: I'm torn between buying two instructional materials: Rock-n-Blues by Gindick, which is praised heavily, and a book/video package by David Barrett, which I haven't yet heard any critiques of.
: So, I'm curious, has anyone heard of David Barrett and/or used his material? How would you critique it, and would you buy it in place of Gindick's book?
