Summary: Excellent Blues Slide Starting Book
Review: I completely disagree with the previous reviewer. Keith Wyatt, apart from being an outstanding guitar player, is an excellent blues guitar player too. When it comes to slide, he shows that he's brilliant in that too. This book is intended for those, who have an experience of playing blues guitar and want to get into slide. This book covers the subject very well (it's mostly BLUES slide book, but hey, it's what the slide is mostly good for), Keith shows you how to begin playing with slide (at first in standard tuning by the way), shows techniques and then he gets down to some pretty standard blues slide licks. I found this book to be very useful and don't consider that "Fretboard Roadmaps - Slide Guitar" is better simply, because like I said Keith is way better player, the feel, the tone, the licks, everything is better then in other book (I own both of them by the way). So if you are experienced in blues guitar and want to play blues slide, get this book, forget about Fretboard Roadmaps, which is kinda "slide in every style" book, with more open tunings explained frankly speaking, but with poor licks, poor sounding CD, and songs and licks repeated in several keys - gee, if you know how to play in any key, you'll be able to play same stuff almost in every key. The only reason I didn't give this book 5 stars, it's because it could be just a little bit more detailed with more exercises and licks. And those of you, who complain that no scales are given in this book, first learn how to play guitar generally and then get into slide.

Summary: Good for beginners, but nothing more...
Review: This book did not provide me with the information that I wanted. There were no scales given, just examples to play along with. For those looking to get into slide, I'd recommend Fretboard roadmaps, simply because it offers so much more, like scales, thorough explanations of examples and practice tracks to improvise with. Bottom line, skip this book and go straight for Fretboard roadmaps.
