3.0 out of 5 stars Useful , but imcomplete, November 28, 2001

C. James "fffcj" (Belfast, N.Ireland United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Improvising Jazz Guitar (Paperback)

A useful text , poorly designed though ..
This book alone won't do much for you .

Many scale patterns are presented in tab with a standard staff .
This is silly , a simple diagram would be much clearer and take up far less room on the page .
Theres a place for tab , a place for staff , and a place for diagrams . The authors don't seem to appreciate this .
There's a 'bonus' chapter at the end .
This is just full of SOME of the stuff which was missing from the preceding chapters !
