I can't understand for the life of me, why the author did not fully transcribe the examples on the CD. This would have been so easy. Instead, he plays something on the cd and writes something else in notation for a good part of the book.Sometimes some measures are accurate then others aren't. Also, I'm up to the chapter on rock blues and in the first example he mistakenly puts a treble clef where a bass cleff should have gone (on the upper staff of the two staff notation). I mean, come on..really now.

This could have been a good book if only the author would have simply written out, in notation, the examples on the CD. He constantly states that you should "go out" and create your own style. But if you're new or intermediate to blues isn't better to learn other people's riffs first and then take it from there?
The author acts as if he is scared that people may steal his rifs so he doesn't fully transcribe them in the book. I mean, come on. Just give us the notes for the riffs and songs on the CD. What's the purpose of the CD then? To listen to background music as we read the book?

This is not a book for beginners or even intermediate players. I have taken piano for 10 years and I was mystified by much of the theoretical information. Turns out even my piano teacher, who majored in theory, had difficulty figuring out what was going on. What became clear as we puzzled it out was that Mann often left out steps in theoretical reasoning, or bent classical theory rules, or threw in some esoterica that even someone advanced in theory would find challenging. If it weren't for my piano teacher's help, I would have been at a loss and very frustrated. As it was, I wonder what Mann can have been about. Is he one of those who can play but not explain the steps in a learnable fashion? Or is he out to dazzle the poor initiate? With my teacher's help, however, I have learned a lot about theory applied to blues style and this and the exercises have been quite useful. I didn't find the CD much help, since the text is not keyed well to the CD. However, Mann plays a compelling blues piano. Wish I could play like him. Final assessment:This book will deepen your experience with blues theory significantly but isn't easily accessible or user friendly.

great book - insightful teaching

I think the reviewers are being a little harsh on this book. It never professes to be a 'Blues Piano for the complete beginner' text - it's called 'Improvising Blues Piano' which implies that a certain amount of knowledge has already been reached. It's actually a pretty rare resource, because it is a very accomplished blues player offering his advice and personal tricks and methods for improving playing. More importantly the playing and taste on this cd sounds great and miles away from the plodding cliched beginners stuff on most collections.

Doubtless, the pressure was on him by the publishers to make some concession to the 'absolute beginners' audience but on the whole it's a great book/cd combo because it tries to teach stuff that music instruction books usually can't tell you - things like which scales real blues players prefer to improvise with, or good techniques for learning new intervals. If you've already done a beginners book and want to start playing stuff that actually sounds good then take this book on as a resource - you'll delve in and out of it but it'll be a good friend as you bring style and art to your playing.

The key to this book is in the title, "Improvising". If you're looking for hand-holding examples and complete scores this is not the book for you. If you want to get the big picture quickly and reinforce that with applied theory and excellent audio examples, then this book is perfect.

This book would be worth the price if it were reduced to three or four pages and the CD. All of the blues scales and fingerings are provided on one page (28). All of the popular blues forms (basic, gospel, jazz) and chord transitions along with a simple and straight-forward method of developing a blues style are provided on facing pages (84 - 85). Follow these with a review of important soloing ideas (29) and you're ready to play.

I am a drummer and had no trouble with the music theory sections. The comprehensive overview of the various blues forms was the roadmap I needed. This roadmap gave me the ability to quickly pick out bass lines and chord transitions from a recording and play enough on the keyboard to give a bass or keyboard player examples of the style and sound I'm looking for.

Martan Mann can most definately play piano. The accompanying CD may almost be worth the price to hear him play. However, you're looking for instruction if you're reading this. I don't want to slam his product too hard. I'll just say he doesn't teach well and there's not allot of real meat here for beginners. I've also purchased Andrew D. Gordon's 100 Ultimate Blues Riffs. Riffs in all keys with many many different basslines and virtually zero instruction. Then, finally, I got my hands on something I absolutely love and can recommend wholeheartedly to anyone without a vast musical background who wants to play the blues. Check out the book/cd combos level 1 and 2 by David Bennet Cohen. You won't be dissappointed. I just ordered "Improvising Blues Piano" by Tim Richards and am very excited about it as well. One more you might look into.
