I purchased the book and CD package. I was so excited, I could hardly wait to receive it. Wow, what a let down.
On the CD, the musicanship is just not cutting it, it is embarrasingly choppy playing. The guitarist seems to be reading the piece as opposed to having mastered it. Where's the fluidity? This is embarrisingly amaturish and painful to listen to. Folks, I just can't listen to it and I tried many, many times. I've asked others to listen to it, thinking it might be me. It lack tenderness, warmth and soul and timing.
No spirit here what so ever. It reminds me of a musican who loves and respects an artist with all of their heart but just can't play or even arrange the artist. That's OK, but when you put a eye catching cover on it and pass it off saying here it is! That's different. If you don't believe me ask the publisher to make some sound bites of this product available.
I'm sorry to be so harsh but I bought the dramatic cover and now I'm telling it like it is. There is nothing inside this book but a "can't even listen to it approach to Bill Evan's for guitarist". very little here that's interesting, This come across as a finger style home studio product that lacks warmth,tenderness soul and technique. these are short somewhat complicated by amature feeling pieces. A waste of my time and money. I'm not happy to say it, But ... This is not it! I only commend the author and producer on the attempt.
