This guy is amazing!!!

Joe Diorio writes some of the most inovative stuff for guitar. This is another great book in the style of Intervallic Designs (which, despite it's early publication date, still is very inspiring). And the stuff you get at this price..!!

Hal Leonard, 1998

Good jazz book. Disappinted in Amazon shipping.

In general, they've shipped to my military APO address about 60% (if that) of the time - for very basic items. Many ...

Single Line Improvising
Diorio, Joe

Alfred Publishing, 1992

Single Line Improvising consists of complete transcriptions (in notation and tab) of the classic Diorio album Bonita, and the complete album is contained on the included cassette.
