Reviews

[David Malmberg · Rating 5 out of 5]

Absolutely awesome!

I have several Ukulele instruction books that focus on the Blues in general, or some part like licks or turnarounds. This is the very best I have seen and used so far. That is high praise since I have high standards as far as anything Blues related. The audio available is truly icing on the cake!
