You won't find anyone who knows more about the blues than Dave Rubin. Dave's
written hundreds
of columns for all of the major guitar mags, authored countless blues books
and has played with Son Seals, Chuck Berry, Johnny Copeland, Screamin' Jay
Hawkins, James Brown, Marvelettes, the Coasters and the Drifters, to name but
a few.

Rubin is also one of the very few to be awarded The Blues
Foundation's Keeping The Blues Alive Award.
 TrueFire and Rubin have cooked up dozens of blues lessons over the years,
but the Big Book of Blues is clearly our most ambitious
production to date with 124 interactive pages of blues insight and
instruction across 4 CD-Roms featuring 137 video elements and 166 lesson
examples.
Dave
Rubin's Big Book of Blues leverages our new interactive
player for both Windows and Mac with looping, zoom, speed and other useful
controls.
 The
Big Book examines the styles of Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, T-Bone
Walker, Buddy Guy, Albert King, Howlin' Wolf, B.B. King, Freddie King,
Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Steve Cropper and many more top
blues artists.
Virtually every style of blues and blues-influenced
guitar is touched on: Delta Blues, Texas Blues, Chicago Blues,
Boogie-Woogie, Blues-Rock, Brit-Blues, Rockabilly, Country Blues, classic
R&B, Jump Blues, Cool Blues, early Rock 'n Roll and more.
The Big Book covers intros, turnarounds, double stops, bottleneck,
open tunings, 6/9 chords, partial chords and substitutions, bending, bass
lines, vamping, soloing, blues boxes, organ vamps, jamming tips, great tone,
triple stops, fills, blues forms, fingerstyle blues and more blues
essentials.
Here's how Big Book of Blues works …
 We
selected 58 of Rubin's most popular articles and lessons and beefed them up
with extra tips, anecdotes and history.
 All
166 of the lesson examples are presented in PowerTab format in an
easy-to-use interactive manual.
 137
cherry-picked video examples are presented in the TrueFire player to
illustrate key lesson examples.

complete blues solos are broken down phrase-by-phrase by Rubin with
