4 out of 5 stars Great start...   October 17, 2008
The ideas introduced in this book are exciting and very exotic or jazzy sounding. I enjoy this book very much and it has augmented my musicality alot. My biggest beef is that there are to many examples with chromaticism compared to ones without. I would much rather have a couple of examples from each scale than just the one you get plus one with chromaticism.

When you get down to it my biggest complaint with the book is I wish it was longer and had more examples, so i guess that just means I like it alot?



5 out of 5 stars My Favorite   September 13, 2008
by this author because you get 100 licks in many different tonalities. About the only one not covered is Harmonic Major(Ionian flat 6). Belkadi starts out with the major/minor pentatonic scale (4examples) using the 4th interval approach and then with chromatism and quickly moves on to the dominant 7th pentatonic scale and then several lessor known pentatonic scales. Soon he's into harminic minor tonality(Ionian flat3/flat6) and breaks it down by modes giving 2 examples in each mode. This book is a good practical way to learn these modes. In my case phrygian dominant or phrygian natural 3 stuck with me from this book,(it's mode 5 of harmonic minor). The next tonality gone thru is melodic minor(Ionian flat3),(my personal favorite). Belkadi sells these tonalities well with his virtuosity and change-ups (tone and style) on the accompanying CD which has very good sound quality. You also get lines for whole tone and diminished scales and miscellaneous lines to round out the book. I'd put this book in the same league as outside licks and possibly a tad more useful because of the theoretical lessons it contains.
