Author: Wayne Riker

Some authors and publishers really don't do themselves any favours. Browsing through the guitar books at amazon I found this, Blues Lead Guitar Solos by Wayne Riker. The only thing that caught my attention was on the tiny thumbnail of the cover it says "solos" right after the main title. I like books that just give hands on workouts, I'm rarely interested in anything more than short explanations or theory unless it's quite advanced, just give me licks, exercises and full solos to rip apart and get new ideas from, this way you're more likely to get something much more useful than the rehashed content you begin to expect from the majority of guitar books.

So anyway, this could be the kind of book I'm looking for so I scroll down the amazon page and what info can I find? Nothing! Just one short review giving it the thumbs up but not giving me much idea of what the book is about. A quick look at the "look inside" gives me only a few pages but the impression I get is I might like this book, just blues solo examples with quick side notes, perfect, shame they haven't done anything else to help me make my mind up. If anyone's got this book, would be great if you can leave a comment here. Still, either way it's on my wish list!
