reviews
This is a great book!
I got my first guitar only about six months ago. In the time I've had it, I've bought more guitar books than I should have. But I've learned more from this one book than from all the other books combined. I think Barrett Tagliarino is not only a great guitarist; he's also a great teacher. I find that just from reading this book and working the exercises in it, I understand a lot more about the fretboard and what I'm doing when I play than a lot of people who have been studying much longer. I plan to buy and work my way through every book Barrett Tagliarino has written.
Well-thought out and clear exposition on the structure of the fretboard.
This is a very well-thought out and extremely clear explanation of the structure and lay-out of the guitar fretboard that will give the diligent reader the means to both grasp the location of any note on the guitar fretboard but also use that knowledge to produce scales, arpeggios, and other musical forms appropriate to the music they seek to play. Having purchased similar books in the past, what impresses me most about this book is how each chapter is broken down into reasonable 'bite-sized' and digestable chunks of information which both build upon the previous lesson and logically lead to the next.
Absolut masterpiece
I am so called advanced guitar player. I learned playing guitar by myself and it was very long time ago. I went through rock bands, blues bands, wedding party bands and even jazz big band. But it was playing from memory or emotional. I have put my guitars on shelf for long time(too long) and couple of years ago I made myself the biggest pleasure and started music yourney again. But now my unknowledge started bother me. So I took few theory music lessons with educated musician. One then I quit, then another one … more and more expensive ones. All it was a mess – info here and there but not put logicly together. And I was lucky I found »Chord -tone soloing« and »Fretboard workbook« by Barret Tagliarino. Both absolute masterpieces. Logical, simple and easy to follow. And you realy see progress. I am sure I will be able to call myself advadced guitar player next year. How nice is play and understand, and the music is different – better. Thank you Barret for your educational skills.
great workbook
This is a worbook, it requires you to work through examples with the intention of learning how to recognize and recreate them yourself. Examples include: major/rel. minor scale patterns, pentatonic scale patterns, arpeggio patterns, triad patterns, interval patterns and chord patterns. There are also note patterns. you are responsible for learning or memorizing these. Please note that that author does not show you how to use these, he doesn't give you the context. they are for learning purposes. I would suggest his chord tone soloing book for context.
Also, you don't need to know how to read music to use this book. I think he has a seperate book that covers that aspect. It is a very useful skill if you do.
Overall this is an excellent workbook for the aspiring guitarist. It will help open the fretboard to the diligent.
Puts it all together
I definitly saw the patterns on the fretboard after, where there was just massive confusion before. If you know just a little bit of theory to start, you should have no problems getting through the excercises. In fact, the book will pretty much complete your theory training by the time you finish. You will end up having the knowlege to create any chord anywhere on the fret board. Pretty cool results for not to much time vested.
