Here is a quote by L.A. studio guitarist extraordinaire Mitch Holder!
"With the release of his new book, Experiential Contrary Motion, Mitch Chmara delves into a technique formally only presented to arranging and orchestration students. Two voice contrary motion has been used by various players, going back to Tal Farlow and continuing to Bill Frisell, Jonathan Kriesberg and Julian Lage. Mitch has begun his explorations into the unlimited scope of this subject and they will open up new worlds of fingerboard exploration into the future. This book is long overdue and Mitch Chmara has the key to open the door to it."

5 out of 5 starsA concise guitar method with useful resources to expand the scope of skills any guitarist can utilize; mainly in the jazz genre but, certainly applicable in any type of music that allows a performer to unlock some cool secrets to add to any sonic mixture

5 out of 5 starsI bought Mitch’s “Melodic Line Contours in Bop” book and it didn’t take long to get my creative sparks flying. It’s truly a great rut-buster that consists of Mitch’s 28 short bite-sized musical ideas. The very moment you dive into any one of these, you’ll realize that these small fragments contained here open a huge door into your own harmonic bliss! Simple yet devilishly clever, your ears immediately go into new aural territories that you may have not experienced yet. In short, Mitch has found a unique way to hand you a mirror into your own musicality. He gave “ME” back to me in essence. I’m playing such great new things that keep me fresh and inspired! Thanks, Mitch. You’re da bomb….

5 out of 5 starsMr. Chmara is a first class teacher! He explains his concepts thoroughly and in language that is easy to understand. There are exercises to help the student grasp each concept. Then the student is strongly encouraged to expand and incorporate each concept for his or her self. Book was quickly and safely shipped. Each concept is very worthwhile musically and will help any student expand their chordal and soloing vocabulary.........very enriching!!!!!
