A great buy! (11/11 people found this helpful)
I thought this book was an excellent introduction to slide guitar. It gives a good foundation of the basic technique, plenty of useful exercises, not too much theory and some full songs which can make you sound semi-decent. The lessons are really well structured and the accompanying CD is a big help.
Probably a bit too basic if you're already a fairly decent guitar player, but for an average player like me it was just about the right level.
Just great! (11/11 people found this helpful)
This book is really, really amazing! A bold statement to make in the first line of a review, but very true! It covers everything, right from the very start, including even how to wear the slide itself. You can actually see the music you're playing building up as you go through the book, and you can then use the techniques you've learned to play the many full songs in there!
Of course, if you don't quite get any part of the book, it's all on the included CD, right down to the very last example! In addition, David Hamburger's writing style makes learning slide guitar both fun and humourous as he throws in quirks and jokes in random places. If you're looking for a good, solid base to start playing slide guitar, this is certainly the book for you, and will keep you going for quite some time!
