Yes, I'd buy some pieces if they were available separately, as well as I'd be interested in the separated master tracks (guitar, bass, etc...). Just saying... :P I'm semiprofessional transcriber, I'm really interested in transcribing pieces exactly as they are. Yours would be fun! :) Hi Jon, thanks so much for the response.

]]> Comment on Bill Leavitt’s 5 Major Scale Fingerings by Maya http://jonfinn.com/premium-content/free-lessons/billleavitts5majorscalefingerings#comment-1871 Maya Tue, 07 Feb 2012 04:45:29 +0000 http://jonfinn.com/?p=960#comment-1871 Hello, I just fhensiid my second semester at Berklee and I am at around page 30 in volume three. I have a question in regards to the gratuitous amount of arpeggios Leavitt shows such as the four note arpeggio pages (starting with page 25 of the third volume). How much of this type of material was intended to be memorized? Is this material mostly intended to aid in quicker recognition of arpeggios when sight reading? In fact, this question even applies to the arpeggios he goes through in volume 2. I feel like just studying these pages won’t lead to any real success in using these arpeggios and other material such as the triad chords of volume 2, so how should one apply this stuff?

Some piece have been written out but never released to the public. The reason is that I never got around to tabbing them out with complete transcriptions of solos. What tunes are you interested in? Would you buy a transcription book if it were available? Or perhaps a .pdf download on a "per song" basis? Hi Dan! Some piece have been written out but never released to the public.

I talked with Greg a couple of days ago. My favorite quality of his is his ability to see the good everywhere he goes. When we spoke he was telling me "Oh, the transmission on my car just went. Oh, and the furnace died yesterday. Not the best day. But it's nice to be outside today. How're you?" Hi Cynthia! I talked with Greg a couple of days ago.

I've heard that there are unauthorized free downloads of my book out there. Be careful. Some of those sites can be a bit "dodgy" if you catch my drift! Hi Bob, Thanks for your interest in my book!
