The Diminished Scale for Guitar (Musicians Institute Press) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)some of the licks here are also in Jean Marc's "advanced scale concepts and licks for guitar" (which I thought was kind of lame) in this (very) short book Jean Marc tries to teach thru examples only, almost no explanations, very short on theory, just a line or two outlining what's going on ... but still I thought the lines presented are quite good, so I think this skinny book is cool as a supplement but you'll have to analyze the licks yourself to get the most out of the ideas presented here (which is not a bad thing really considering sometimes you obtain a deeper understanding when a book makes you work) almost every lick is in a jazz fusion vein, some are better than others ...what I liked about this one is how Belkadi mixes dimished sounds with more standard chords, so he applies the scale but doesn't really sound diminished like in a 13th flat 9 chord ... while not essential I didn't regret I bought it, just don't expect too much material.
