very good

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An unselfish effort from a great teacher
*by R***T on November 9, 2007*

There are very few times in my life I have come across a professional teacher in ANY field who was willing to show the student as much as possible within the limits of time and space. Earl Gately definitely tops this category, for his book is CRAMMED with excellent material, guidelines that flow beautifully from understanding the nature and strengths of the various areas of the fretboard, to simply having a unique layout to the whole book. Now, it is clear that when a teacher WANTS to give his 100% and is limited by those boundaries of space and time- it is possible that one or two wrinkles may not be ironed out. The first time I went through this book, I didnt understand why he didnt tell us immediately how to invent (for lack of a better word) walking jazz basslines, instead of going through all the 15+ positions on the neck first. Then the light came on! I remembered how I went to brazil to study arranging and composing, and instead the wonderful master musician taught me the guitar and all its intricacies ONLY! I was almost peeved till I realized without him saying directly- until you stop being a slave to your instrument, how can you be its master? And the light thus went on, for Gately is TEACHING us the instrument so very well first! And then, further in the book the lessons on basslines feel oh-so complete! I adore this book. And most of all, I love that the author has been so very unselfish. One can go thru this book many times before fully getting the most out of it. I know I will. Thanks Earl! Five stars times two!
