Book Reviews of The Advancing Guitarist
Book Review: A GOOD BOOK FOR THE INTERMEDIATE TO ADVANCED PLAYER
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a very fine effort by Mick Goodrick. The detailed logic in his approach is refreshing. The book is written pretty well, so discussions about 'all the fingering possibilities in this situation' aren't dull.
He also does these cool commentaries about specific musical subjects, but some of them are also subtle stories about life, too: having no regrets, how to approach your own inconsistency in playing, and things like that.
Fair warning: some readers and players will find this book TOO DETAILED, and TOO ADVANCED. Like any other technique/skill book, there are exercises to be slogged through, if that's how you choose to use the book.
I hate to admit it, but I have not done every exercise in the book. And playing his stuff gets intense!
If you stuck to this book, studied it intensely, page for page, and played *everything* in it, as instructed, you'd probably be a professional grade guitarist, by the time you closed the cover. But, it might take you three or four years, to do it competently.
