There is a wealth of information in this book, but the author failed to connect with me on a fundimental level. I have to admit that I'm pretty new to the keyboard and still wrestling with some of the music theory, so it is probably harder for me to grasp and understand some of the concepts that the author tries to present. When going through this book, I found the amount of material and details distracting at times. I personally do better with a few pieces of information, with a focused example and accompanying exercise. I found myself having to remind myself to get past all the details and just try to get into the exercises. Despite the issues I personally have with using this book right now, it does contain a wealth of information and I'm open to revisiting it once I progress in my playing and knowledge of theory. I'm simply not sure its best book for the beginning keyboardist that wants to learn the blues. As an alternative, I purchased "Improvising Blues Piano", by Tim Richards, and extremely pleased with his teaching style and how it presents its material.Get more detail about Blues Piano: Hal Leonard Keyboard Style Series (Keyboard Instruction).
