3 out of 5 stars Doesn't hit the mark for me.   February 4, 2008
 5 out of 6 found this review helpful

It's one of those little handbooks that promises more than it seems to deliver - but maybe that's just me. Never really got on with these pocketbook formats.

It's a pretty straight forward approach and if you worked through this book you know quite a bit about chord patterns and how to apply them. But in a market where there's so much good material this one didn't really do it for me. (I do actually own a copy though).

Try "Rhythm Guitar" by Bruce Buckingham in the Musicians Institute series. It's very progressive, starting easy and getting up to quite a nice standard. When you've finished that, try Mickey Baker's, "Jazz Guitar" book from the 50's. All the exercises will get you playing all the more complex chords in practical applications and the first half of the book on chordwork contains what Baker says is 6 months work at 2 hours a day. (I like someone who gives students a heads-up on the effort required.)



5 out of 5 stars Well written and organized. Information of practical use.   January 14, 1998

For a compact book, it contains more useful information than books three times as big. Most helpful in understanding how to alter and embellish basic ii-V-I and I-IV-V progressions and understanding how to analyze chord function within a progession. A must for anyone serious about the guitar.
