I think Jay Umble's book is phenomenal. ÊIt is one of the most in depth treatments on the subject of guitar improvisation I have seen. ÊIn it there are so many places to stop and explore; I know I will be enjoying it for a long time. ÊThanks for this contribution to the resources of guitar literature and for revealing so much that until now has remained largely unexplained.

"Payin' Your Dues With The Blues" sheds some serious light on the endless possibilities that exist within these two worlds (jazz and blues). ÊIt has become my reference book and I highly recommend it to all of my students. ÊIt contains hundreds of great examples. ÊThanks for a great book on my favorite form(s) of music.
