Adam is a high level musician. I'm pretty sure this book will have some good insights.

Will it have the recipe for his "fast scale potion"?

I just got it. No audio.

I really like what I have read so far, the principles of how to program techniques, the value in experiencing every aspect of every note, and slowing right down. I haven't started the actual work yet, but will in the next few weeks. I'll let you know how I get on.
