The Complete Blues & Ragtime Guitar Player by guitarist and author Russ Shipton is a guitar TAB songbook and sheet music collection exploring the traditions of blues, ragtime, folk-blues, and fingerstyle guitar through a broad repertoire of classic songs and instrumental studies. This collection brings together recognizable standards, traditional blues forms, syncopated ragtime-inspired pieces, and technical studies that reflect the rhythmic phrasing, melodic movement, and expressive character associated with American roots guitar styles.
The book includes guitar tablature and notation that support exploration of blues structures, ragtime rhythms, slide guitar textures, alternating bass accompaniment, and traditional fingerstyle techniques. The carefully organized progression moves through well-known titles and original studies while reinforcing timing, coordination, chord movement, and melodic phrasing in a practical musical context. With a wide-ranging repertoire that includes both instrumental pieces and blues standards, the collection remains engaging for regular playing, rehearsal, home music study, and informal performance.
