Product Description
Written by Musicians Institute instructor Jean Marc Belkadi at the request of his students, this book/CD pack will help guitarists understand, hear and be able to use modern outside playing techniques in their own compositions and improvisations. The book covers: four different concepts of playing outside (the chromatic, symmetrical, superimposed and 12-tone approach); the major, minor and dominant chord families; and more, all in standard notation and tab. The accompanying CD contains 82 demo tracks, with most played at full tempo, then repeated at half speed.

angular licks November 23, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
If you find yourself stuck in a rut with playing lines that sound cliche, this book presents excellent ideas to help you think outside the box when improvising on guitar. You will come up with lines that is unique-sounding
and unpredictable. There are only a small number of guitarists who have been able to sound this way for example, Scott Henderson. This is however not for beginners on guitar and so you will need to know some theory like triads, substitution and fretboard logic. An excellent book
GREAT TOOL May 17, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Obviously this is not for the beginner.
You need to know your chords/scales/modes before embarking on outside playing.
The examples are great tools for the guitarist who wants to add more flavor to his/her phrasing lines.
It doesn't spoon-feed you completely because you should already know the terms used in the book and be able to recognize motifs at least by ear.
 Specific Phrases June 28, 2006
The guitar tone on the demonstration tracks is crystal clear. All of these licks work over the backgrounds at full and half speed which is odd or brilliant depending on your viewpoint. I've found that perhaps half of the licks can be applied to different musical situations and the other half are specific to the groove they enhance. The demonstration CD is essential to this book because you really need to hear these licks. Your technique should improve just by trying to play these licks as the author does. There is a certain repetitiveness in these licks after awhile but whether you are contemplating a purchase for theory or technique, there is something to be derived on both fronts. I like this book enough that I am contemplating another purchase by this author. At the price it's selling for it's a good buy but be sure it comes with the cd.
Great book but NOT for beginners December 10, 2005

Like all Jean Marc Belkadi books, or at least the 3 or 4 I own or have seen, this book is NOT for beginners. The author does NOT explain in great detail the examples of what he played. There is a short paragraph--usually just 2 or 3 sentences---stating the key and the general concept of what is happening in the lick. If you do not know some music theory, you will struggle with this book. You must also have some 'chops' before even thinking about getting this book. You must also understand how to learn from these books. The author cannot play the guitar for you. The point with books like these is to grasp the underlying concept of the lick the author shows you and then EXPAND on it and experiment with it in as many different ways you can think of. With those caveats being mentioned, this is a WONDERFUL book. It has given me many freah new ideas on improvising. But again, you must be prepared and willing to put alot of time and effort in applying the examples in the book. If you do, you will gain much from this book.

Jean Marc is an awesome guitar player that i had the pleasure to meet and recieve a guitar lesson. He travels the whole world finding unique musical references from every star on the map. If you are into unorthodox guitar playing then this book is defintly fo you.
