Okay, let's get real here.. $15.00, Best Deal Ever
I stumbled onto this text at the local library, thumbed through some pages and BANG! Chapters and headings are exactly what I have been scratching my brain to study and internalize, so I checked it out.
I am a listen, search, watch, observe, read and re-read a book until I absorb what I want kind of study guy, and actually found some things in this book that I have not found elsewhere.
Next step, buy the book so I can mark it up with highlights, bookmarks and notes, only one problem (this problem was identified in reviews for the current edition), the current edition is much smaller which affects how I would use the book. So I looked for a used edition which was the original 8.25" by 11" size. No love there, expensive and spotty on included audio resources. A used copy was not a solution I could use for the way I study. So, in minor desperation, I glanced at the Kindle edition, hey, 15 bucks, much cheaper than a hit or miss guitar lesson, where sometimes I end up teaching the teacher. I pulled the trigger and bought it.
The Kindle edition mitigated all my concerns about my requirements, I could view the text and diagrams in full screen on my monitors, listen and watch audio and video help files on my laptop, markup and take notes as needed. Don’t need to force the book to conform to being stable on a music stand. Also I found the included audio and video media to be very interesting, supportive and useful. A bonus, I was able to download all chapter specific audio tracks.
Funny thing, found a Podcast about Guitar Theory where the presenter spoke at my baud rate and made sense, discussing topics in a way that made it worth my time to listen. Well, that Podcaster turned out to be the author of this book, there’s one for synergy.
