Halo Sheet Music: Muddy Waters - Deep Blues (Guitar Recorded Versions) [Paperback] Review

This collection of guitar transcriptions from the recorded works of Muddy Waters is, simply, a must have for any blues guitarist.In fact, any musician with an interest in fundamental American recorded music will findthis document to be a primary text for Chicago Blues, the development ofthe electic guitar, and the basic beginnings of American (and Brit) rock nroll.
Muddy Waters: Deep Bluescontains guitar transcriptions from 31songs performed and recorded by Waters and his sidemen from 1948's "ICan't Be Satisfied" to "Sad, Sad Day" off a 1981 session w/Johnny Winter.Studying these transcriptions has given me - a mediocreamateur - new insights into the varied styles of the famous sidemen likeJimmy Rogers and Buddy Guy and a newfound excitement in the discovery ofsome lesser-known and under-rated guitar gods.The transcription of EarlHooker's shimmering guitar on "You Shook Me" (1962) is aparticular treasure.
A general outline of Muddy's guitar style isexcellent; there are explanations of the Delta open G tuning, use of theslide, and illustrative samples of how other musicians treat Muddy's stylein their own fashions.This one of the most enjoyable and useful books ofmusic that I have ever encountered.
