Excellent Resource for Developing R&B Guitarists
John Ganapes' 'Rhythm & Blues You Can Use' is a fantastic teaching tool. The 18 progressive lessons cover essential R&B rhythm and lead techniques, making it ideal for intermediate students. The inclusion of both notes and tab, along with clear explanations of syncopation and chord theory, really helps with reading and musicality. The online audio with PLAYBACK+ is an invaluable practice aid for students to develop their timing and feel. Highly recommended for structured learning!

Finally Sounding Authentic R&B!
I've been wanting to play proper R&B and blues guitar for ages, and this book by John Ganapes delivers! The lessons are easy to follow, and the mix of notes and tablature is perfect. Learning soul, funk, and doo-wop styles is so much fun, and the online audio really helps you get the feel right. The PLAYBACK+ feature to slow down parts without changing pitch is a game-changer for a weekend player like me. Highly enjoyable and effective!
