"Faith in people" seems like a dangerous track.

You have "faith" in Jimmy Bruno? How about that
Peabody guy? How about every other "how to be a
star" book on the rack that lists endless pages
of scales and modes?

Not me. I think those "people" you have faith in are
simply playing to the insecurities in the minds of
people that refuse to take responsibility for ownership
of their own abilities.



That's funny. I don't know who they are. Wouldn't you just take a peek inside the book and then not buy or recommend it? You seem to be demeaning a large group of well meaning people because of a couple of bad apples. You'd have to be pretty gulable to buy a "How to be a star book". (I've never seen that one!)

I did have one book that only covered modes and I did think it was pretty worthless. It didn't make me bitter about the music industry though.
