Goodrick's thoughts about the LCC
Posted: Tue May 03, 2011 1:41 pm
Mick Goodrick's Advancing Guitarist book contains some sane reflections on the LCC. Mick and George were friends and colleagues.
Here is a quote from page 62(the underlining is mine):
"I personally think that the most valuable aspect of the L.C.C. has to do with the way the author "looked at the overview." [u]The way that he chose to [/u][u]organize it was one of several possibilities.[/u] But the fact that someone could look this way is quite valuable, I think. There are examples of L.C.C. thinking that I've found very useful. You'll find some of them in this present volume. Again, I must add that my own feeling is any system has certain "traps' built into it by virtue of being a "system." On the other hand, to diregard the benifits and valuable aspects of someone's work just because it's a system would be silly. So, my advice would be to check it out if you're interested, and takes from it what makes sense to you."
