling from popular country guitar solos.

Several hundred popular country recordings were researched to come up with the 25 chord progressions in this book. Each progression was found to be common to several popular songs.

A solo incorporating various concepts and techniques was composed to each progression. The result is an authentic sounding collection of country guitar solos through which various ideas can be analyzed.

5 Stars Good, solid book
I’m glad I found this book. I used to have one of the earlier printings a few years ago and I really enjoyed it. For the last several months I’ve been trying to hunt down a copy of it, so I was very happy to see it available again here recently. This book is good and solid in that it covers a wide variety of country “flavors” such as fast single-note soloing, double-stops, pedal-steel type licks, bluesy sounds and string snapping. It’s a great collection of classic and contemporary sounds. The price was great and it came with a cd that also includes rhythm parts to play along with.

5 Stars A country work out!
I obtained this book to help with my country chops and give me some new ideas for my own solos in a country setting. Mission accomplished! The book contains 25 solos over a variety of classic country chord progressions. This book is definitely geared towards the intermediate level player - I found several of the solos to be challenging and I’ve been playing for several years. I will likely end up using a few of the solos as technique exercises as they are excellent chop builders. And I’ve already found myself incorporating some of the licks in the solos in my own improvised solos.

Like the other books I have by Larry McCabe the notation and symbols are explained in depth. The book also contains suggested listening for various country styles and instruments. The included CD contains a recording of each solo, as well as just the rhythm changes (guitar, bass, drums) for each solo so the user can play by himself/herself over the changes.

A friend just got a call to go on a short tour with a country band (not his usual genre). I will be loaning him this book to help with his country chops, and I hope he doesn’t keep it too long. Great book!

User Ratings and Reviews

2 Stars easy to play, awful to sing
While these songs are relatively easy to play for beginning guitarists, I bought the book so I could play and sing with my young son. Except for a couple of the songs, I found the key the songs were written in made them very hard to sing.

4 Stars Well written and chosen children’s songs for beginners
This is a good collection of easy to play songs, definitely appropriate for kids under 10. Worth checking out.

1 Star horrible
All songs are transmographied, nothing sounds like the original.

I need my money back.

4 Stars Useful for beginners
I’m very much a beginning guitarist and this book is well within my range. It offers some fairly easy to play melodies and the songs are some that my own children recognize and can sing, making it enjoyable for all of us. If you’re looking for a book to stretch your guitar skills, this isn’t it, but if you just want to learn some fun songs your children might like too, this is great!

5 Stars Great book!
This is really a great idea, and well executed. My 8-year-old daughter has really enjoyed it, and has learned just about all the songs. Learning folk songs they already know and enjoy is a good way to get younger kids started. The book provides easy-to-read tablature in addition to standard notation so they can play the melodies, and chord symbols so they can practice their rhythm chops as well. The songs require only a few chords, and are simple to play. It includes a reasonable range of keys with chords easier to play — there are none of those F chords that are hard for little hands to master! I’ve had a blast playing the chords while she plays the melody and vice versa. Even if you can play just a little bit of guitar, you can have a great experience with your child. The companion CD adds another level of instruction, so the child can hear the music. This is another fine product from String Letter Publishing — I’ve found their products to be at a consistently high standard.

Like Hound Dog Taylor, J.B. Hutton, and Elmore James? Then you will like this book.

5 Stars Like Sitting in With a Chicago Blues Band

I have been wanting to learn slide guitar for a long time. My teacher suggested this book and it is as helpful as he said it would be. The material is well-organized and includes everything a beginning slide player needs, including diagrams that serve as valuable roadmaps for open E tuning.

The slide licks sound just like the ones played by Elmore James, Hound Dog Taylor, Robert Nighthawk, and others on the classic blues records of the 1950s to mid 1960s. Some of the licks sound like Taj Mahal. The great thing is that a good blues band with a singer is playing model blues songs on the CD, so you are learning licks that you will actually be able to use in the blues songs you play. The singer on this CD is amazing-he sounds like Ray Charles.

I love that the entire book is arranged in the key of E. And the licks are smooth, tasteful, and accessible. The book gave me immediate confidence and familiarity with open E tuning. It is a lot of fun to play along with the CD - I feel like I’m sitting in with a blues band in a smoky bar on the Southside of Chicago. Very highly recommended.

5 Stars back in print
This author had a similar book out with another publisher, but it is out of print, and quite expensive used. I understand that the author owns this publishing company, so I doubt if it will disappear. Good thing too. I have gone through three copies of the old book. They keep “disappearing”.

