As it says, I'm after a book to set me off in the right direction with blues keys/scales/chords etc starting with the assumption that I am a dimwitted twat who knows sweet FA about it. I have one book about blues chords which goes rapidly from explaining basic theory to chords with very long names and about 9 notes in them AND suggests playing them all over the fretboard - we are not getting on. So recommend me a primer, a book which explains the relationship between the commonest blues chords and scales, shows them and which might be understood by someone who learns stuff in a series of eureka moments, rather than absorbing it bit by bit.
I will be in the west end tomorrow and could probably buy it then, so no hesitation please chaps.

Can't speak from personal experience though...

Haven't read it but was chatting to him the other day about jazz blues, and he's clearly very interested and into the subject so I bet it's a good read. And his new cd is bloody excellent. So giving you a wiz anyway.
