Book Reviews of The Guitar F/X Cookbook: The Ultimate Source for Guitar Tricks, Effects, and Other Unorthodox Techniques
Book Review: Come guys... get real!!!
Summary: 4 Stars
For those guitar "experts" out there that don't remember what it was like to start off with this instrument, I will tell you that after I bought this book, I was delighted to find many of those long un-answered questions that I sought to answer for many years as a beginner. 17 years later, I realized that I, a totally self-taught, guitarist had found many of the right techniques (or got close) on my own... but still, if I had found this book earlier, my growth would have accelerated. What is so cool, is that there are a handfull that I haven't even thought about trying... but, now I shall. Doing Sitar or Koto? Now, that sounds like fun. Not quite my area, but worth a try for a kick-butt transition.
Don't be too hard on this book... its always good to get re-assurance, and most importantly, a guiding light. This book promises that, and delivers. I say, a MUST buy... there is no substitute for free experimentation though, e.g. I found most of these techniques on my own, but, like I said, its always reassuring to see that you were close to the answers, or dead on.
I give it 4 stars, instead of 5, because no book will ever answer the infinite number of questions about this instrument. It is up to you. When YOU write the perfect book, maybe I'll buy it. Until then, keep trying... this is such a wonderful instrument that I shall never stop playing, or experimenting with new sounds. I can only hope you, the guitarists out there, never quit as a result of "lack of answers or inspiration".
