Lo mejor de lo mejor (4dvds and this book)
I just want to give thanks to Mr. Desi Serna, i got The 4 DVDS and the book Fretboard Theory, this is the best material to learn guitar outside, before this i bought material from hal leonard, but i found it very difficult for a begginer and dont explain things well! but when you took the Desi Serna's Book, and put the DVD at the same thing, you would see everything clearly, he explains slowly, ...

A Modern Method for Guitar (Bausteine Fur Musikerziehung Und Musikpflege. Schriftenreihe)

24 reviews

Berklee Press Publications, 1986

Ready to get serious???
The Berklee guitar books could very well be the best comprehensive method out there. This is the first of three books. The DVD is a big help because it lets the student hear and see the exercises along with reading them. Anyone who takes the time and exercises the discipline to give the Berklee method adequate attention will emerge an accomplished legitimate guitarist. The Berklee books are ...

Rikky Rooksby

Backbeat Books, 2003

Insight, Inspiring and Suprising
I have over last two years developed into a real fan of Rikky's books. This one really surprised me for progressive depth in the structure of each chapter. Each chapter builds on the next. And sandwiched between the 'tips' are these gems of compositions that helps broaden and deepen the constructive elements of songwriting. The book is focused more on chord progression in songs and then the ...

Hal Leonard, 1999

What can I say, good book.
I am a guitar player. I wanted to get a Les Paul Historic model. They make them now identical to the originals made in 57-60. I bought the book so I could pick out a guitar as close to an original as I could find. The book gave me the knowledge of what the originals looked like and I picked out a guitar that I wouldn't have picked out unless I had the book to work with. Greg Hough

BEGINNER INTERMEDIATE AND ADVANCED HOT ROD TECHNIQUES FOR GUITAR: A WIRING GUIDE FOR THE FENDER STRATOCASTER

A Must Buy for any Strat Owner
This is an excellent, easy to understand book that will enable even a beginner to customize their guitar to any level, including true vintage tone through full hot rod modifications. If you own a strat(or clone) it would be foolish to not know how to maximize your investment. This is how.

Learn to improvise entire neck, any key
I am 61 years old and finally I can play lead (any key) over entire neck after going thru this book and taking time on each lesson to fully understand it. I have taken private Jazz lessons for a year before but something was missing. This book made it clear,I now see lead patterns when i hit a chord and can jump anyplace on neck and still be playing lead in the right key.

Roy Buchanan: American Axe

Phil Carson, Roy Buchanan

Backbeat Books, 2001

YOU LEARN ABOUT ROY AND THE MUSIC BUSINESS
I like Roy's first records--loud and clear, with the focus on his playing. Later on they tried to make him like Clapton, but it didn't work. I would rate Roy in the top 5 of the people I have heard. I also like Bugs Henderson, Tinsley Ellis, Wes Jeans, and Dave Hole. This book is a very good read. I saw Roy at Park West in Chicago. He did a very short set. It was hard to enjoy him with the female ...

Solo Guitar Playing

Frederick M Noad

Music Sales+ Corporation

Great classical guitar book
First let me say that I would not recommend this book unless you are at least an intermediate classical player, if not, then begin with Noad's "Solo Guitar Playing 1", which goes from beginner to intermediate. Both of these books come with a cd containing most of the songs from the book, and neither one has tab. Solo guitar 2 has some technical instruction, such as counting dotted notes, rest ...

Allan Slutsky, James Jamerson

Hal Leonard Corporation, 1989

GREAT BOOK & 2 CD SET! FOR BASSIST ..AND MUSIC FANS!
James Jamerson is one of the top bassist of all time and this book will give bassist some insight to his genius. I never learned to read music, but I was born with an exception ear! I remember a long time ago, going for a job in a pit orchestra. The musical director was not all that impressed with my playing on the first day, because I didn't read music and I kind of fumbled through the ...

Excellent Series
The Troy Stetina series is definitely the best instruction books series you can find today. It is well-explained, you get great exercises and songs to play and you gradually feel your skills increasing. Highly recommended.

HUH! Talkin' Loud and Sayin' Sumpin'!
Great book for any player. A good 101 of subdividing the funk riddim for both non solo players. These skills are adaptable to almost all other styles of music. Pick it up!

Ghost Fighting Heros
I just read book 2, Bayou Savage, "The Ghost Wars" and picked up and finished this first book becasue I love these characters. I throughly enjoyed both books!!!! My opinion is that if Jeff Foxworthy wrote a ghost fighting action hero series, they would read like these book. The Razor character is my favorite....

Troy Stetina

Hal Leonard Corporation, 1992

Troy Stetina rules!
Of the 30 or so guitar method books I own, the Troy Stetina collection is by far the most useful. His method is somewhat similar to the musicians institute series of instruction, except that his series tends to focus on a particular style of music rather than just general learning. This particular book is great as it is progressive. Start at the beginning of the book and work your way through ...

Richard Daniels

Cherry Lane Music, 1986

Few books will give you this type of inspiring, global direction
Since playing classical guitar for a few years and recently picking up an electric I've been diving into really "getting it" as far as a path for learning and understanding the big picture of what's involved in playing the electric guitar. It's truly a different instrument than the acoustic, and a practice regimen is a difficult challenge to plan. This book, while serving as a great practice ...

Backbeat Books, 2003

The Real Story
As a musician, I was very fortunate to know Danny personally as he played in one of his earliest DC bands with my uncle, Rick Harmel. I recall that he took time to show me a few practice scales almost everytime I ran into him - no matter how busy he appeeared - and he was a warm-hearted, generous guy to the core. This book balances the abrupt, tragic end of Danny's life with the highs and ...

Simon Leng

Firefly Publishing, 2002

A great book
Not only does this book tell about George's solo work in non-technical, easy to read language, it also gives some great biographical information. In writing about his strenths as well as his shortcomings as a songwriter, singer, and musician, Leng neither idolizes nor condemns, but portrays George as a human being who made mistakes like everyone. His respect for George and his work clearly ...

Dimebag Darrell, Nick Bowcott

Alfred Publishing Company, 2003

Hell, yeah!
I first met "Diamond" Darrell in 1984 when he was only 17, and giving guitar lessons at Mansfield Music. I'd finally decided I really wanted to PLAY guitar, and not just bang on it. They tried several teachers, classical, and a country teacher. It just didn't work out, so the owner told me he had one more teacher, a kid with his own band. In walked a skinny kid with the biggest electric frizz ...

Aaron Shearer

Alfred Publishing Company, 1985

Great book for bebinners
This book offers enough exercises to obtain a well practiced hand before moving into harder pieces. Other books seem to offer you building blocks, then show you the pyramide, but miss connecting the two. Shearer does an excellent job of helping all the pieces come together.
