the guitarist in my band has been using that book the last couple months...every time i see him he tells me how good it is. he is not a beginning guitarist, but is new to blues. been faking it for 18 months or so but now working with the school of the blues method and learning the real stuff...like i said, he keeps telling me how good it is...and i gotta say the band is sounding better too!
