Hi folks,
following the discussion from this thread, I've gone out on a limb and bought all 4 of Gary Chaffee's Patterns books. I've heard nothing but good things, and had them recommended time and again.
I have had chance to flick through them previously, and they look rather intimidating; not so much because of the difficulty, but the application. Those that have read a few of my posts may know that I have quite strong technical ability, but sometimes struggle with applying it, and I have a feeling that if I'm not careful with these books, I'll miss their point. So, my question is, how would you recommend I tackle these four books? Gary's website states they can be used in any order and combination, so what has worked best for you?
I have decided to dedicate substantial time to these books as I feel it is the kick my playing needs, so I'm looking to those with more experience for advice on this.
Thanks.
