Guitar Techniques (Bk/Cd) Hal Leonard Guitar Method Supplement Review

The book says in what kind of music is the technique used and how to do it. Though it shows you everything with great facility, it always tells you that you must practise, practise and practise until you master the technique.

Eric Clapton - The Bluesman Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Bluesman is a great compilation of music from Eric Clapton assembled by Andy Aledort.Much of the music is from his earlier days so ignores more timely titles, but is an in depth look at the early blues oriented style Clapton started with.

I can't understand why Hal Leonard discontinued this package unless there may have been a plan to convert the included CD to DVD, and the plan was abandoned before implementation. As it is, the tabs are clearly written, accurate: almost painfully so: and the CD tracks are perfect. Each title is broken into segments, with each segment played at normal speed and again at a much slower tempo. This makes it easy to follow the tab, or to play note for note with the track.

In closing: The Bluesman is a terrific product for learning the blues style of one of popular music's most influential artists.I only wish Hal Leonard Corp. would produce it with an accompanying DVD so I could purchase that as well.

Matt Smith's Chop Shop for Guitar Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have had the oppertunity to meet, study, and play with Matt at the National Guitar Workshop at the Nashville site and was blown away by his knowledge of the art of music. I came home and as soon as i sat down, i forgot almost half of the information he gave me and i would try to understand the scribbles written on the sheets of paper that was given to me during my week in Nashville. I took the course again this last summer and i still needed more guidence. Thankfully, his book is out and it's like having him here in my own home! He covers everything you could imagine! I thank him for writting this excellent book and for the publishers who let him do it his way. Good luck to you Matt!

How to Play Guitar: Electric And Acoustic - The Basics and Beyond - Chords, Scales, Tunes, and Tips Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)For a basic overview of guitar playing, this book does the trick, but the examples and explanations are not up to par.The CD is okay, but annoying because it all goes too quickly.I learned more from the Mel Bay Chord diagrams than from this book which supposedly explains guitar playing.A good fingerpicking section, but forget about their lead guitar sections, just a bunch of scales, no explanations or anything.

Chord Tone Soloing: A Guitarist's Guide to Melodic Improvising in Any Style (Musicians Institute: Private Lessons) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Barrett Tagliarino books are easy to follow. This one uses a format similar to his Fretboard Workbook. Ideas are introduced with easy to read chord diagrams that revolve around the CAGED system of chord organization. Chord tones are emphasized as one solos. This outlines the chord progression making the soloist sound "melodic," instead of simply playing the right scale over chords.

This book expects the reader to be new to soloing and progresses in baby steps. The other book on the same subject by Berklee Press called "Melodic Improvisation" is much more advanced and focuses on heavy weight jazzers like Pat Martino, Wes Montgomery, Joe Pass, and monster players of that caliber. This book is accessible to rock, folk, bluegrass, and country guitarists, not just jazz cats. The secret to success, the point of the book, is to target chord tones as one solos, but how does one do that?

To answer that question, Barrett provides in depth guitar theory, a lot of break down and analysis, scalar choices, key center analysis, and a lot of down home humor along the way to keep things from getting overwhelming. All-in-all, Tagliarino has written another instructional book you'll want to keep in the library for continued study.

Easy Pop Rhythms Book only Hal Leonard Guitar Method Supplement 2nd edition Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was looking for a book to use solo, not with an instructor. Unfortunately, this isn't it. While they do include a number of strum patterns at the end of the book, they do not show strum patterns for each song -- you're left to figure it out on your own.

I'd hope that the CD would make that easier but the other instruments sometimes make it hard to hear the guitar part. They didn't do what's sometimes done and separate the guitar on one side and the backing parts on the other side so you can't isolate the guitar.

The chords are the easy part. All the songs are transposed into simple 3-finger chords (C, G7, G, D7, Em, D, A7).

Overall, I'm disappointed.

A Modern Approach to Jazz, Rock and Fusion Guitar (Musicians Institute Press) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book is not for beginners and geared toward advanced players who have a good technique and already grasped a solid understanding of the jazz music theory.Minimal explanations are given within the examples, though the musical ideas are not difficult to figure out if the player is equipped with a sound jazz theory background.There are totally 30 great modern sounding licks to learn and extrapolate, in the categories of:

(1) Major scale and chromaticism (applied in different harmonic situations).
(2) Triads (superimposition over chords, some with chromaticism).
(3) Arpeggios (superimposition over chords, some with chromaticism).
(4) Additional ideas (mainly arpeggios with chromaticism).

For a similar genre, the player might also want to check out Jazz-Rock Solos for Guitar: Lead Guitar in the Styles of Carlton, Ford, Metheny, Scofield, Stern and more! (REH Pro Licks), a work which is more accessible and diversified in style.
