Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An absolute must have
Review: I probably own a ton of instructional jazz-guitar books and the difference between any other book and this one, is that here you get up and running directly.

The author has really taken his time to figure out the optimum fingerings for the heads and solos. And to my suprise I hear my self running thru anthropology like a hot knife thru butter.

Belive me I experimented with other fingerings, but I hitherto have found the authors suggestions to be optimized.

Perhaps there are books that goes deeper into the theoretical aspect of Charlie Parkers music, but I personally think it's more fun to learn to play it first and only then analyse it.
Otherwise it's easy to get stuck ( and bored).

I cannot recommend this book enough. It's the best!
I hope and pray that the author will follow up with another one, (why not a book with Dizzy solos the next time?). When it comes I will definetly buy it. Until then, this book provides for plenty of magical moments.

Buy it and have fun.

Klas
