REVIEW: “Intros, Endings & Turnarounds for Guitar”

WOW! I finally scared up a copy of a review for my book Intros, Endings & Turnarounds For Guitar—the one that ran in the December 2001 issue of GUITAR PLAYER magazine. Maaaaan, I'm not worthy!!!! What a nice bunch o' words!!

Hope I don't get busted for re-typing this sucker... :)

Intros, Endings & Turnarounds For Guitar
by Dale Turner

“From dinner jazz to boogie-woogie, delta blues to honky tonk, salsa to bluegrass, this book (including CD) presents 98 turnarounds you just gotta know. By humorously opening the book with a tongue-in-cheek circus-band intro, Turner quickly stresses that clichés are must-know phrases that can save your butt on the bandstand or in the studio. And whether you're a seasoned session cat or a weekend warrior, you're sure to find meaty maneuvers that are new to your fingers. Innovative guitarists will tweak these riffs to their liking and make them their own. Only the book's country sections seem a bit restrained—some chicken pickin' pyrotechnics would have been nice. But master this book, and you'll be able to start and stop songs in spectacular fashion. Now, about all that stuff in between....”
