Mattias,

I bought your ebook, and I'm waiting for confirmation.

A couple of things:

1.  It doesnt tell you what will happen once someone pays.  This is against PayPal policies, you may want to get that checked.  There is no download link provided and nothing that states when and how I'll get that book.  I also have not received any order acknowledgement from you (its been 30 minutes) This is a good way to see a lot of reversals.   This is also against PayPal policy.

2.  I bought it specifically for the price and to review it.  I am always looking to keep people that presume to teach "honest" and true to their claims.  I have no need for the book, but I do have a need that everyone that claims to do what they claim follows through with it.


(edit - just received acknowledgement, it took about 40 minutes)  You may want to tell people up front what the process is, before they commit to the funds, so they have a chance to decide if that is acceptable to them or not - its just good policy.

As it is now, I understand that I need to wait up to 6 hours for the product to be delivered.

I will keep the good folks here at Olly's forum posted and updated as to my impressions of the product and the experience of the transaction.

Best,

Instructor

Re: 299 Guitar Licks + 10 Backing Tracks

Well to update my review, Matias has managed to work in a slow speed version (60%) and a full speed version examples!  He said he'd need a few weeks, but it looks to me like he went out there and grabbed the bull by the horns on this!

Anyways, as of yesterday, I tested the latest version of the product out, and sent him my thoughts.  The bottom line here, is that for 5.00 you are getting something that far exceeds this price in value.

I would also say that it has a lot more claim as a teaching tool.  10 backing tracks, a PDF of 299 licks, played at 2 speeds, and most of these licks are very much in the melodic realm, and are downright tasty.

In a sense you have everything that you need, for self-study to get some great melodic playing under your belt because of this latest change.  Let me tell you a few ways that I can see already how to use it.

1.  Exploring intervals and sequences.  The licks and jamming tracks coincide.  Want to play in Lydian, or experiment?  My suggestion is open the pdf to the Lydian chapter, get the backing track loaded, and start interpreting the tab against the backing track.  Use your own melodic rhythm.  Explore the pitch collections of the lick and vary it up while listening to the track, and especially the intervals of the lick.  Playing this way in context can give you an idea of the authors thinking, but because Lydian tracks can take on different forms, its useful just to explore the overall intervallic ideas against the track.

2.  I have a program we use at the Academy called Guitar Speed Trainer, and we have an exclusive development partnership with it's creator.  What I like to do is take a lick and input it into the GST as a custom exercise, and set my metronome to gradually increase, and voila, custom chops building exercise that I can chart and maintain a record of.  Do 5 licks a day for a week, and in a month you'll have gained some serious chop building, on 20 or so hot licks!

3.  If the speeds of some of these licks, are still too great for some of these licks you can copy the tabs into Guitar Pro, or its alternative, Tux Guitar, and set the metronome marking at 25%-50% of the speed and you can work on licks that way.

Overall I think we have a solid value here in which the quality and now, teaching/learning value is much higher, and for the money, there's no down side to this any more.  The only thing about it, is that most people will never fully make use of the licks, there are so many you could go for years and still not finish learning them.  Most likely it will be an "ideas bank" where, let's say you're in a playing rut, and you need an outside way of playing, to break it, this is a great way to inspire some creative ways of playing and improvising.  I say this especially because the way he tends to write licks tends to fall on the melodic side rather than the step-wise shredder thing way where its one note after another.

Most of the licks are 4 bar ones, so there are plenty of sub lick ideas you can grab from just one lick example.

Anyways, as far as I know his latest version is now ready.  I think it would be a class act if he would extend the courtesy of a free pdf upgrade, to those who may have already purchased the first version.  I will mention this to him.

Matias is a man of few words, but its clear that he cares about the quality of his work.

Best,

Instructor
