Added on February 2, 2007, 1:05 pm QUOTE(echobrainproject @ Feb 2 2007, 11:58 AM) i've got this handbook for jazz musicians thats really good (I STILL CANT PLAY JAZZ). apart from covering theory, the main reason why i would recommend it is that it has alot of good advices on practicing, how to create interesting improvs, how to play in a band(especially we guitarist who always solo and no one realises our bassist..hahahaha), values(yes, even values we musicians should have), etc etc. what is the name for this jazz handbook?i think ive given led zep a copy of this book.

QUOTE(Banzai_san @ Feb 2 2007, 01:34 PM) That's the one Im thinking of getting. However, I doubt Borders will have any sure thing. i'll get back to you ya.  BTW, since you plan to go to Borders tomorrow, would you be kind enough to look for Troy Stetina's books especially Speed Mechanics.

QUOTE(stefanong @ Feb 2 2007, 05:41 PM) 1. A good chord book. Hanon Finger Exercises is a piano book and u use it to practise on the guitar ah? wah... i think i would have to write down all the notes before i can start 2. Hanon Finger Exercises. (its a classic piano exercise book but i practise the left or right hand parts...very very good) You're set. A good chord book means any good chord book or is it a book title?  |

yeah i think kinokuniya will be a better choice. It's at KLCC. I'm going to the Penang borders oh so i can't go to kinokuniya. I think borders is my best choice already.

QUOTE(Banzai_san @ Feb 12 2007, 02:57 PM) IIRC, I paid USD 289/- + international shipping USD 18/- That's really no joke ya. Hole in my pocket is getting bigger and bigger. I chosed their 3 month easy (installment) payment plan. That was when they were having a special deal. Now its USD 388/-  |
