Great review for experienced musician I have a pretty extensive background in music. I have been singing for as long as I can remember in choirs and plays etc. I have also been playing the viola and the flute since elementary school! I have had numerous hours of training in reading and playing music. The guitar has always been an instrument that I have wanted to play. However, I am not one that can afford lessons That being said, this book is PERFECT for someone like me. Even with my background as a musician, the detailed lessons are a great review for me as well as a clarification for some things. The book is easy to follow and the addition of picture visuals and vide. Informative and Well-Designed Book and Videos! dmartin As a guitarist for over 20 years, I have seen a lot of scale and music theory books. Each one is pretty good, but is lacking in one area or another. For instance, most guitar scale books don't provide the finger numbers or the notes on the guitar neck. Many of them also provide scale patterns that are difficult for the hands to learn and are not practical. Almost all scales books that I've seen don't tell you what chords to play the scales over; they just list scale patterns.The author of this book has done a very good job in making learning scales easy, fun, and musical. Here are 10 features that make it a little "gem":1. The book. Helped me out a lot! My wife recommended I try this book out! A while back I friend teach me a little bit, but I am not someone that catches on quickly I don't play any type of instrument. I really love to try though and I have been wanting to get back into it. This book is PERFECT for me because it things easy to understand and it truly is STEP BY STEP! Which is something I need as a beginner. I especially liked the YouTube videos I think it adds a totally new element to learning/teaching yourself. I have rediscovered my desire to play This book gives me confidence that I can actually do it! I think I can even start working with my daughter using this
I know him as an accomplished composer and guitarist, and this book is a wonderful step by step guide to scales and their application. Helpful for the beginner or advanced guitarist. Praise for Damon Ferrante's Guitar Books and Music: "Damon is an extraordinary composer, but he is also a shredder. He does more than show you around thefingerboard--Ferrante demonstrates how to think musically, about theguitar or any instrument." Robert Battistini, Professor and Music Writer"I really love this book! As a kid when I was first learning, the chordcharts were often difficult to decipher and confusing. Oren Fader, Music Professor and Professional Guitarist"Only a writer with decades of experience as performer, composer, andteacher could produce "Guitar Adventures." Damon Ferrante has distilled a lifetime of thinking about music into the fundamental building blocks of musicianship. This i
