5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, 16 April 2008

Dave Thompson (England) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Modern Reading Text in 4/4: For All Instruments (Paperback)

This is THE essential book for learning to sight read rhythms. It is designed for people who have a basic knowledge of reading notation though, and the explanation isn't fantastic if you don't have that basic knowledge. However if you DO have a basic knowledge of rhythms then practice your way though this book stamping the beats with your feet and clapping and vocalising the rhythm. This book made me a rhythm guitar player. And it can make anybody who puts the hours in also a brilliant rhythm reader on any instrument. IF YOU'RE SERIOUS ABOUT PLAYING MUSIC WELL, THEN BUY THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mr. D. M. Mcdonnell (W. London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Modern Reading Text in 4/4: For All Instruments (Paperback)

This is an essential book for improving your rhythm reading skills and as a contemporary guitarist on a music degree it's been invaluable for expanding my grasp of complex and syncopated rhythms.

5.0 out of 5 stars a good buzz
You get a whole lot of different rhythms to read, every bar is different. The idea is to read from the start to the end of each exercise, although you can of course repeat any bar... Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Good - As far as it goes
First the bad points. There is hardly any explaination at all in the book. It merely has two pages of text before it dives in to the exercises. Read more
