Carl Fischer Guitar Grimoire - Progressions and Improvisations Book

I recommend this book to anyone who is experienced playing different scales and modes.

This book is so thorough. A great reference and learning tool! If you're on the fence you should get it. I guarantee you'll find useful info you didn't know you needed.

Okay, so I just purchased this today, so it maaaay be a little too early to tell how amazing this book may be, but while taking the train home from Guitar Center I was reading it and a guy asked me about the book and took a picture and told me that he's a classical musician and that he's "never seen theory explained so easily." Upon coming home and taking a deeper look at it and using it with the Guitar Grimoire Scales and Chords books, he's right. This book is very useful in conjunction with the other two, and I feel MUCH more confident in my knowledge on theory and I'm starting to work on my own little progressions. I'm also being turned onto jazz as a result of wanting to learn how to improvise more, and this book can be thanked for that inspiration. There's even a little section on how to read sheet music, which was something I wasn't looking forward to doing anytime soon, lol. Either way, I can already tell that the $30 I spent on this was completely worth it, and hope my skill will keep on improving as a result of the Guitar Grimoire

I never really liked this, due to the fact is it hard to understand their explanation on chords and progression. It's scale chart is really good, but the price brings it down and not really interested me because anyone get these scales for free in the net and is better explained. A waste of money if a beginner, and as well if an advance player. It doesn't even teach the most basic of music and that is reading it, it just goes of in the scales and chord structure, which I doubt that any beginners would understand it. Grimore is at most is a reference of scales that could be obtained in any other guitar instructional book. If you got cash to burn then buy it, but I don't advice it. I would invest in college music books than this thick book.
