This anthology is superb for teaching advanced jazz guitar. The detailed note-for-note transcriptions in both standard notation and tab, typical of Hal Leonard's quality, offer clear insight into McLaughlin's complex phrasing and rhythmic ideas. While certainly challenging, the comprehensive layout makes it an invaluable tool for students ready to dive deep into fusion techniques and reading. Highly recommended for serious study!

As an adult learner, I've always wanted to tackle John McLaughlin's work, and this anthology is fantastic. While definitely not for beginners, the note-for-note tab alongside standard notation makes his complex solos achievable with dedication. It's incredibly satisfying to finally play those iconic lines from 'Birds of Fire' or 'Meeting of the Spirits.' Pure enjoyment for dedicated practice to sound like the record!
