 Licks just sound bad... March 8, 2008
This book has lots of licks, but the licks aren't very practical for any style of playing. None of them particularly stand out as musical, or something that I would want to put into a guitar solo. I was very disappointed with this book and wish I hadn't purchased it.
Licks March 2, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book covers a wide variety of styles but is really more weighted toward jazz licks. Some licks are played twice, the second time at a slightly reduced speed. However, this is done inconsistently. It's a good book but I probably wouldn't have bought it if I could have listened to the cd first. Although some of the jazz licks I find useful in my playing, I'm more into blues/rock and this book doesn't cover those styles as well as other books.

Break out of scale-run type solos June 29, 2007
1 out of 3 found this review helpful
I have played guitar for over 12 years. I practice regularly, running scales, increasing my chord vocabulary, etc. I have struggled, after running scales for so long, to create tasteful, melodic solos.
The Guitar Licktionary has really helped me improve my soloing technique. This book takes many famous licks from various artists and sets them down in TAB for you to read and play. I enjoyed the mixture of genres, from heavy metal to country and bluegrass. I believe all styles can be incorporated into your music to spice it up and make it interesting.
I would definitely recommend this book.

challenging stuff November 29, 2004
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I buy these books compulsively, and have a library of 3o or more.
this book stands out. dave hill has great technique, if a little bias towards the larry carlton/robbin ford schools. the examples are fun and technically challenging, and run the gamut from relatively easy bb king/double stop blues licks to much harder altered/minor scale stuff that really challenges. and some great pentatonic/"hard" rock riffs, too. the examples are doubled on the cd tracks, two discs would have been better. all in all, probably the best "lick" book I've purchased, which is a little like saying it's the best term paper I've ever bought. highly recommended.
