Original Idea, Well-Written Book August 30, 2008
This is not a method book but one that falls into the licks and patterns category. The author has created an original idea and a well-written book.
The examples are bite-size and fun to work through. And they have an honest-to-goodness R&B or funk sound, too. Not just dull exercises, but the real thing like you hear on recordings.
There is a good amount of material here for the price and a good number of the patterns are good technique builders. I have enjoyed this book and recommend it to others.
5 stars are not enough! August 9, 2005

As someone who has bought more guitar books than I'd care to admit (given my still limited ability!), I can recognise exceptional quality in an instructional book when I see (and hear) it. Chris Hunt has produced the best rhythm guitar book I have ever encountered. It has 55 examples which are usually 2-4 bars long (a few are longer) and 8 play-along tracks with just bass & drums for extended practice. Without a doubt, every lesson is a minor gem. The rhythms and chord voicings presented here are things you have heard on hundreds of classic R&B tracks, but I think any guitarist of any style can benefit from the wisdom that is distilled in these pages. The quality of production, execution and knowledge that Chris has shared is as good as it gets. It will save me a lot of money that I would have given to a teacher to learn all that is contained here. It deserves to become THE benchmark rhythm guitar text and a best seller that every guitarist should own.
