Still, if you don't know any of the concepts and aren't even sure where you want to go from here, it might be a good place to get your feet wet. Hilton either needed to be even broader (covering more beyond blues and comping) or he needed to dive deeper (give more incite into blues and comping). I know enough to sometimes miss when something is harder for someone and may be of more pedagogical value.īut I do tend to look at things with a pedagogical eye and I love looking at all kinds of books this way and I sort of feel like other people have done it better depending on what your goals are. I have to admit, it's hard for me to judge entirely because I have the problem I'm always complaining about in more advanced players. I don't think HTRPtP is the worst place to jump in and get a survey of concepts that a lot of people don't get from formal classical lessons, but while there are some specific examples that you could turn into exercises, I think a lot of people might feel vaguely directionless at the end. There are also appendices that I don't feel are particularly useful (things like written out chords in every key in every inversion). There is a fourth chapter that mostly just discusses other places to go and concepts to consider. The second chapter (of HTRPtP) jumps into 12 bar blues. He starts out explaining a lot of concepts pretty well (reading and understanding jazz symbols being the major one). I think they are well put together, it's difficult to cover the amount of material that he wants to cover without using a very large brush on a very small canvas.
