 Review \n"Rick Peckham has gathered some powerful musical ideas into an\naccessible volume. It's a great self-study guide for a guitarist who is\nready to step into new territory. Rick is with you all the way. I hear\nhis voice in advice like, 'It's good to know a lot of things, but it's\neven better to know how to use a few things in a lot of different\nways.' I first heard some of these musical ideas in Bill Evans' piano\nplaying. Later, I heard Lenny Breau adapt them to his solo style.\nThese are big ideas that you can use in a lot of ways."\n--John Knowles, CGP\nFrom the Back Cover \n"Modal Voicings for Guitar does a great job of breaking down chord\nplaying for guitarists. It's practical and clear and moves from simple\nthings to a full range of harmonic colors. It will help guitarists to\nget away from just playing 'grips' and help them to make real\nmusic. I like Rick's approach!"\n--John Scofield\n"Rick Peckham was one of my most important teachers when I was\nin school at Berklee College of Music. Being in his Thelonious Monk\nEnsemble was a highlight of my student years.

Rick has presented\na masterful and comprehensive exploration into the world of\nmodal playing, unpacking the theoretical as well as the practical\nimplementation of this sound. This book serves as great asset to any\nguitar player looking to become more versed in the realm of modern\njazz guitar."\n--Julian Lage\n"Rick Peckham shares his mastery of modal harmony via accessibly\nnotated musical examples that explore a variety of practical harmonic\nsituations. These studies will aid in developing a sophisticated\nsyncopated rhythmic style and a real-world application of modern\njazz/fusion chord voicings. I learned a lot working through the\nexamples, and I know they will be of great value to anyone serious\nabout improving their understanding of modal harmony and the\ntechnique involved in performance."\n--Sheryl Bailey\n"I had the chance to study at Berklee with Rick Peckham, one of the\nmost remarkable guitar teachers and performers.
