100 Classic Rock Licks for Guitar: Learn 100 Rock Guitar Licks In The Style Of The World’s 20 Greatest Players (Learn How to Play Rock Guitar)

Enjoying this book! In addition to great licks, it also has snippets of interesting rock history

I just started reading the book and I can’t seem to put it down. it’s great that I can download audio files for free also. That’s a big plus. I’ll be getting more books as soon as I consume this one

Has a pretty good list of licks from different artist, wish it had more of each licks of songs, but you do get it in note and tab formula, more history of artist, backing tracks are pretty generic, just ok nothing to really get excited about! Only a four star rating!

This book is almost a rock history book and a riffs book all in one! When I was first looking through the book after it arrived, I wasn't sure I knew all the rock guitarists it had mentioned in the table of contents (there are around 25 guitar artists listed), but once you to the page where the artist is listed-you see which band that person was/is in. You learn a lot about the guitarists and you get notated riffs and tablature, along with theoretical information about what that artist is playing as well. If you want to learn more than just what your fingers need to play, this book is for you! Plus their website has great videos as well.

Generally, with all the Joseph Alexander music books, they include tracks to play with or against and video examples of the technic or riff you are studying. These can really help if you also put in effort. Sometimes I even think to myself, "Oh, okay, so that's done this way, with just a little tweak I can do..." And it often works.Good solid Value IMO

The author covers 20 of some of the greatest rock guitarists with a small bio and several licks in the style of their music, along with recordings of the licks themselves. The recordings are crucial because in many cases you can't get the feel for the guitarists style from TAB alone. The author captures their style well without it being exactly what they played, so it really informs you about their style of play in general.Just a great book that I go back to again and again to learn about the guitarists and how their styles are unique to them! You can use this book in bits and pieces for years.

I really have enjoyed this book. What I think it does best is demystifies the style that a lot of my favorite players use. Before using this book I had a hard time picking out licks and riffs from recordings, but knowing the scales and types of licks a player uses a lot helps. After I learned the five Eric Clapton licks I was able to sit down and put on Strange Brew by Cream and figure out most of fills and licks in the song by ear. I've got the 100 blues licks book to and look forward to working through it. I'm a big fan and convert of this method of learning guitar. Learning the common vocabulary of Rock/Blues/Country is what I was missing in my playing.

Not very in depth. Gives you a two bar lick. Better to buy a songbook with the entire guitar solo if you want to study someone's playing. I've bought four of Joseph Alexander's books, and decided I'm not impressed.
