 A Primer Book July 28, 2008

This book attempts to teach you how to construct your own jazz licks using moderate outside to way outside techniques. The 2-5-1 progressions are used,(major,harmonic major,minor and dominant 7th) and 4 examples for each with each example increasing in how far out of the tonal center it migrates before ending in the key.ie. the 1st lick might be largely diatonic but with some passing notes, the second may employ a tritone sub and diatonic extentions, the 3rd may employ triads or arpeggios from other tonalities, the 4th may employ triads from symetrical keys ala Trane Progressions. Because Belkadi is more of a player than a theorist, you get short explanations for each example but with some study a light bulb should go off for you opening up new possibilities for your improvisations. The CD has excellent sound quality as does his guitar tone. 2 minute jam tracks would have been nice because you should be constructing your own licks and practicing them. I highly recommend this for the diligent student and even if you just want to copy his licks because most are a cut above the elevator norm.

Any guitarist wanting to get out of a rut or outside the box patterns this is the book to buy. Marc's book will teach you some pretty awesome patterns and licks. Marc Belkadi will open your mind to new ideals and challenge your playing!! Note, not for the beginner. The book comes fully tabbed!!With cd examples fast and slow tempo performed over fusion back ground music. Marc is one great guitarist and teacher!
 Unlock melodic possibilities November 23, 2007

This book is a good reference to make your guitar improvisation more melodic and give you more soloing ideas apart from the scales most guitarists use. If you like sophisticated jazzy, outside-inside lines like the ones played by fusion and jazz-rock guitarists like Larry Carlton,Scott Henderson, Lee Ritenour, George Benson etc.. then this is a good book to start with and refer to. There are lots demonstration on jazz soloing techniques like triad substitution, tritone substitution and more through tons of licks that you can use. The only reason why I gave it 4 stars was because I thought the author could have explained in more detail, how he came up with the licks. But then this book is not for absolute beginners on guitar, it is an advantage if you already know some music theory like triads, substitution etc.. This book I think will complement the book Jazz Guitar Improvisation by Fewell published by Berklee College of Music, since it also teaches triadic improvisation on guitar.
