Summary: Just Another Riff Book
Review: 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++

Review: 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).

Summary: Great Book!!
Review: 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.