I teach people how to play slide, although I’m not at all scary doing it. This book is my secret weapon. It’s simple and all in one tuning, but not too simple. They (the licks) are what musicians call “solid”. By the time you work your way through the book, you hopefully have an ear, and trust me, that’s what slide requires. Then you play with the licks and make them your own. Most people have figured out where to go by the time they finish. I always recommend stealing solos from harmonica players when they get through this book. I’m glad it’s back.

5 Stars Good licks for real songs
I am a guitarist who has played in blues and rock bands and I have been working on slide guitar technique. I am very pleased with this book. Everything is here for anyone who wants to learn how to play blues slide guitar licks in the context of a blues band.

The licks are played in actual blues songs that follow standard chord progressions. I have already found ways to work the licks into songs by Muddy Waters, Elmore James, etc. Great book and I recommend it to others.

5 Stars The “1″ Guitar Book
I find this book The “Next Stage” Guitar Book easy to read and understand. Most of all the patterns in this book are moveable and has made my lead guitar playing more exciting. Also we have found out that these patterns can also be used on the bass guitar as well.

4 Stars Music Library “Must Have”…..
This is a great follow-up to Chris Lopez’ “First Stage” guitar book for beginners. I am in the transition stage; going from beginner to intermediate in my playing and not only do I take lessons one hour per week, but I also go back to these books for the basics. They are easy to follow, and will help you remember the basics of playing that guitar….

5 Stars The Best Guitar Tutorial I’ve Seen
The best guitar tutorial I’ve seen-excellent chord charts are easy to use, with logical progression that make it easy to locate desired chord. Simple and straight forward.

5 Stars A Fantastic Way To Learning How To Play Scale Patterns
It’s hard to believe that learning scale patterns could be made so easy. The “Next Stage” Guitar Book is great. It also includes easy to understand tabs and standard notation. What a great deal and savings on private lessons. A Must Get!

5 Stars Picks up where the “First Stage” book left off
This book continues to present the need to know, nuts and bolts information that’s necessary to play the guitar. This second book builds on the first by introducing the reader to scales and how to play the scales from many different positions on the fretboard. There’s enough info in this book to keep a person busy for a long, long time, but again it’s given in an easy to comprehend format that seeks not to confuse, but to provide a practical, down to earth guide to making some music with your guitar. Don’t miss out on this unique book.

Blues guitar teachers, serious students, and blues band guitarists will all enjoy his large collection of 100% pure blues and boogie solos for guitar. Twenty-five exciting solos are presented here, each played over its own rhythm progression.

Guitar teachers might use the book to introduce new hand positions, fingerings, chords, and theoretical concepts.

The solos are relatively challenging, and can be used in blues jams and on stage. Prospective buyers are encouraged to use the Search Inside Book feature to examine the contents and music pages prior to purchase.

Another SUPER COOL and USEFUL music book by Larry McCabe and Red Dog Music Books.

5 Stars Perhaps the Best Urban Blues Lead Guitar Book Available
This very fine book has been in print in one form or another since the early-to-mid 1980s. Not many music books remain in print that long, but this is an exceptional collection of model solos in the urban blues style.

The book is quite popular with music teachers (as evidenced by the other reviews) and it is enjoyable and productive for students as well. The book is aimed at the ambitious early intermediate student, and a few of the solos will challenge an intermediate guitarist.

There are 25 full-length solos in the book, each written in notation and tablature, and each recorded note-for-note on the accompanying CD. The band on the CD is excellent. There are five solos in C, five in G, five in D, five in A, and five in E. The solos are played to standard blues progressions, meaning that they may be “plugged in” to similar blues progressions that are found in many, many songs.

The solos sound exactly like the solos heard on real blues records. They are varied and performed with taste, authenticity, and feeling. You can hear why the author was a columnist for Living Blues Magazine and why his work has received consistently high reviews in a number of guitar magazines.

Great book, highly recommended.

5 Stars Back in print
The author of this book, Larry McCabe, is re-releasing books that have gone out of print for one reason or another. This particular book is an old friend. After I received it, I went into my library and found a copy. It has been in print in one form or another for 25 years. Most instruction books don’t last anywhere near that long. First, this book (as the author warns) is not for beginners. You need to be familiar with the movable blues scales we all use. If you are playing out, and feel comfortable with the whole neck, get this book. The style of lead is closer to Gatemouth Brown and Freddie King than anyone else. If you don’t know who these men are, buy their CDs. You are in for a treat. Please read the author’s introduction. There is a lot of good info there. The Tab system is the older style. It should take about 30 seconds to adjust. It’s actually easier to read than the current form. If you consider yourself a Rock guitarist instead of Blues, you really could use this book. If you use these solos as a “how to”, instead of just memorizing them, they will give you some new weapons. You know, for scaring the heck out of other guitarists.

