Student Reviews: The Diminished Scale: A Modern Jazz Guitar Approach - Part 3

This whole series on the Diminished scale is fantastic! Tom is a master teacher. He has a way of making everything very easy to understand, even when dealing with complex subjects. He gives plenty of examples which are by themselves excellent means to digest the material, while on the other hand it's easy to figure out new ways for practicing these exercises, in order to personalize them according to your own level and interests. I own several of Lippincott's videos and they all have the same level of excellence. <br /> I am a practicing musician and a college professor, and these teachings serve me well in both areas. I find it easy to know how to apply these concepts to my own playing (I've been playing for almost 30 years), but I also easily adapt the same concepts to teach my beginner/intermediate students. The method of organization has helped me in organizing my lessons better.<br /> I could not be happier with these courses!<br /> These videos are worth so much more than the price you pay for them.<br />

I hope nobody is getting skeptical at my generally constant raving about all of Tom's classes, but every single one I have bought, including this tremendous Diminished Series, is superbly well organized, well- laid out, filled with new and unique ideas, and Tom has such incredible mastery of all the material that I have never once had a moments hesitation to buy as soon as I see a new offering, even though I am retired and living on a fixed income; these wonderful classes have a spot in my budget no matter what.

Like Tom's previous lessons, I've found all three of his latest lessons based on the Diminished scale to be excellent value. He presents the material in a very comprehensive and clear manner. I have never been disappointed with any of his lessons.<br /> <br /> Highly recommended<br /> <br /> Thanks again Tom and Mike.<br /> <br /> Pat Lajoie
