Title: Tells you where to go, no always how to get there.
Product review: This is a great book. You'll need to couple it with a few other resources to really get it. For example, he tells you to learn all the ii-V-I sequences in every key, but doesn't write them out for you. It's so much easier to have them in a practicable form (try JAZZ CHORD HANON). The book gives a basic overview of theory in the first chapter, but you will NEED to study something beforehand, or you will be lost. Also, THE NEW REAL BOOK contains a lot of the songs that are used in this book. Overall, though, the stuff is all in the book. It just takes some digging to understand it all. I hired a piano teacher to help me with it.
