Book Review: A New Classic Guitar Textbook
Summary: 5 Stars
I;m a recent college grad with my Bachelors, and studied classial guitar and composition. I'm currently getting my jazz chops up to speed as I'm now a professional musician and teacher. So I'm coming from a more "schooled" position, but really, anyone who can play decently will benefit from this book.
This book really blew me away. First of off, it is a great bargain. You can purchase it directly from the author at www.sheetsofsound.net if amazon is out of stock. I believe Mel Bay just brought the book into their catalog but kept the price.
For the standard price of one of the countless, medicore Technique books out there, you get an incredibly comprehensive book of arpeggios, melodic motifs, innovative pentatonics and other technical, melodic and harmonic content that will satisfy players of all genres, Rock, Classical, Metal, Country and of course, Jazz and Fusion. For those so inclined, the book really does unlock the "Sheets of Sound" Coltrane-approach to guitar. I reccomend combining it with Jimmy Bruno (who reccomends this book,) "Art of Picking" DVD and Book. The previous reviewer was correct: Mr. Zucker doesn't spend much time focusing on picking, (he does explain his personal approach which is similar to Bruno's.) He also is expecting experienced guitarists, ones who understand basic music theory and have some chops. However, this book will increase your techique, your melodic and harmonic creativity, and help you achieve a much more fluid approach to single-note playing. I consider it the "Chord Chemistry" of single-note playing, which is an incredibly high compliment. I will be working through this book for years. Than kyou Jack Zucker!