5 Stars very good book
I wish all music instruction books were written in this format. The song tabs just go from one page to the next without a bunch of talking/writing in between, and the song numbers in the book actually match the song numbers on the cd…what a rare and unique idea! Of course, none of that would matter if the material were bad, but that’s not the case, the solos are great - quite diverse too. There is a lot of helpful information in this book: theory, writing your own solos, a guide to blues styles and artists,etc. - but it’s all in it’s own section of the book, not sprinkled throughout the book here and there making it impossible to find. As a full time guitar instructor I would just like to say “great job”, “great blues solos” and “great, easy to use format”. Thanks.

5 Stars So many great country licks!
I just finished playing every lick in this book over the course of several days. Why so long? I found that with about every other lick new ideas would be sparked or they would tie into licks I already play and I’d create new licks! This is exactly the type of instructional book I really love - one that is a spark that starts a raging fire of creativity.

The notation in the book is very well explained and there are great suggestions for students in the intro section. The intro section also includes an example of how various licks in the book can be used in a standard country song. The final section of the book would be an excellent resource for someone looking for suggested listening in the country genre, from the 1920’s to the present and all styles. I do agree with the reviewer who said the piano was a little high in the mix on the CD, however it is only in one channel and a quick adjustment of the balance knob on the stereo was all it took to make the mix perfect.

The licks are arranged in sections for playing over standard country chord changes and transitions. There are also some great into and outro licks. Even if the user of this book has been playing coutry for years they will likely get something out of it. This book was recommended to me and I’m so glad I got it. Now I will recommend it to you.

5 Stars It’s back, and about time
I own a copy of the original edition, and I guard it well. I use it to get students into Nashville electric guitar type music. I don’t move on to something more difficult until (a) they have them all down cold, and (b)They start altering them. These are starting points, not the final destination. I agree with another reviewer who said that these licks are hard enough to be interesting and simple enough not to discourage the person learning. I once picked up a book of Albert Lee licks, and I couldn’t believe that Albert could play them. (of course he can, but he’s not human) If you are looking for help on your way to being scary, this is the right book. Learn the licks dead cold, and then make them yours.

4 Stars Good meat and potatos stuff
This is a collection of really standard “Honky Tonk”, Bakersfield telecaster style licks. If you allready play guitar and want to play/explore this style or classic country in general, this book will get you there.

What i liked: 1) the tracks on the cd match numerically the licks in the book i.e. “lick 34″ is “track 34″ sounds simple but a lot of books screw this up. 2) spiral bound!! Yay! Lays flat. 3) Everything is in one key. (C)Licks are presented as going from the I chord to the IV, V to IV etc. And 90% of the licks are easily moved around the neck for other keys. (If this makes sense to you, you’ll like this book)

4) The material is intermediate, meaning not too simple and not too difficult. Too many of these type collections are simply too flashy. This one is useful and playable.

What I don’t like..1) Piano is used to keep time with the guitar on the cd. Piano is mixed too loud. 2) A few examples of the lcks used in a complete solo would be helpful.

Really, overall, this is a good deal. The licks fall inot three catagories for me. Ones that I allready know, others that are variations of things I play, and finally ones that make me say “Wow. That’s simple, but sounds sooooo good! Why Didn’t I think of that?”

A number one teaching tool for the rockabilly genre.Paul breaks it all down nice and easy giving you everything you need to get that authentic feel in your playing.I heard about this dvd from all the rave reviews on the gretsch pages forum and decided to give it a whirl.It is everything they say and more.Much to my surprise i found out he lives in my town.After seeing a few of his shows i whould say he is easily one of the premier guitarists in the billy\swing\bob genre.If you were to buy only one instructional dvd,this would be it.

I am actually learning great material and I feel like I am getting better at playing rockabilly guitar. Thanks to Paul Pigat.

Another review stated that the video could use some tab - the complete tab is included on the dvd as a pdf. If you don’t have a pc there is a link you can use to download the tab. Great video. Highly recommended. I hope Paul put’s out more Rockabilly videos.

4 Stars pigat rockabilly dvd
pretty good production. could use some sheet music/tab included with it. i liked it enough to pick up the travis picking dvd. i haven’t practiced with it much yet, but it seems better taught than the brian setzer hotlicks tutorial from the 80’s

5 Stars Best place to start
Rockabilly guitar is not an easy style to master, and any beginner to the guitar will struggle. However if you really want the good stuff this is the DVD to buy, my other recommendation would be the similar titles by Jim Weider.

Please, please, please avoid the title by Troy Dexter, who trys to simplfy the process so much it no longer sounds like Rockabilly, for more look at my review of the product.
