(Reference). Veteran musician and educator Mick Goodrick presents practical information for guitarists who want to improve their playing technique and style and simply become better musicians. Rather than a step-by-step method book; the information is presented in a general essay format; discussing ways that the various techniques covered may be applied by the advancing guitarist to enhance his/her own style of playing; some of the areas discussed include: basic fingerboard mechanics * modes; scales and chords * contemporary harmony * harmonica and overtone influences * being self-critical * improvising short pieces * different playing situations.

Will be loved by anyone who ever had anything to do with the Uptown area of Minneapolis. Highly recommended - should have been at least twice as long! Would have given it 5 stars were it not so poorly made. A few pages at both the front and back quite literally have fallen out! Pity that! Otherwise GREAT!2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Nostalgic and enjoyable.By William M. WendelBook format is historical photos with extended captions; grouped by subject matter. No real narrative to tie it all together. Very enjoyable overall; however; and recommended for anyone whos familiar with and already appreciates the area for what its been in their own lives. I grew up in this area; so the book was nostalgic for me; but I also learned many things I did not already know; such as the Ice Follies beginning there; as started by Lake of the Isles skaters.
