Robben Ford II: The Blues And Beyond begins with basic blues concept - like the pentatonic, mixolydian, and blues scales - and builds on these, progressively incorporating more and more sophisticated scales and chord voicings. Robben moves from the basic 12 bar blues through gospel, jazz, and modal feels. New chords and scales are carefuly contrasted against more common ones so that you can hear the differences. The book is full of transcriptions and music examples; all explained in detail in both the text and on the accompanying audio CD.
