Title: Brilliant
Review: I've been using this book for nearly 3 years now, and it has given me the fundamentals necessary to play what I want to "say". As a former sax player, I needed a book which could help me transfer my prior musical knowledge to the guitar and this was the only resource I found that truly bridged that gap by sharing the mechanics necessary to visualize making music on this instrument properly, and did so through the standard notation that I already knew all too well.The only thing I wish this had was a CD reference like his other two books have. I have a very hard time reading rhythm well and prefer to internalize that by hearing an example. Of course that doesn't take anything away from this book, which is absolutely epic.To those who can't get into this jazz book because it is in standard, all I can say is this: Just like "there is no crying in baseball", there is no tab in jazz.
