Great book and CD, 2006-06-06
Having been through several jazz instruction books, this is by far the best. It runs its solo lines over complex chords- the kind you hear the better players actually playing over. It explains the concept behind the lines before giving them. This way, not only will the lines stick better, but you will have the background material to build your own lines. It is not a beginner book, but even a beginner could follow the well laid-out diagrams; it may just take him a while to get up to speed. Highly recommended if you desire to play in the styles of the artists mentioned. Great jazz guitar instruction book.

Good Licks, 2006-05-16
This book can help any intermediate level guitarist and it's very similar to the Brian Setzer learn a lick book available here. They're good values but I deduct a star for method. You are presented with the lick at full speed with a backing track and then played at a very slow speed without anything. Then you are given the backing track to play with at full speed. The way to properly learn these licks is to practice them slowly with a metronome and gradually increase the tempo until you can play them at proper tempo. Only then should you attempt to play them with the backing track. The author does not suggest this or even give the tempo. You have to figure it out for yourself. Also there is significant space used in explaining how the licks should be fingered. That could easily have been notated, freeing up space for more licks or rhythms. There are 39 pages in the book I got so that 16 page thing here is most likely a mistake. At 13 bucks, I thought it was a good value. The licks are pretty good and they'll get your fingers flying !
