Question:
I'm looking to buy a blues guitar techniques book for intermediate player, any suggestions ?

Answer:
Fred Sokolow Basic Blues for Guitar..I bought this for my kid. and I go through it myself! He covers a lot of territory, and does it all clearly and well..comes with a cassette (http://www.jumpnet.com/~musicianworkshop). An itermediate player will get.. old stuff in new ways.. new stuff in different ways... country blues, acoustic blues, electric blues, classic blues, contemporary blues and slide and jazz tips.. that he can use.. One I found very enlightening was a book called Power Trio Blues. It can be found at Elderly Instruments. It teaches aspects of blues guitar I've never seen in any other teaching material.
