Book Description

With enough hot licks to set the whole Lone Star state afire, this book details the solo styles of legendary guitarists, complete with essential stylistic details that make the music come alive. You get it all, from pioneers like T-Bone Walker, Freddie King, and Lightnin' Hopkins, through the next generation of innovators like Stevie Ray Vaughan, Billy Gibbons, and Johnny Winter, and on to latter-day explorers like Eric Johnson. You'll learn more than 100 licks in the authentic style of each player, each lick with its own mini-lesson, performed by the author at half and full tempo on the accompanying CD. Also features: a rundown of each player's guitars, amps and effects * lists of must-have tracks, albums and videos * revealing quotes from dozens of 6-string notables * essential tips on tone and style * insight-filled lessons.

Best Blues Book yet............2007-04-26

This book is excellent. Ideal for intermidiate level. A bit challenging for a beginner but I'd buy it anyway; if you have it at the right time in your growth it'll be invaluable to you. The Amazon description says that it plays at half tempo and at full tempo but I believe thats wrong, the riffs are only played once and at full tempo. But the description of how to play each example is so detailed you won't need to hear it slower. He even tells you the song you can find the lick in. So when you're listening to your own cd's, you'll identify the licks you've learned, which also helps you learn how to apply them. Out of all the books I've tried this one was by FAR the best.

BLUEStastic!!.......2007-04-03

I love this book! A really good mix..I love that they were hip enough to include Hopkins a very important early player who is so often overlooked. The CD and tab are wonderful. I will say that this will be difficult if you havn't been playin very long but I would still get it. I really wish they had books like this when I started playing in the early 70's...I would have been miles ahead!

Thank you for a great and informative volume.

The Official Scrabble Players Dictionary.......2007-09-06

I have enjoyed my book. It has increased my game. The book is in fine condition.

I'm sorry, but Qwerty is NOT a word........2007-09-06

I'm sorry, but Qwerty is NOT a word. Neither is "Herstory" or a good number of other stoopid werds in this aggravating book that - unfortunately - somehow got isself endorsed by Scrabble officials. The definitions are slim and in many cases, nonexistent. I thought Scrabble was supposed to be played in English? well, there's lots of foreign words in here too. "Barneys"?!?! That's a name. Furthermore, we've been playing Super Scrabble (twice the scores, twice the tiles, and twice the time - but BIG fun), and another aggravating "feature" is that this book does not contain any words longer than 8 characters - so you can fuggeddabout adding onto "Further" to make "Furthermore" - cause its not in here! This book gives me an Incredulity (11 letters - not in there!) socre of 75% and an Aggravation (also 11 letters - and not in there either!) score of 99%. Every time we play I want to do a Farenheit 451 on the damn thang!!!!

To many two-letter foriegn words, e.g. xi, xu, qi.......2007-09-02

I got this book because I was heading out on a month-long trip with some people I didn't know and they said they liked to play scrabble. I figured this would be the easy way to end all potential conflict between on this subject. It did that pretty well, but in part because we all did not like many of the words in this book.

I was especially appalled with the words Xi, xu, qi and others like that that converted scrabble from a game of leveraging your vocabulary to one of remembering odd otherwise-useless trivia about strange words.

The next time I play scrabble I am going to request that we either eliminate 2-letter words, or stick to ones that would have been in common english usage throughout the 20th century.

Best crossword dictionary.......2007-05-09

I truly enjoy the crossword dictionary. It is very bulky, but that's because it has thousands of word definitions. I saw them at Target and they were a few dollars more. Great buy through amazon!

Helpful, not great.......2007-03-21

My husband & I have discovered a newfound love for crossword puzzles and, well, needed some help. This dictionary was about 40-50% helpful when we absolutely had to "cheat". We did find a lot of other useful trivia that we learned while looking for answers. Not bad, not the best. Just average and okay. Price was about what it was worth.

I have never received this item!! I should have already received it!!

Why I was not completely satisfied.......2006-08-14

I have enjoyed Crossword puzzles for many years. Unfortunately I often need help. For assistance I have used "Webster's Offical Crossword Puzzle Dictionary," copyright 1981 by Merriam Co. Needless to say I needed an update dictionary. When I saw this book advertized I thought it was just what I needed and ordered it imnmediately. If I had seen a copy of this book first, I would never have ordered it. This book is impossible to read. All info is run together and difficult to dicipher.
I do like the fact that this dictionary includes the first names of authors, painters, Nobel prize winners etc. I guess you can't have everything?? I still use my dated dictionary and refer to my new one only when necessary.

If you're using the 1991 edition or the 1978 original, you're woefully behind the Scrabble-playing times. With more than 100,000 2- to 8-letter words, there are some interesting additions ("aargh," "aarrgh," and "aarrghh" are all legitimate now), while words they consider offensive are no longer kosher. Why subscribe to the Scrabble dictionary's changeable lexicon? Well, it ends the argument of whose dictionary to use, but the main reason is that it's the winner's dictionary, and why play Scrabble if not to win? Memorize those 2- and 3-letter words, and your Scrabble game becomes lethal.

Scrabble Players Dictionary.......2007-01-06

A wonderful tool for the scrabble players. Easy to use and handy to have

Mom's an avid Scrabble player.......2006-11-10

And she doesn't dare part with this to anyone. This is something she truly appreciates. The one thing that surprised her is that since it's in large print, the book is larger than the smaller print pocket version. She keeps it at home for safekeeping and enjoys it very much.

This book has been replaced by 4th edition!.......2006-10-12

Do NOT get this book -- which contains only the THIRD EDITION of the allowable Scrabble words. If you want the FOURTH EDITION, which is current up through its publication in late 2005, use this number to search Amazon's catalog: 0877796343 which will take you to the Fourth Edition, Large Print. For some reason, you can't find it by using words like "Scrabble Large Print" to find that edition -- you have to use the ISBN number.

Using the older edition might be okay if Amazon starts selling it at a discount; it's certainly good enough for friendly family games (in most families!) but won't get you where you need to go if you are playing competitively, and need the most current list of new coinages, acceptable 2-letter words, and q-words.

Large print scrabble dictionary.......2006-07-08

This dictionary is excellent to read and has definations that the smaller version does not have.

This book is out of date.......2005-10-22

I don't know why Amazon is still pushing the 3rd edition 4 months after the release of the 4th edition, which is much superior! The 4th edition is available on Amazon as well, but you have to look elsewhere for the large print (Walmart online has it).
