  • I’m an amateur with a few years of on-and-off guitar playing experience. I found that using this book in front of my computer is a very effective way to dramatically improve my electric guitar soloing, while keeping me focused and having fun in the process. No teacher and no strict practicing schedule are necessary.

    I started with one of the solos (”25 or 6 to 4″, IMHO one of the greatest ever recorded as well as one of the most challenging ones), read about it, then started learning it section by section using the CD. After downloading an update of the the Amazing Slow-Downer (Lite) software [..]

    In case you’re wondering, the solo covers (by anonymous professional musicians) are very accurate. If you’re picky and do a careful comparison with the original you may notice slight differences here and there, but they don’t really matter to the learning experience.

    The stories behind each solo are fascinating on their own and provide a richer overall experience, as well as something to think about while practicing.

    With a wide range of great solos and techniques to pick from, this book can provide many months of fun. For its price, the value is exceptional.

  • Has some insight about how to get put on, but not much more than I already knew about.

  • Great ideas for starting your own publishing company, but the book is more focused on the song plugger. A better book for publishing company start-up is “Start & Run Your Own Record Label,” by Daylle Schwartz.

  • Everyone wants at some point in life to be independent and the master of his own destiny and if your destiny is the music industry then you’re in for a big surprise. The music industry is a secluded and closed world, hard to get in and even harder to keep from getting thrown out. Many small record companies have tried and failed at hitting it of with quality products just because they didn’t know many things about this world. The book in question here is a very good Bible for those who don’t know all about the music industry and want to refine their tactics or learn some new ones.

  • Not only do you get tab and playing instructions for 25 amazing solos – the introductions for each guitarist are fascinating. Chad Johnson’s writing style is straightforward and easy to read. He also includes quotes from each artist, photos, and album covers. If you use the CD on a PC or MAC, you can try the ‘amazing slow-downer’ option which lets you change the tempo to any practice speed. The solos are performed note-for-note with a full band. Johnson’s ‘How to Play It’ sections are extremely helpful.
