"Jay Umble has created a book that should be of great interest to guitarists, teachers, students and all musicians regardless of their instruments or level of accomplishment. Books like this one are beginning to appear that not only reflect a solid theoretical base, but also demonstrate the principles with very musical sounding examples. EVERYTHING in this book sounds great and everything is PLAYABLE! Thanks for documenting your ideas for all of us who love the guitar.

"In this study, Mr. Umble has provided developing guitarist with a progressive approach to understanding the jazz/blues idiom. This practical/theoretical, step-by-step method explores various constructive elements that characterize the great blues-based improvisations of jazz masters such as Wes Montgomery, John Coltrane, Charlie Parker, etc. Harmonic, rhythmic and melodic improvisational concepts are examined in a most detailed fashion with measure-by-measure analysis of the different soloing and comping possibilities available to the guitarist. Both traditional and modern harmonic-melodic approaches (side-slipping, substitutions, slash chords, etc.) are discussed with great clarity throughout the text. This is clearly an honest and conscientious study that is also an indispensable reference tool in every jazz musician's library. Great job Jay!
