Get Words, Music, Pictures instead,
By
This review is from: Al Di Meola's Picking Techniques (Paperback)
This book told me more about "Profit Techniques" than picking techniques. Practically all of the material is excerpted from the (mostly excellent) transcription book "Words, Music, Pictures", and not even presented in a very logical context. The few sentences that specifically deals with picking, are just general remarks that aren't very helpful in the practical sense. From a picking wizard such as Al, I'd expected some killer exercises and top-notch advice, but this book was probably hastily assembled to capitalize on his name (I doubt he had much input on it at all). Nothing wrong with the transcription excerpts, except that they aren't really right-hand etudes, and you can get the full versions in the other book (WMP).

Learning how to play like Al Di Meola,
By
This review is from: Al Di Meola's Picking Techniques (Paperback)
I was quite excited when I purchased this book because I am an Al Di Meola fanatic when it comes to wanting to learn anything I can about his playing. Unfortunately the book is written for advance players who can read sheet music. There is only one page of music with tablature attached which means the rest of the exercises were a bit useless to me. There are some great pointers regarding picking techniques, posture, and scales but the exercises will be of little use to you if you cannot read standard notation. I would have bought the book regardless given that Al wrote the thing!!! It came almost a week earlier than planned and in pristine condition.
