Matt Smith's Chop Shop for Guitar

Summary: Matt finally opens his bag of tricks of all guitarists!
Review: 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!

Summary: The guitar book we've longed for
Review: There are many guitar books in the world, the majority of them being very useful to the aspiring guitarist's adventures. But Matt Smith's Chop Shop easily is placed in the top 5 guitar books. He has successfully made the most complex ideas for the guitar easy for us!! From understanding the key signature, to pentatonic scale control on the whole fretboard, to learning modes--everything is explained in a manner that instantly hooks you. He also expresses the importance of behaving like a professional, which is something you don't find in other books. I highly recommend all intermediate to advanced guitarists to put this in their collection within arms' reach.

Summary: Priceless
Review: This book is Awesome! It contains sooo many gems of information essential to expanding one's playing. This IS the Ultimate guitar players handbook. Literally, within minutes of having picked up the book I was coming up with more interesting chord progressions. I have been in a rut with my playing, can't really afford weekly lessons at this point, and found this book to be the perfect solution. It's about 20 lessons for less than 1/2 the price of one. It's very straightforward AND it comes with a cd so that you can hear the examples. Buy this book and quit your day job!
