 Excellent Learning Tool July 28, 2008
This book is an excellent learning aid. I read one of the reviews that said you should have the aid of an instructor, this is true. But, you should have an instructor and one that knows how to read music. I added this book to my daily routine and after only a couple of day s I am seeing an inmprovement.
The best rhythm guitar method I've seen so far July 7, 2008
Of course, this book is not perfect, there's some flaws, for example:
- there's a gap between the first seven chapters and the rest of the book, the first seven chapters are pretty accesible for a beguiner but, starting in chapter eigth the level required is raised a lot so a beguiner may have a lot of trouble finding his way trougth the examples.
- Some aspects doesn't have enought explanation, some chapters may have 3 pages or so and you feel like there's something missing to fully "get" the idea.
Eventhought, this is the best book I've seen so far about rhythm guitar, it is by far the most complete in terms of aspects of rhythm playing and has a fairly good amount of chords to show the student. This is not a book for guys just looking around, it is designed for serious study for a reletive long period (It might take nine months to a year of a consistent practice to absorve the content of the book). Botton line, if you want to learn rhythm guitar a little bit further than the average ballad to impress a girl, this is your book.
One piece of advice: No book can stand on his own, to fully integrate the content of the book I suggest the Tom Kolb "Chord Progressions" as a companion, and maybe some others as your hability improves.
 otimo livro pra quem sabe ler. faltou um cd... June 4, 2008

Se vc tem nocoes de leitura esse livro vale a pena. Assim como o outro leitor que comentou, la pelo capitulo 8 minhas fraquezas comecaram a aparecer e tenho me divertindo insistindo nelas e verificando de maneira sistematica aonde estao minhas forcas e deficiencias.
Nesse mundo de metodos para guitarra vc encontra muita coisa para te transformar num "soleiro" chato de galochas. Otimo ter um metodo organizado de guitarra base, que e o que nos guitarristas fazemos e 95% do tempo em que tocamos, portanto, e a coisa mais importante a aprender.
Nao e perfeito porque faltou um CD, que tornaria o livro mais acessivel a quem nao sabe ler musica. Se e o seu caso, so compre se vc tem um professor particular que pode ler por vc. Caso contrario vai simplesmente desperdicar o seu dinheiro.
not only for rhythm guitar player October 29, 2006

For intermediate players: a good method to know guitar keyboard, voicings, all types of chords and their construction. There are a lot of common progressions and basic theory rules that let you "colour" your songs

This is a great book. I've been looking for a book on strumming patterns for a very long time. This book taught me how to interpret 32nd, 16th, 8th and quarter notes into strumming patters. Step by step it increased my bar chord skills. I am only up the chapter 5, but, after 2 years of playing, I have a re-newed excitment about practicing.
