I like this book since it shows easy and classic techiques to play and read classic guitar music. However, if you are interested in using four fingers on right hand, this books those not include the four fingering (1,2,3,4). But that is another story to tell. For beginners like me, it is very good, unfortunately it did not include CD.
A question for 4 mallet marimba players?
I have recently started playing 4 mallet marimba. I use Stevens grip. A couple days ago, I went to my first solo Technique StEven competition playing a four mallet song. All went well except the judges found a technique problem. When I roll for a while, my right hand hits begin to sound like 16th notes. How do I fix this? Thanks for your help. Any other tips for begginer 4 mallet players are greatly appreciated to. Thanks again!

I have never come across such a product which is more than the value that i spent on this item. If want to improve your guitar skill look no further.

This is a wonderful book if you are serious about playing guitar. It’s way better if you have at least some previous knowledge about music theory. If not, you’ll gain knowledge anyway. However, if you’re too anxious to go ahead and start skipping sections -specially those fundamentals at the beginnig (which may be a little tedious for the guitar rookie) it might become a bit senseless. Over all, this is a very good study on scales and, combined with discipline, it shall take you further on your desire to become a good musician. If you get the Book/CD + DVD deal you will save money and enjoy the experience even more.

I have just learned to play guitar and I find this book the perfect place to start. If you desire to learn to solo, this is the book for you. It also has plenty of scales that even some of my pro friends don’t know!

For the person who really wants to learn to play guitar and read music, this book is invaluable. However, you must be of the mindset that you are willing to play exercises; and play them many times – working on technique the whole time. It is not for the person who wants to learn new songs.

My guitar teacher suggested this book as I way to get prepared for celtic style fingerpicking. I’ve been using it for about a month and, so far, the text is clear and the recordings are quite useful. The pace is about right, for me. Since I already read music, I’m not sure how difficult or useful this would be for someone who does not.

Vol I of Aaron Shearers book is a good place to start whatever style of guitar you want to play. It gets you thru how to hold the guitar, hand positions, and basic music reading. It goes fast. anyone can benefit from this excellent first book. Just study the photos, and work your way thru it before you start to pick and grin. You will be way ahead of the game if you do.

I finally bought a guitar and started taking lessons. This is the book my instructor teaches from and I can’t beleive how quickly it progresses to playing actual songs. It keeps my interest, so I know I’ll be flying solo soon enough.

I don’t know why people give 1 star (as the previous interviewer did) when their transaction was flawed but not the books. I know Alfred books very well and they are the best in music education! Highly recommended.

These books are good – as long as you don’t get them through this site. The ones I got were the wrong books, and I wasn’t given the full refund because they said it was my fault. My fault for using Amazon, I guess.

I’ve enjoyed going through this book and working out some of the parts. Some of the time signatures/changes were eye-opening, as you can get lost at times trying to decipher certain Rush tunes (well I know I do anyway).
On the downside, a lot of it has been simplified – kind of like a “Here is the basic idea of what’s being played” attitude (The Trees for example). There are occasional mistakes which I can live with, but some of it is flat wrong. Check out the beginning of Natural Science (“Wheels within wheels in a spiral array”) – if you listen to the song while following the transcription, you will see that what is written is wrong.
Overall I’d recommend this book – is there such a thing as a BAD drum book?

I have been using this book for over 12 years now. I received it as a gift during my senior year of high school, and used the book so much that it was literally falling apart. I had to get a replacement. I have also used this book to teach to some of my drum students. Although I have found a few mistakes, the rhythms and time signatures are very accurate.
I find it very useful to not only teach time changes and reading skills, but to teach continuity even when mistakes happen.
Neil Peart’s drumming exhibits finesse and is incredibly intricate. The drummer that uses this book will learn not the K.I.S.S. (keep it simple stupid) method to drumming and timekeeping, but the M.U.S.I.C. (make up something interesting and complimentary) method.
I would highly recommend this book to any RUSH fan or intermediate to advanced drummer looking to add a few more “tools” to their percussive toolbox.

I’m not as good as I would like to be at hearing progressive rock music and understanding what is being played so I was very happy to see this book.
Unfortunately the author isn’t very good either. I’ve spent quite a few hours trying to reconcile what I was hearing with what I was reading.
I would still purchase it for some clues, but you can’t take it as gospel. The book states that the arrangements were prepared under the supervision of Neil Peart, maybe he wasn’t paying attention.

This book is incredibly useful if you are trying to learn Rush tunes. Sure you could just sit and learn them from the CD but also having the sheet music speeds things up quite a bit and you will catch things you didn’t notice by just listening. People here are complaining a lot about the mistakes, which there are, but I think its a minor point. The fact is, most of the mistakes are totally obvious if you are listening the cd. I think maybe they are mostly transcription errors from the publisher. In any case, most of the book is quite accurate and it will give you a much greater appreciation of Peart’s compositions than you ever have had.

Being a serious guitarist with a day job, it is always a challenge to make your practice time as valuable and efficient as possible. It was with this in mind that I purchase this book. Warning; this book, like all of the books I have used written by this author, is not for beginners; it is written for the advanced guitarist. There is no explanation on how to execute the techniques required to play these exercises. The exercises are perfect for the advance player looking to improve and maintain all areas of their technique. There a numerous exercises covering tapping, chording, stretching, sweep picking, alternate picking string skipping and legato. The exercises within each of these areas are very diverse exposing even advanced players to different approaches in these technical areas. I highly recommend it for what it is a complete diverse set of technical exercises for the advanced guitarist.
