5.0 out of 5 stars william leavitt- a modern method for guitar, complete., 14 Nov 2005
This review is from: A Modern Method for Guitar: Volumes 1, 2, 3 Complete (Paperback)
This textbook is highly recommended to anyone who wants to be able to read music for guitar. The textbook has hundreds of exercises for reading music, all of which is original material. The music becomes increasingly challanging and interesting to play; this book would completement guitar tuition, but could be used to develop basic skills alone. It's by far the best 'reading' textbook I have come across, and best jazz orientated book on the market. In a way, its not trying to force and style or correct way of playing. It provides information, a map, if you like. If you are stuck with your guitar 'method', where perhaps, you have fluidity in playing notes and chords, but cannot seem to develop tone & melody and rythm amongst other things, with this book you will find a mountain of work that will improve your're ability no end.

5.0 out of 5 stars Most Students need a Teacher, 3 Feb 2004
By C. R. Downing "Chris Downing" (Chippenham, Wilts England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: A Modern Method for Guitar: Volumes 1, 2, 3 Complete (Paperback)
This is one of the classic book sets on learning to play thoroughly. And yes as another reviewer observes you probably need a teacher to set you on the right road. (As I'm a guitar teacher I guess I would say that wouldn't I?) But this book raises some serious points about learning - do you want to just riff out on your favourites or do you really want to learn what this instrument can do. If you want to learn in depth this is one of the book series that will help - but you may need a teacher to sort out the why's and what's and how's that are not covered in the text. If you want something more simple try the Hal Leonard Guitar Method series or their Fast Track series.

Of its type this rates a 5 because its been out there for a long time and it's a course book from Berklee guitar courses.

This review is from: A Modern Method for Guitar: Volumes 1, 2, 3 Complete (Paperback)
The best i have come across - and i have looked at a lot of books and courses. Worth getting the DVD as well. The most straightforward and comprehensive course based on reading music....definitely start here!

5.0 out of 5 stars the best method
If you want to learn how to use your guitar to play music, this is THE book you need.

1.0 out of 5 stars Useless for the self-taught guitarist.
I was impressed by the fact that this is the standard text at Berklee. The problem is you really need a teacher to guise you through this book. It is also very dry. Read more
