The Gig Bag Book of Practical Pentatonics for All Guitarists (Gig Bag Books)

It is a great over view of a lot of things you could do with Pentatonics, but it does not go very deep into them. This may work for you if you are self-motivated and like to experiment. If you like tons of examples/licks for things, this may not be for you.

Came two wk. after I ordered it but the material is worthwhile and the author's knowledge is encyclopedic w/out bogging the student down in theories and more theories --- GREAT BOOK for all levels.

Seems to have a lot of information. Just have not used it to its fullest yet.

I loved it!

This book helps me practice practice practice

I had found myself playing the same pentatonic patterns/licks/etc over & over during blues/rock/country-rock/funk/etc solos and was stuck in a rut. This book got me out of the rut by showing how to play licks in different patterns and starting points. There are well over 500 licks in this book, many that I had never tried before. I highly recommend this book for lead guitar players who need some inspiration.

just picked up this book yesterday. ive been playing guitar for about 9 or 10 months, and of course ive learned pentatonics and scales. but, i know often alot of learners (such as myself) would feel they just dont know what 'to do' with them!thats where this book really helped. it leads you by example and lets you get into some pentatonic riffs to get your creative gears going. what i really enjoy too is the comments...sometimes it will explain how a certain riff is good to repeat back to back, or, how the following riff has a bluesy or funky feel to it. all great comments by the author.over all, wonderful little book for the intermediate guitarist looking to learn by example, and help him or her get going on some improvisation.
