Title: Good book but reads more like a manual...
Product review: I was interested in learning chord substitutions for piano, but opted to buy this book which is actually geared for guitarists. I found out that there was plenty of theory for a 68 page book. The introduction is brief, and gets straight down to business. The examples are given in guitar grids and staff notation, so deciphering them wasn't a problem. The chords themselves are given in a lead sheet style. The only caveat is that it reads more like a manual than a well written book, and there are no examples on jazz patterns. So pianists can actually imbibe a lot of theory from this book and it has really helped me for comping.Other than that I think future publications can introduce other aspects of jazz theory to make it more complete for its price.
