John Mayall with Eric Clapton - Blues Breakers Reviews:
Fantastic 
2009-11-16 - The tab is right on, and really what else is there to say. If you're reading this review you already know what a great album this is. This tab has really helped me learn blues guitar. Don't hesitate. Get this. You won't regret it.
great way to learn your blues chops
2007-05-11 - i have been studying blues guitar for the last 2 years now. i've a number of books on the subject. i've progressed reasonably working with them.
then i got this book. learnt a couple of songs. and my playing has simply jumped a notch!
yeah because i'm playing what i want to play - being a huge clapton fan (bluesbreakers, cream etc). plus clapton is playing in such ways i never encountered in the tutorial books. his chops are simpler but much more effective. but some of his runs are quite difficult - not the mere playing of the notes, but the effect created by such.
i'm never going to play what's in the tutorial books anywhere - but this is what i want to play and it is such great fun doing it.
i can't comment too much on the accuracy of the tab - it sounds ok - trying to figure out the notes with the actual solos is itself quite a job - i recorded all the solos of this album in triplicate on a tape to use them as a reference. but guess it will get easier as i progress.
it would be very helpful if you know atleast some basic blues - the 12 bar, the pentatonics etc. needless to say, as with all blues learning, one should focus on the tonic (1st), the dominant (4th) and sub-dominant (5th) notes and the way they are manipulated to create the blues effect.
if you want to play like clapton get this.
btw i wish somebody would publish similar tabs of the music of the great peter green - his album with mayall 'a hard road' and his early fleetwood mac material as well.
Essential for any blues guitarist
2007-03-31 - i play along with the recordings, the tabs are dead on.
Clapton is God and So is Mayall
2006-08-14 - Anyone wanting to learn core Clapton needs this book. It is well done with most tab appearing to be right on. Obviously some songs are Harp based, with Mayall laying down soem of his best work. Love it.
great tabs
2003-11-14 - Basiclly every blues lick you need to know is here :-)
