METHOD BOOK REVIEW: A SUCCINCT PATH TO MASTERY.

This is my most recent search for a book that would dramatically assist me in teaching others what I already know. Everyone approaches learning differently. Music is no exception.

Although I consider Music to be "the ultimate language of all known languages,"I know that the raw information and concepts STILL have to be PROCESSED. Which is why I'm so excited to review this book! 

Let me first start out by saying, out the dozens of music-related book, CDs and DVDs I've invested my time and money in, THIS ONE BOOK does the job of about 75% of my current collection! SO to me, it's very important that I give this book it's proper distinction and place above the rest.

It's also different in that it addresses questions that most guitarists (INCLUDING ME!) are unsure about that stay stuck in our minds. These hidden questions are out in the open and ALIVE inside the pages of Tom Kolb's book (PUBLISHED BY HAL LEONARD, OF COURSE!). He not only asks them, but answers each vital main point involved in cracking the guitar-code towards mastery.

I'll describe this place of mastery: It's a place where you "just know." It's an area of "natural" knowing. Where you're SURE of each interval between  notes  and can emulate/copy/mimic patterns within a seemingly stagnant scale. This area is a region where, because of the work you've done to find out what notes you're playing, you can  improvise without worrying/thinking about hitting a wrong note.


STAY TUNED FOR MY NEXT REVIEW OF - PHILIP TOSHIO SUDO'S LEGENDARY BOOK -- "ZEN GUITAR"!!!
