This is the best way to begin learning Jazz guitar (great on your Gibson ES 175, 335 or any jazz guitar) AND to improve your visualization and understanding of the instrument as an advancing guitarist. Wes Montgomery, Joe Pass, Barney Kessel, Herb Ellis, George Benson, Jim Hall and many other guitarists have used these very same concepts to develop their style.

A comprehensive method for playing guitar - learn to improvise and compose solos in the jazz style based on the revolutionary playing of Charlie Christian.
You will learn how to create your own musical phrases in this style. This will lead you into the world of Bebop and modern jazz guitar. This book is not just a collection of solos and analysis, but a way of viewing and mastering the guitar.
If you are looking for yet another collection of scales and modes and the same old pentatonic diagrams, look elsewhere! This book will clarify your view of the fingerboard and help you understand jazz chord progressions. You will learn why Charlie Christian's ideas sound great. Spend your valuable guitar time playing, not just practicing.
Here are some emails I have received regarding this ebook:
"Joe,
got your book, very good, finally someone who speaks my musical language, it's really good, i don't know the music of Charlie C, or have not even herd of him,( yes that might seem strange), so it will be all fresh to me, when i do. Many thanks again, Ken"
“I bought your book two months ago and just wanted to let you
know that it really has helped me understanding the basics of
swing-/jazzguitar improvisation. Thank you!”
Joe, got it safe & sound. It is very good. You play just enough above
my old rock & roll/ blues self to make it very useful. Quite frankly
what I've heard on the CD & am starting to read in the book is better than
the DVD "How to play like Charlie C." that is out there. I have it too
& am drawn more to your effort. Thanks again. Feel free
to use any part of this email for advertising. Now make it into a DVD!

“Hi Joe
Just to let you know I'm really enjoying your book.
It's what I've been looking for for years.
One thing though, My favorite Charlie Christian number is Breakfast
Feud, now this really is something special.
You don't have the tab for this do you? If not I'll have to come up
with my own, with help from your excellent book.”
“Hello Joe, I have been a musician and a music teacher for many
years (I am 56!) and have studied the works of Charlie Christian
before. Your method revealed a lot of things which never occurred
to me before. Bravo, and keep up the good work”
