The Acoustic Guitar Bible Book/2CD Pack Eric Roche Books Reviews
- Eric is gone, but his guitar playing and his book(s) remain; not a great exchange as we'd rather he be here with us, but he left a legacy. A truly great guitar player and a wonderful teacher, he left us too soon. This book is exactly what you'd think it is the Bible of acoustic (fingerstyle, mostly) guitar playing instruction/lessons. Work your way through this book with patience and dedication and you will be a fine, fine player when you're finished.
- Eric Roche was an excellent guitarist and evidently an excellent educator as well. I am very impressed with this book. If you are trying to get an overview of the acoustic guitar, this is the best book I have seen. It covers history, construction, hand care,technique, alternate tunings, etc. If you're a beginner you will need/want other material but I found this to be a valuable resource. 5 Stars and a debt of gratitude!
- I miss Eric.... what an amazing player... tragic he died so young.
- I buy a lot of guitar books and music. If you are a casual player or a serious player this book can help both. Good tips and techniques.
- Starting in the mid-'90s, I regularly bought the English magazine 'Guitar Techniques' whenever I could lay my hands on it here in Germany, simply for Eric's great acoustic section and beautiful playing on the CD that accompanied the magazine. The few short remarks that introduced each piece conveyed a great warmth and quiet humour; Eric was, even at a distance, a great teacher.
I was delighted to find this book - as another reviewer says, Eric's originality and the completeness of his mastery of fundamentals are reflected in its structure and writing.
I had bought several other guitar books before this one, but for acoustic guitar, along with Jamey Abersold's, this is the one I reread most often. - This is one of the best finger-style acoustic guitar instruction books,
but, whoever did it, editing on this book is one of the worst I've ever read.
While reading music, sometimes I refer to tabs to see the preferred finger positions,
then I realized that some tabs are so wrong....ex 2 exercises on pg37.
Please read carefully, if needed, make your own correction.
Other than that, the book and CDs are really good.
R.I.P. Eric - Eric (R.I.P.) was a great musician and a great teacher (please see his web-site) and unlike most other tutors, this has been very carefully thought out and worked up from scratch. Any guitarist would benefit from owning this I think, regardless of the stage they are at. It is outstanding and comprehensive and comes with two CDs.
- I have owned this book for a little over a year now, and still go back to it all the time. Very well written, very informative. Still working on learning some of his transcriptions.
