Learn from the Legends: Rock Keyboard (Book & CD) [Paperback] Review

Okay, there are some nice bios and pictures of the featured keyboardists, with their personal tips quoted in the side bars. But that is fan magazine stuff. The guts of the book are the seventy or so transcribed and recorded licks. Unfortunately there is no information as to the song source. I could recognize some by ear, but the licks are presented in the "style" of the artist, so there is no guarantee of accuracy. Also the licks are generally four bars long and played only once on the CD. On the plus side each lick is referenced to a page in the book via an introductory voice over. I think the best use for this book is ear training: Hear the lick, play the lick, write down the notes and then check your results against the book transcription.
