Title: Not for beginners
Review: This book is 50 tabbed out phrases in different styles, and demonstrated with backing tracks on a CD. There is very little explanation about each phrase...just a short paragraph before each one. The phrases are intermediate to advanced. A beginner would be very frustrated. Fast phrases are played in both fast and slow speeds...medium and slow phrases are just played once. If you are already technically proficient, this is a good book. It does have nice phrases that will expand your repertoire. The phrases are called "ideas" and each uses a different technique. So it gets you to branch out. But this book does NOT teach you how to DO the technique. Only ideas on how it to use it. So you'd better know how to do it already!
