5.0 out of 5 stars Unquestionably the best guitar manual I've ever worked with., 24 Oct 1998

By A Customer

I've been an active guitarist for over 30 years now and nothing I've come across is as simple, as comprehensive and so univesally applicable (no matter what style of music you play) than "The Advancing Guitarist". It written so well that you'll find yourself going back to it year after year. If you could only buy one book to learn the guitar in your lifetime, this would be it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Continues to through up new material three years later..., 12 Oct 2002

By	"ors100" - See all my reviews

No - that's not because I'm a slow reader. It's because this book presents a vast spectrum of different ways to look at the technicalities of the guitar. Goodrick explains that his book isn't a "method book", but rather an essay which hints at methods but leaves much up to the reader to deduce. And that's how it should be when you reach a certain level of musicianship and need to take the next step to get 'out of a rut.' This is an essential part of every practicing musicians library.

And he taught Pat Metheny.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a 'must buy' for all guitarists, it makes sense., 2 Jun 2000

By A Customer

I run a music school in Glasgow, and for years I've always looked a great teachers for advice and guidance. This book encaspulates all that is sensible in learning the most beautiful instrument in the world. You might not be a brilliant sight-reader, no TAB, but it has plenty of relative music theory and is presented clearly and precisely. A job well done from M. Goodrick.
