Challenging for my level of playing (intermediate), but the scores are as you hear them on the recordings. If you're looking for an easy play book, this is not for you. If you are in my position, between intermediate and advance, you will be challenged but with patience and determination... you will succeed.

I considered myself 'barely' a mid-level talent guitarist and I can tell you this book has definately helped put me comfortably in the 'mid-level plus' category. Now the big question is whether my playing really improved, or did just my confidence? But I guess it really doesn't matter since confidence is extremely important. It is difficult to find most of the recordings that this book was transcribed from - especially since he's done different versions of some of these songs. (I've only found 10 exact matches). But I just tried to adapt what was written to the version at hand - and that was very inspiring. I found myself creating my own licks at times, and playing my own solos along with B.B.. Between this book and the Freddie King book, I've really climbed out of the rut I was in.

There are 35 songs covered in the Anthology, spanning B.B King's entire career, including many of his classic tracks. Unfortunately there is no discography of the songs - which would have made obtaining the recordings much easier.
2 boxed sets may help:
The "King of the Blues" (Mca ASIN: B000002OMC 4 CDs) has 17 of the songs.
Another set "The Vintage Years" (Ace Records UK ASIN: B00005QX62 4 CDs) has 18 of the songs.
There is a great deal of overlap between the 2 boxed sets, but if you get both you will have 29 of the 35 titles from the Anthology.
