I found this book very good to record my own songs. I have had an 8 track recorder for some time now, but everything sounded too thick, muddled etc. This book helped to learn to layer and create space.
A Useful Book...but mostly for Guitarists
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This song covers traditional arrangement techniques. It is mostly suited to guitarists...not so much keyboardists. It has insightful info, but doesn't offer much in terms of experimental or unconventional arrangement techniques, which would have been nice. It's not one of Rooksby's best books, but it's still good (which says something)!
