 DiMeola Book Is anyone familiar with A Guide to Chords, Scales, and Arpeggios, by Al DiMeola and Bob Aslanian? Although I don't see myself attempting to play in his style, the book seems to have a lot of well-presented information, organized into daily lessons. The book has received many favorable reviews on Amazon, but -- before I try it -- I wanted to ask around on this forum to see if anyone here has worked through it. Thanks! Jeff     |

 I found the chord exercises pretty good and well thought out. I'm mostly a rhythm type player so I didn't do much with the scales or arpeggios. Brad

| Thanks, guys! I've got some gaps in my knowledge right in the areas addressed by the book, and while I don't expect it to be able to teach me to comp or improvise, I'm hoping it will give me a more solid foundation than the one I currently have. All the best, Jeff |
