Summary: A good workout and good advice
Comment: The work-out referred to in the title makes up only a small part of this book, but it is worth the price in my view. The exercises start very easy but gradually become more challanging. Each work out consisits of five different exercises:
1. A warm up based on chord changes which promote finger independence.
2. Arpeggios- good ear, as well as finger training
3. Scales- more ear and finger training
4. Finger twisters- sets some initially awkward fingering patterns to help improve finger independence as well as right hand technique.
5. Endurance.
You do each exercise fo a maximum of 2 minutes within which you need to play it a certain number of times. The number of repititions increases and eventually you move on to the next- moer difficult- set of exercises.
It is good for instilling a bit of dicipline into your guitar practice. Its only ten minutes, but I have been suprised at how much good it does.
The exercises would probably be suitable up to the intermediate guitarist. The author provides some useful information on how to deelop you own exercises to continue beyond what is provided here.
In addition to the workout there is a bit of a grab-bag of advice on everything from buying gear, some music theory and playing in a band. The CD also includes some tracks to demonstrate different types of effects- reverb, chorus etc. The book is written in an entertaining and easy going style and while it is mainly pitched at a young audience, it isn't grating on older eyes.
I reccomend it. When I moved house and couldn't find my copy, I bought another one.
The only bad thing is that it isn't always perfectly clear what constitutes a single repitition for each exercise.
