4.0 out of 5 stars A Useful Book...but mostly for Guitarists, March 22, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Arranging Songs (Paperback)
This song covers traditional arrangement techniques. It is mostly suited to guitarists...not so much keyboardists. It has insightful info, but doesn't offer much in terms of experimental or unconventional arrangement techniques, which would have been nice. It's not one of Rooksby's best books, but it's still good (which says something)!

5.0 out of 5 stars great for beginning to advanced home recorders, March 27, 2008
This review is from: Arranging Songs (Paperback)
I found this book very good to record my own songs. I have had an 8 track recorder for some time now, but everything sounded too thick, muddled etc. This book helped to learn to layer and create space.

4.0 out of 5 stars very useful book for people like me, October 14, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Arranging Songs (Paperback)
This is a must have book for anyone like myself ,who knows theory ,used to be in a band years ago ,can play an instrument still ,but now has gotten into djing,remixing doing mashups and now wants to go farther with my career producing.

this book is not for anyone with a music degree it would be useless obviously because you know this stuff already.

For someone like me who knows how to program synths,knows theory and all the only thing i was lacking was my composing and arranging (even though i knew theory ,theory is not composing its two different things

the book arravide in 1 day from amazon and i chose the 5 day shipping so i have not have time to read all of it but like the other guy says it is based on guitar in the first 3 sections ,but you can apply what he is saying to any instrument. I dont know anyone who just plays a guitar in there songs only unless your Paul Simon.

But basically from what i did have time to read the book does help you about arranging . I gave it 4 stars only because it is based on guitars the first few sections but you can still read what he says and apply any instrument to those sections.
