5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, January 26, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Scales Over Chords (Book and CD) (Paperback)

Excellent book. Not a beginners' book. Must have dexterority to play scales. I've been playing for 10 years, and this is helping to fill in gaps in my knowledge of scales and music theory. For me, this book is just what the doctor ordered. It will take me a few months to master this book, practicing/reading/studying approximately 1 hour per day.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great music theory book for beginning or intermediate guitar, April 25, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Scales Over Chords (Book and CD) (Paperback)

Even if you don't read music, this book will be very helpful. Easy to understand. Explains relationships of scales and chords. Presents a logical way to learn these relationships for all scales and has many good practice studies in the last half of the book. The first few chapters may seem tedious to some but are the building blocks for the later chapters where things begin to really fit together. If you are looking for more than just a book on chord forms, get this book first

4.0 out of 5 stars Good choice, October 24, 2001

socratease (VA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Scales Over Chords (Book and CD) (Paperback)

This book gives you what you expect, the knowledge to run
riffs and play in key, as well as understand how to create
your own lead runs based on a particular scale. the layout is easy to absorb it is not busy, a problem a lot of tutorials have.
