Excellent intermediate book from Tim Lerch
Excellent book from Tim Lerch that breaks down solos by the phrase and gives solid context for practicing. The solos are first-rate pieces to learn and then to incorporate into your own vocabulary.
The book comes with 4GB of downloads: videos, backing tracks, Guitar Pro files, and bonus material. You’re buying an entire course’s worth of material for $25 and if you sit down with the book, carefully analyze the solos, transpose a bit and fold the phrases into your own playing, you’re going to be busy for months or, frankly, longer.

Tim Delivers!
The supporting audio and video files are worth the price of admission! Where can one get this amount of information – and a book to boot – for such a great price?
I always use an old friend’s advice, “if you learn just one thing out of a music book that you’ll take with you, then it’s worth the purchase”, and this book and files contain many things that I’ll take with me in my playing.

All features are great
I have played guitar for 40years and spent many 100’s of pounds on private lessons and tutorials.
Finally I have found a book that will always remain open. Im sure I will return to it again and again as I continue to develop as a musician.
I was introduced to Tim’s excellent playing via his YouTube channel and immediately recognised a playing style that I wanted to emulate.
No matter where you consider your own playing to be, either beginner to advanced, there is a vast amount of useful information.

Tim knows of what he speaks
Tim is not only a virtuoso guitarist he also has the gift of clarity which is rare in the world of music and musicians. I suggest that this publication is a must have resource for players of all levels. Congratulations Tim and Luke!

Book and Online Bonus Material!
Tim Lerch (a blues and jazz guitar master in his own right) is a fantastic educator who unselfishly conveys his knowledge and wisdom with clarity. All three books are excellent and come accompanied with much appreciated video and audio files (easy to download from the GuitarVivo site). Just great!

Exceptional reference book.
The book is set out logically and the concepts are easy to understand. Executing them is down to you. I find that I’m constantly pausing the performance track to soak in a line, marvel at the touch and sense of timing but most of all the musicality of what I’ve heard.
Hope this helps but you really can’t go wrong with any of Tim Lerch books.

Words Can’t Describe
I’ve been playing guitar for well over 50 years, and blues-rock isn’t a problem, but I wanted to add more melodic quality to my playing. I have tremendous respect for Tim’s talent but I didn’t expect to get so much out of this book. I would describe myself as an intermediate player, not a beginner but not a pro. This book is perfect. Well written, easy to understand. Tim’s playing is smooth and fluid; fast in spots, but not so fast that it can’t be handled. The backing track band is perfect, not too much and not to loud. You can easily hear and follow the chord changes, and easily hear the lead playing.

Outstanding Value
I love the way Tim plays the blues. I purchased this book after watching the video where it was announced. I have been playing since the 60’s and I think this is the best book on playing blues lead guitar I have, and I have acquired many over the years. It is a gold mine. I have just started to scratch the surface, and I plan to spend a lot of time with it. There is so much content and the videos, audio files and other content that you can download after purchase is such a plus. This book and all that comes with is an amazing value.

Teacher is a Guru
I love Tim Lerch’s teaching approach. In all media forms, particularly the videos, which support this book, I can feel, and therefore have the potential to absorb, the passion for the instrument and for the material he presents. I hope there will be many more to follow eg. Breaking away from blues and leaning into ballads would be nice. Over to you Tim!
