Highly Playable!

Mike Tolle presents an excellent sounding set of intros, outros and turnarounds inspired by blues great such as Robert Johnson, Freddie King, Big Bill Broonzy and others - and they are mostly not that difficult to master with a little application. A really helpful collection of lessons.
