This new edition of three Easy To Bluff guides will teach you everything you need to convince people you are an expert at Blues, Rock and Acoustic Guitar. With tips on how to get the right gear, know the right trivia and sound like the genuine article, this guide is an invaluable asset to any aspiring (and work-shy) guitarist who wants to get good fast!

Every electric guitar player likes rock music, but how many of us actually own a rack full of classic rock albums? What's the easiest way to be the best player in the guitar shop? Never mind... It's Easy To Bluff gives you all the skills you need! Learn to play some impressive licks and riffs, discover everything you need to hold your own at any rock gig, and learn how to set your amp so that you impress your mates and annoy the neighbours at the same time.

Every guitar player loves the blues, but how many of us were actually born into poverty in Mississippi? And can anyone honestly claim to have heard the complete recordings of Charley Patton? Never mind... It's Easy To Bluff gives you all the skills you need! Learn to play some impressive blues licks, and discover how to look the part and hold your own in any blues conversation.

We'd all like to say we understand jazz, but how many of us really know the difference between a Wes Montgomery and a Joe Pass solo? Who's got the time to study all those complicated chords? Where can you actually buy one of those little round Pork Pie hats? Never mind... It's Easy To Bluff gives you all the skills you need! Learn to play some impressive riffs and solos, and discover everything you need to hold your own at any jazz gig.

Most electric guitar players like their music heavy, but how many of us really know the difference between Doom and Death metal? Which bands' riffs are cool, and which ones will get you laughed out of the guitar shop? Never mind... It's Easy To Bluff gives you all the skills you need! There's a guide to all the different types of metal, with - most importantly - a coolness rating for each one. Learn to play some impressive licks and riffs and discover everything you need to hold your own at any metal gig.

Every guitarist has played the acoustic at one time or another, but how many of us really sound any good unplugged? Why do we all play the same three chords when we pick up an acoustic guitar? Isn't life too short to learn all those fancy finger patterns and open tunings? Never mind... It's Easy To Bluff gives you all the skills you need! Learn to play some impressive licks and chords, discover you can bluff your way through the cruellest campfire sessions, and find out exactly why Streets Of London will get you thrown out of any folk club in the land.

We all want to improve our music theory, but how many of us actually have the time to study it? Practising our instrument is difficult enough on its own. Never mind! It's Easy To Bluff gives you all the skills you need! You'll learn the basics of music theory without the need for extreme classical notation, plus tips on chord construction, aural skills, scales and keys. All the music jargon you'll come across is translated into plain, simple English. There's even (yes!) a complete idiot-proof guide to reading music.

A Blues Bibliography, Second Edition is a revised and enlarged version of the definitive blues bibliography first published in 1999. Material previously omitted from the first edition has now been included, and the bibliography has been expanded to include works published since then. In addition to biographical references, this work includes entries on the history and background of the blues, instruments, record labels, reference sources, regional variations and lyric transcriptions and musical analysis. The Blues Bibliography is an invaluable guide to the enthusiastic market among libraries specializing in music and African-American culture and among individual blues scholars.
