Anyone here familiar with the Keyboard Grimoire Book?

[m0zart]

I was looking at this book, seemed decent, but was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on it, used, applied, hate it, etc...

Thx.

Well, I have a couple of the guitar DVD'S (they were on sale)

I am an ok guitar player, and I am way better than this guy.......BUT........his knowledge of music is off the hook. I mean I did BIT, some berklee online classes, and have taught bass guitar, but there is something about the way he puts it together that is very smart indeed.

So, I don't know about the keyboard book, but if it isn't overpriced.............go for it...........

Thanks for the reply.
I guess my main question is, how do you interpret it?
I have a few classes of theory under my belt, have a good grasp of what he is talking about when it comes to the scales.

The chords are different. do you have the book?
If so, we could do a comparison on a certain page. He lists the Guitar patterns in this book as well.

Thanks again for the help.

What are you trying to get out of this book? I took a look at it and it seemed nothing more than a compilation of scales. It is thorough, but I'd say it's definitely a reference tool as opposed to a book that actually teaches you how to play.

I apologize if you know this already, I'm not sure what level you're playing at. From the look of your name though, you might be quite an advanced musician.

Explaination of the book (how to use it and a little on theory) are the first twenty +/- pages. Also being a guitarist, I found it useful to tooling around on the piano and sturcturing new chords based on the patterns that he provides...so I mostly use it for ideas and direction (as it has the guitar and bass scale structures on the side, quick and easy solo). It's allright.

There is also a purple one that I break out now and then about progressions or something like that.

Hey, thanks for the reply.

Basically trying to see if there is more to it than what you stated, just scales and reference material.

I read the first 18 pages and started wanted to know how it would help with song creation.

Are there books that explain in better detail, chord progressions?

Some may be a little on the dead side by now but most are good and some may even be relevant...

Well I thought it was nice that it has all of the modes, and scales for just about everything you can think of...

Thank you very much!!!
