ive been thinking about buying it for a while, looks very helpful and im sure most of you would agree. over 700 exercises! no more looking up on the internet for things to improve my playing

plenty of material to get through and should take a while to work through the whole book

anyways i just want your opinion if any of you own/want to own this book.
cheers.

I took a peek at it here
It seems to be a series of chromatic excercises, each one starting on a different finger. Not very musical, but I'm sure it will get your hands in shape.

Can't hurt to take a look, not sure of the exchange rate - looks a little beyond the going price I normally pay ($18 - $25 US), but, if you want it what the heck. I have a stack of instruction books over three feet high. I really do not want to know what I have invested in those books. Beyond the joy of reading them I got something out of each one. Some more than others, however, all had something of value.

My first thought; who needs 700 riffs? But, if you can pick up eight to ten new ideas that should be worth what the book costs.

Go for it.
