A collection of eight classic American screenplays.......2000-12-26
This third volume in the Best American Screenplays series features the complete scripts of eight classic movies covering a wide range of genres, from the quiet character study of Horton Foote's "Tender Mercies" to the black comedy of Colin Higgins' "Harold and Maude" to the monumental epic of "The Godfather" and its sequel "The Godfather, Part II" scripted by Mario Puzo and Francis Ford Coppola, which means you have adaptations from popular novels as well as purely original works. The scripts also cover over a half-century of films, from 1940's "The Great McGinty" by Preston Sturges to 1992's "Unforgiven" by David Webb Peoples. You also have two very different scripts co-written by Billy Wilder with "Sunset Boulevard" (with Charles Brackett & D. M. Marshman, Jr.) and the film noir classic "Double Indemnity" (with Raymond Chandler). As collections of script go, this one is pretty hard to top. The scripts are presented in two columns to a page rather than in proper "script" form, so it is more like reading a newspaper than anything else. If you are interested in learning from the masters, teaching a class in playwriting or film studies, or simply love several of the films included herein, this collection will be of value to you. Certainly the price is what you would expect from a college "textbook" nowadays.

Customer Reviews:
Good Book.......2007-09-13
Good book for starters...author explains basics like fingure positioning, in detail before moving to the next level...
The Best in Its Kind.......2007-08-05
If are a begginer and have failed with many toher books, this is the last book your should need. With this book you can work on your own or find an instructor to get you going. Bruce doesn't teach you how to play songs, he teaches you rhythm patterns and strive to groove your rhythm.
My chord shifting/holding and rhythm has improved a lot (of course I should have made more efforts). Do your part (practising regularly) and you'll find yourself you can be a guitarist. The rhythms on CD are so beautiful and the quality is excellent. One thing Bruce could have done was helping with "counting" (such as 1 e & da, etc.) and play the examples in slower tempos. I also have his "Ryhthm Guitar" (the Complete Guide).
On the side note, Bruce Buckingham could be the best rhythm guitar player on earth.
Guitar Basics Level 1.......2007-07-12
I have been teaching guitar for a number of years and this book would be the best learning aid I have come across. The lessons are interesting and arranged in an excellent way. Chords, strumming, scales, rhythm playing are easy and manageable for the beginner. There are sections on the blues, movable chord shapes, inversions. A good section on practice tips and the audio cd is well done. Bruce Buckingham is a good teacher and he is able to communicate all the basics well. The logical step up from this book is another Bruce Buckingham book, "Rhythm Guitar The Complete Guide".
This book is more in depth but is really the complete guide to guitar playing for the beginner, intermediate student. Great stuff!
Excellent Guitar Refresher Course .......2007-06-20
This is a good book if you want to get away from all the "licks & tricks"
guitar method books out there on the market.This book gives you the first
steps to really understanding the guitar & its primary function in a music
setting.You can learn by rote & imitation or you can truly understand the
chords that make up songs & the rhythms within them.By learning chords &
progressions,this book helps you play the universal ingredients in all
popular song forms.This book along with Jody Fisher's "I used to play
guitar" are excellent if you want to build a strong foundation.If you
really want to understand what it takes to be a compitent guitarist,start
with this book!
Just what I needed to start playing for real.......2007-02-27
I've been fiddling with the guitar for years now, without making any progress. It's tough being married, with kids, a job, and other hobbies to get serious with lessons and everything. I found this book gives enough direction to make real progress in short practice sections. The steps are deceptively simple; you'll learn a principle, and then you'll be responsible to practice it until it's right.
Even with just a little time I'm filling in a lot of gaps in my playing. I'm learning open chords I ignored before. I'm getting much better at my transitions. My fingers are getting stronger. In just a few weeks, I've advanced more than in many years of goofing around. This book is well worth the price.

How to Play Guitar 2 Ed: The Basics and Beyond
ASIN: 0879303999 |
Customer Reviews:
The Book is okay but it's the CD that makes this a GOOD buy!.......2002-05-28
Sure, the book goes over some of the basics and there are better books out there but I personally bought this for the CD. The CD has 3 blues jam tracks that allow you to wail away on your own improvised leads. Also, if you're having problems tuning your guitar both the book and the CD are a big help. Furthermore, for those of you who have trouble understanding all the little symbols and numbers that make up tablature, Larry Carlton completely defines how to play Tablature on his guitar as you listen to the CD and follow along in the book.
Only Fair.......2002-03-16
Introduces topics without prior explanation. Little theory on how to apply the content. There's better books out there.
Good book - easy to understand, nice diagrams and charts.......1998-12-08
I found this to be a pretty decent book for showing you the basics of guitar playing, soloing, etc. It's probably better if you already know at least a little bit of guitar.. the ablsolute beginner might be a bit lost. Wicked finger picking section! One and 3/4 thumbs up!
An okay book, but I feel there are better ones out there.......1998-06-12
For a basic overview of guitar playing, this book does the trick, but the examples and explanations are not up to par. The CD is okay, but annoying because it all goes too quickly. I learned more from the Mel Bay Chord diagrams than from this book which supposedly explains guitar playing. A good fingerpicking section, but forget about their lead guitar sections, just a bunch of scales, no explanations or anything.

Actually there exists only one major pentatonic scale, and it is identical to the minor pentatonic scale. It can be transposed and played in various positions on the guitar fretboard; this book will show you how to do that. When you're ready to learn about other pentatonic scales, get hold of PENTATONIC SCALES FOR THE JAZZ-ROCK KEYBOARDIST by Jeff Burns.

From the supplier: Insurance brokers believe that the Republican victory in the 1994 Congressional mid-term elections dooms any chance for reform of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration Act. Extant reform legislation incorporates employee mandates, a vehicle for reform that brokers do not feel will find favor with Congressional Republicans. The brokers say that their clients feel stifled by extant occupational health and safety regulations, particularly small employers, due to the massive paperwork needed to fulfill the regulations' mandates.

Don't Merge Your Nonprofit Until You Read This Book.......2001-09-08
"Don't merge without it!"
This book is invaluable when your nonprofit is going through any form of strategic restructuing, up to and including mergers. As someone who has participated in nonprofit merger negotiations--both as a consultant and a board member representing a nonprofit--I believe this book can make the difference between success and failure.
Not only does David La Piana talk the talk in this book, he has also walked the walk. As an Executive Director of a nonprofit for many years--and having successfully led that organization through several mergers--La Piana understands the realities facing nonprofit managers and board members. His approach to strategic restructuring is pragmatic, and has enabled his consulting firm to become THE experts on nonprofit mergers in the country.
Even if you're just thinking about restructuring your nonprofit, buy this book!! You will save your nonprofit time, money, and energy, as well as protect your own sanity during the process.

A word from the author.......2001-08-27
I wrote this book because there was no other resource available to nonprofit leaders that provided a thorough, easily understandable road map to negotiating and executing a merger. As both an executive and a consultant I have been involved with more than 60 nonprofit mergers and have learned what works and what does not in these difficult, emotional undertakings. This workbook provides all the tools you need: decision trees, worksheets, and special tips, to make your merger work. Check it out!
