Chord Tone Soloing: A Guitarist's Guide to Melodic Improvising in Any Style (Musicians Institute: Private Lessons) Review

This book is very useful. It is for the intermediate player. You know licks and songs, you sound good with the stuff you know, but looking at changes and using them for impromptu solos is beyond you (except for simplest roots rock, country, and blues). This book will take you to the next level, for all styles, but you will have to work at it. If you already are familiar with basic music theory (diatonic harmony, chord theory, modes), you will get some review. All in all, the book is organized well, encouraging to the student, and a true method as opposed to just a lot of scales/chords/etc. Chord-tone soloing is the basic skill for those who want to play what they hear in their heads as opposed to learning riffs and note-by-note solos. That is what this book is about. I am about 1/3 through and am already improving.

This book is not for the beginner or advanced player (you can already solo against some sophisticated changes.)
