Customer Reviews

Bom, mas não tanto
Comprei esse livro porque queria algo sobre "conhecer o braço" e porque estava satisfeito com outro livro do mesmo autor "How to build a jazz chord solo". O livro é bom, mas não é uma maravilha... Ele te dá "caminhos no braço", mas não chega a oferecer um sisteminha fechado onde vc através dele "entende" o braço do instrumento. Não necessariamente isso é ruim, mas é bem diferente do que um "fretboard logic" da vida propõe. Estou estudando ele aos poucos e até agora já aprendi bastante, mas acho que ainda é necessário complementar com algum outro Roadmap (de um gênero específico) ou com algum produto concorrente. Em resumo: é bom, mas não resolve!

excellent
Found it in the library and had to buy my own. I'm a novice wanting to learn music theory, particularly blues, and this book offers the clearest presentation of music theory for the guitar that I have yet encountered.

There are better options - this one is ok, but not great
This is a good summary text. However, I think you can get everything and more that is contained in this by visiting online guitar theory sites. I would not recommend this book because I felt that the author did not explain terms prior to thier use, which for beginners, is very confusing. I was familiar with the terms so it was ok. It covers the major topics but not that well, in my opinion. I'd recommend instead the following package for beginner/intermediate guitarists: Alfred's essentials of Music Theory Complete Student CD, Fretboard Logic SE (not the whole $60 kit), and an internet search on Guitar Theory and Music Theory. You can get everything you need without purchasing this book. It's not bad, but its not complete and you'll end up buying other redundant materials to understand it.
