This review is of my book The Secrets of Successful Practising
For Guitarists by well-known guitarist and educator Taura Eruera of Auckland. Here is his review.

Every teacher would be doing themselves a favour by buying a
boxful and giving them out free to their students as a thank you
for their business. And to acknowledge the effort their students
make to succeed under their tutelage.

Kevin's book would be their quiet, unassuming, 24/7 assistant teacher,
adding value to their teaching.

This book will help both the teacher and student lift their game,
enrich their relationship and get more results for the guitar student.

Sheesh! I paid thousands of dollars to learn these secrets at two
overseas music schools!

Kevin's book works because it talks to the student where they
most need it. Not in the comfort of a lesson with a teacher but in
their solitude at the coal face of indecision and doubt that is their
... drum roll .... practise room.

In simple, straight forward, direct, unpretentious, no bs language,
Kevin walks you through ALL stages of practise: from setting up
your work area, making sure your have a life, that you remain
healthy, how to set up a practise schedule, how to remain on
course, what content to practise, when to practise, how not to
practise, how to get a gig, how to sightread and train the ear,
how to talk to other musicians and a wealth of tips that are so
common sensical that they are indeed, secrets!

So you're guitar player who struggled with reading at school?
Welcome to the Secrets of Successful Practising for Guitarists!
Kevin makes this book so easy to read. It's like he's there talking
with you.

If you want a highly organised manual of helpful guitar practise tips,
that you can refer to again and again, put this one in your guitar case.

Kevin writes not just like he knows! He write like he cares.

Kevin's book comes with my highest recommendation. And no!
