Bruce Arnoldâs music has been warmly received by the press: Jazziz Magazine wrote âFinding an original spin in a world full of compositional cliches is no easy task, but guitarist Bruce Arnold takes an impressive shot on "Blue Eleven" his debut recording as a leader.â On âA Few Dozenâ the sound was New York downtown cool, with a banked, dry ice burn. Of this CD, the Los Angles Times said, "Arnold's music never loses its contact with jazz and he deserves credit for his effort to expand the potential of the jazz palette." On his most recent CD, "Give 'Em Some" Arnold lets loose with hard-hitting rock riffs, prompting the All Music Guide to write â(This CD) demonstrates something Schoenberg and his followers couldnât have foreseen: that serialism has applications beyond the concert hall and may even be of use to a guitar power trio."
In this book Bruce Arnold takes this highly complex subject, and in simple, clear language explains the methods used in his compositions.

About the Author
Whether he is working in a jazz or classical setting, Bruce?s playing is structurally brilliant, yet full of edgy fire-bursts and emotional risk-taking. He is also the first guitarist to take full advantage of Supercollider, an object-oriented computer software program developed for digital sound processing. Bruce uses it in the studio but more usually, employs this technological breakthrough as a proactive part of his on-stage arsenal.
Bruce Arnold?s albums have received rapturous notices. On "A Few Dozen" the sound was New York downtown cool, with a banked, dry ice burn. Among many other rapturous reviews, the Los Angles Times said, "Arnold's music never loses its contact with jazz and he deserves credit for his effort to expand the potential of the jazz palette." His new release, "Give 'em Some," further expands these possibilities but from a more rocked out, visceral platform, drawing comparisons to Jeff Beck, John McLaughlin, and Joe Satriani.
Other than his work with the Trio, Bruce has performed with Spooky Actions, The Absolute Ensemble under the baton of Kristjan Järvi, Gary Burton, Joe Pass, Joe Lovano, Randy Brecker, Peter Erskine, Stuart Hamm, and the Boston Symphony Orchestra.
As an educator, Bruce Arnold teaches at Princeton University, the New School, New York University, and maintains an extensive private instruction practice. He is the author of 42 books on music education, many of which are best-sellers at Amazon.com.
