Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is another great Joe Diorio book. He breaks 'Giant Steps' down into manageable bits to digest. Lot's of ideas presented,(both linear and chordal), including rhythmic variations. If you go through this honestly you can't help but get better. I think Joe is the master of the 'cool motif' meaning that his licks are memorable and can be taken out of context even to other genres like rock. In this case 'Giant Steps' has repeating chordal clusters two whole steps removed in general and the astute guitarist will get 20 to 30 excellent riffs for each chordal structure. It seems like alot of work for just one tune but it's very justified. It's even in tab which is shocking ! Joe puts alot of himself into these books and his mental energies when it comes to licks and harmonic ideas seem boundless !If you buy this try the triplet lead pass,(I think it's #5). That solo alone is worth the price of admission but as in all J.D. books it's just the tip of the iceberg !
