Arakawa breaks his guide into the following chapters after his brief introduction: Basics, Basic Open Chords, 12-Bar Blues, Barre and Movable Chords, Power Chords and Boogie-Woogie Style, Fingerstyle Blues, and Various Blues Accompaniment Styles.

Despite the correctable spelling error on the cover: rhyhm verses rhythm, I would highly recommend this text and will keep it in my music reference library to use for instruction in the future.
