 Great Guide!, 2008-08-28
A very good guide on soloing. It is not for the beginner, but even for the intermediate player it is a challange. It will be well worth it's price, and well worn by the time I am done with it. This is my second book by Barrett Tagliarino and I highly recommend it.

Exactly what I was looking for, 2008-08-26
As a rhythm guitarist for years I struggled with writing solos. Mr. Tagliarino's method has proven excellent in showing me how to make the leap to lead guitar. Although I wouldn't recommend this book by itself as I found some of the material needing further explanation, I would wholeheartedly recommend it for any aspiring guitarist's library.

 Great for beginner/early intermediate students, 2008-06-20
The title of the book is a litle deceptive. I would have guessed that it would be about arpeggios, when in fact it covers scales/modes as well. Of course, as you play the scales, the chord tones are the connecting points. In short, I can see how this book could be useful for a guitarist who wants to move beyond the basic rock stuff and start playing music with a more sophisticated harmonic basis. However, if you're already conversant with using scales and arpeggios over chord changes, you're not going to pick up anything new here.

 Barrett's a Great Teacher!, 2008-06-03
Chord-Tone Soloing is one of the few books on the market that looks at a very important topic in guitar playing. Athough most amateurs are unaware of it, the majority of great guitar solos, especially those that aren't blues based, are very tied into chord tones, and most great players, whether they are fully conscious of it or not, hit chord tones at just the right moments in their solos. That's why theirs sound so much better than ours do!
In this book Barrett Tagliarino, who is much more concerned with teaching than he is showing off, tells you what notes to target and just as importantly, when to hit them. Indeed, there is a lot in here about timing, which is something those of us who have never practiced with a metronome or had formal training need some help with. I'm not just talking about having a "natural" sense of rhythm; I'm describing the ability to hit certain tones on certain beats so they really stand out. Barrett explains this quite well.
If you are wondering why just wanking around the pentatonic scale doesn't sound right in some songs, or if your soloing is in a major rut, check out this fine book. And give it time--many of these exercises take practice and patience, but in the end, your soloing will be vastly improved.

 WAY too basic., 2008-04-23
I was expecting intermediate to advanced instruction from this book about chord tone soloing. This book starts from VERY BASIC instruction, and works itself up to basic/intermediate soloing. The first solo in the book, as the author calls it, consists of two notes! Just two, in order, played over and over. Don't buy this book unless you are a very basic beginner!
