Steves chunky; middle-of-the-neck Tele sound is always present; allowing you to hear nuances in his playing; even on studio versions of songs.Because his playing is always tasteful- he weaves in and out of the lead singers phrases; leaving plenty of space in the space on the arrangement; building anticipation. Its very subtle; and therefore helpful to have exact sheet music. He will show you when NOT to play!Because he played on incredible; all-time-classic recordings that are tons of fun to play along with.I subtracted one star because there are a few duds among the songs: In the Midnight Hour; Dreams to Remember; Lovers Prayer; and Mr. Pitiful are all fantastic songs to listen to; but the guitar parts are not interesting or complicated enough to merit sheet music. RB guitar is all about the fills and the syncopated rhythms; and those songs are played straight. Compare them to Direct Me; Knock on Wood; or Ole Man Trouble; which are dig in; play a million times; live-in-the-backbeat kind of songs.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. soul; nothing but soulBy roy aikenWhiteman with soul. Book should have had a cd tutorial with it because some of Steve Croppers fills for novice guitar players are difficult w/o being able to hear them first hand. Otherwise; the book was tops.
