Doubt it but I think the Leavitt Berklee ones are the best I’ve seen for electric guitar. Jim Snidero conceptions are good etudes for like … what you might see in a big band chart. Im sure...
You will probably think it does, and if you're anything like me you'd probably think it didn't quite improve - if anyone not the likes of a Campellone had done the intervention. But it seems that...
