Un gran libro escrito de forma muy cercana, muy completo abarca muchos aspectos de armonía, improvisación, arreglos, etc, la verdad es que no conocía libro parecido. Todos los que he leído son más académicos con lecciones típicas, pero este me ha sorprendido gratamente por abordar de forma eficaz los entresijos de la improvisación. Recomendable 100% a cualquiera que quiera progresar como músico, no solo para guitarristas, creo que puede ser muy interesante a cualquier músico. Un placer, espero que salgan más publicaciones con esta calidad.

Ya compré otro libro del mismo autor y me gustó mucho. Este tiene un enfoque muy práctico, con ejercicios y mp3. Hay mucho trabajo para hacer. Desarrollo de solos y frases, uso de muchas escalas, arpegios. Muy completo. Un libro para tener siempre a mano si te interesa improvisar.
