The Frank Gambale Technique, Bk 1: The Essential Soloing Theory Course for All Guitarists, Book & Online Audio (Manhattan Music Publications, Bk 1) Paperback – December 1, 1993

A great player who is a great teacher. This is the tremendous book with a lot of information packed in. It will take time to master it all but it is essential to improvising in the jazz idiom. This book is not for beginners. It helps if you read music when are you working through the book.

Never a let down, I have other lesson products from Frank Gambale and this is right up there at the top. Very concise well mapped out and easy to digest. It contains a CD, explaining each lesson in detail and has standard notation as well as tab for the non reading guitarist, as well as picking direction that he uses. The selling point for this was the area where he makes use of triads for improvisation, all in all it is a winner! If anyone is unfamiliar with this mans outrageous command of the guitar and his fluent runs with monster speed and proficiency, go you tube him and you too will want to get your hands on this material...

This is a great book if your stuck in rut playing the same licks and phrases you already know.Frank walks you through methodically and explains the theory behind soloing that will open your playing to fresh hip sounds.I use a looper pedal and work on these ideas over recorded tracks.I have many books on guitar playing but this is my favorite.

The perfect basic improv method for me. I bought 20 years ago and again this year to refresh music improv knowledge.Highly recommended.

Rich in content, yet a very simple, easy to comprehend approach.

Awesome. But not for the beginner. A solid grasp on music theory is required or the book will be useless for you.

Very useful when applied. I recommend getting some guitar tab paper, and writing out theses arpeggios in different positions in the neck, taking it a small step at a time, breaking them down into on octave at first.

Exactly what I wanted
