Part Two teaches the tone groups of music – Chords, Scales and Arpeggios – by building them in the context of this pervasive pattern organization, and thereby eliminating the usual guesswork and rote memorization associated with these area… More >>

I bought this under the impression that it would delve into theory, and give me more than patterns that any musically inclined person could discover on their own.
Perhaps this would be useful to a beginning guitarist, but if you’ve played for more than a few months, taken some lessons, or have internet access, this is decidedly not worth the money.

Author relies on unconventional scale forms as the central part of his system. That’s the problem as it is with most “miracle” systems. Anyone starting out on this author’s method should understand that this system will put you automatically at odds with how the everybody else plays music.
Save your money.

“Reading” this book like reading “Philosophy” book. It contains so much theory and Logic without much of anything else such as something to use it on or how to apply to “Music”. Not much showing you “how to make music” but “how music/guitar works”. It just plain dead mind messing. Don’t waste money on them. Very disappointed after reading others review and buying them.

If you are learning the guitar, there is no silver bullet. Do yourself a favor, avoid this book and buy a copy of Leavitt’s Modern Method for Guitar 1-3 and all three volumes of Praxis and study them for a few years. I’ve bought and read a lot of different guitar books, and this is one of the few that I’ve felt totally ripped off on.
This book doesn’t really contain all that is new or not found in much better books that are out there. Probably the only interesting thing in the book is the discussion on the placement of the major third interval among the strings reducing the number of non-chord tones, which is on a single page.
The only other thing that it tries to contribute is information on how various chordal shapes interrelate to each other, but if you learn all of the triads and seventh chords in all inversions on all sets of strings and how to arpeggiate them into each other (which any good guitarist must do sooner or later), you’ll implicitly get this information.
