Mel Bay Presents Advanced Modern Rock Guitar Improvisation

Rating:
Summary: A great book
Review: I have been playing the guitar for about 7 years from now. In this time I have been improvising with the pentatonic licks from the gratest rock guitar players. After I began to master them all, I just noticed that I was doing always the same thing. After I read this book, I began to learn new ways of playing the guitar. I think that I was able to play my improvisations with a pencil, now I improvise with full color. The content is presented on an easy and funny way, making it a really a great experience. It also has a CD, which has all the examples of the book and some tracks where you can improvise applying the learned lessions.

Summary: AWSOME!
Review: The approach Jon Finn brings in this book is something that revolutionized all the music theory i have learned in 17 years of guitar playing. The coolest thing about this book is not WHAT is covered but HOW and WHEN. Dont expect to find anything else but the old scales and modes you already know. But you will find yourself in a new way of viewing the guitar neck geometry, bringing your improvising skills to a 'higher' level. Congrats Jon!

Summary: Great book - the best I've used
Review: Very few guitar instruction books are revolutionary or breakthrough for me. I will buy them on the number of stars in a review and find them quite disappointing. I've always believed that there are a few keys that can unlock your understanding of the fretboard and its modes - the guitar is a deceptively simple instrument - and this book is truly it. Not only that, the tracks on the CD are keyed directly to the tracks in the book - one for one. Great great book.
