Intermediate Jazz Guitar (Book & CD) (Complete Jazz Guitar Method) 2 reviews Jody Fisher
Alfred Publishing Company, 1995
quality and well thought throughout
+ The 2nd of a series of 4 books
I feel that this series is most worthwhile for any student on his own or one being guided by a teacher. I jumped right into the first of the series and am enjoying the method and the results. The Intermediate book and CD appears to simply enhance the Beginning Jazz Guitar book and move on to ...

All of them owe some compositional debt to traditional blues, but the influence is sometimes very, very ...

The 21st Century Pro Method 1 review Doug Munro
Alfred Publishing, 2005
Brilliant
Doug Munro has done it again. If you think pentatonics are boring then this book should change that. This is an excellent finish to the series and after the complex stuff in his previous two books this is a nice way to finish the series. But that doesn't mean it's easy - there's plenty of ultra ...

More Advanced Than "Blues You Can Use"
+ More Blues than you can use. + Worthy Companion to "Blues You Can Use"
This book picks up where "Blues you can use" left off. The lessons and exercises are significantly more advanced and produce a much more professional grade blues vibe in my opinion. Check out how the beginner book "blues you can use" has a lot more reviews than this one since not as many people ...
