- What people are saying:
-
- My teacher recommended New York Guitar Method Ensemble Book One to prepare for being a performance major at college. That turned out to be some of the best advice I ever received. I’m nailing the ensembles and got into some of the top bands. Reading is crucial in college and if I want to have a shot at a professional career in music. The ensemble book was terrific for getting my reading chops happening. Let’s get honest sight reading isn’t exactly the most interesting thing in the world, so the variety of exercises really helps even when the going gets tough. I totally recommend this if you are looking to improve your sight reading. M. Miles
- I purchased both the New York Guitar Method Volume One and the “New York Guitar Method Ensemble Book One”. The two books complement each other nicely. Each chapter of both books deals with one scale, so I worked 1 hour a day from both books. 24 weeks later I really feel like I KNOW scales. The articulation and modal sequencing info got me playing the scales in really cool ways too, so they aren’t just notes. I feel like I’m getting to be the guitarist I want to be. H. Czerny
- Mr. Arnold recommended I start with the “New York Guitar Method Volume One” and New York Guitar Method Ensemble Book One. I went to college for a few semesters and then dropped out, but I wanted to continue my music studies on my own terms. I wasn’t sure if I could even approach sounding like Metheny or Scofield, their ability is so awesome. These books have all the info I need to master scales and so far I am making real good progress. But as Mr. Arnold stated in an email to me. “Scales is just one way of many ways to improvise.” So I’m looking forward to moving on to The New York Guitar Method Volume Two which covers Approach Notes which Mr. Arnold calls the backbone of jazz lines. I think if you are a serious student of jazz or rock and want a complete education in music then the The New York Guitar Method series is a great place to start. And any questions about the books you can always shoot Bruce an email. Great system, great concept, get it you won’t be sorry. R. Johanssen.
- I started with the The New York Guitar Method series as a beginner. 2 years later I’m now starting New York Guitar Method Volume One with the New York Guitar Method Ensemble Book One too. I’m guessing this will take me about 1 year to get through the book. Some of it is a review. I’ve already played through 10 of the scales just have to get through the modes of melodic minor ascending and a few other scales. This series is well thought out and you can see why it’s used by so many musicians from every level. It’ll require a strong commitment on your part but if you have that then these books are excellent. A. Lopez.
