Hot Rock Sax - Techniques, Licks And Effects (Artist Transcriptions) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I never thought that I would need to write a negative review - that is, until now.If you are looking to add to your repertoire of techniques - don't make the same mistake I did in buying this book.
The techniques offered in this book have very little (if any) good information to offer - there are plenty of instances of this throughout the book.
As one example, the section on "Vibrato", provides no tips, no exercises, in fact - no description of what good vibrato is or how it is done.
Another example, the section on "Growl", has content so thin that it leaves the reader "out in the cold".The author offers only one (of several) techniques for growling, but that description is inadequate at best for the production of growl.
I could go on (check out the section on "glissando"), but let me just say that the author and publisher are doing a disservice to sax students with this book.
We should expect that any decent music "how-to" book should include good descriptions (with illustrations), tips (and/or warnings), and exercises - perhaps even recorded examples.Sorry - this book doesn't measure up.
