In this book, Tom provides an introduction to the rich history of the jazz guitar lineage.
Jazz is in many ways a foreign language.
While it is important in any language to know how to conjugate your verbs, you also have to practice real examples of what it feels like to use that verb in a meaningful sentence. In this book we have provided that element for the student. The examples will feel very much like scale fingerings, but they sound like music. The ideas that the students learn are intended to be the beginning building blocks for guitarists to begin playing musical ideas, and to incite the development of their own creative ideas.
