Just fix the mistakes!! *by C***O on April 10, 2015* I love this book. It was one of my first ones for deeper studying into jazz guitar. Sid lays the ground work for how to take the mystery out of improv. It truly helped me along for hand position shifting and connecting arpeggios which are so critical in jazz standards and changes. And he clearly states that we must learn these lines and phrases in various positions. As with any tablature, TABS are always subjective, but the standard notation is correct most of the time. Sometimes the jumps and stretches don't make sense given the passage. I found myself making quite a few adjustments and fixing errors that I think any of these educational books shouldnt have with the proper editing team. But part of my learning process with this book made me stronger at noticing these mistakes and what to do when they arise. I just wish the editing team would spend more time on this stuff ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Comprehensively Useful *by I***E on October 31, 2018* What a great method for serious jazz guitarists and jazz instrumentalists! This book is simply divided into two parts, 'usual things part' and 'unusual things part'.Usual part is dealing with lines of 2, 5-1, 1 and 2-5-1, those who are very famous in jazz. The most important logic in this part are 'idioms' and 'connecting'. You are able to know how Sid Jacob make a small idiom and connect each other to make a beautiful sentences. That is most important thing.Unusual part is dealing with many charming things, fourth harmony and pentatonics and augmented scale etc. Those are gonna be understood by someone who is looking for brand new sound, so must read real alphabets and consider how they are going a lot.No pain, no gain. But I can say clealry that this book is really useful. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent book! *by T***N on April 2, 2007* This is a great book, especially for the guitarists who have done their homework on scales-arpeggios and look for a way to start bulding jazz vocabulary with that material. The book grabs you from the start; the introduction section named "The Craft" gives you very practical and musical ways to embellish your typical triads and diatonic scales with chromatic and diatonic passing tones. For the hardworking player, these a few pages provide tons of practical material to be applied to scales and triads and you can start sounding jazzy right away, this part alone is worth the price and that is just the beginning! Beware that this book does not include beginner level information though, so you should know your major and melodic minor scales and basic triads to get the most out of this material. The book continues to present typical bebop language "idioms" on different chord types and they sound very musical. These are not some hot licks invented by the author, they are definitely classical bebop ideas that are in every good jazz musician's arsenal. You will find all your favorite licks in there! Plus, Jacobs provides tablature as well and and his ideas suit very naturally to guitar fingerboard.After the bebop oriented section (it lasts about 50 pages and if you can assimilate all the ideas in there, you are on your well on your way to start improvising in jazz language), Jacobs moves onto more modern sounds, such as applying pentatonic scales and fourths to produce modern and "outside" ideas. The third section adresses symmetrical scales including the augmented, whole-tone and diminished scales. In these sections Jacobs provide theoretical explanation as well (unlike the first section where you are expected to know and understand theory fundamentals, but Jacobs' other books adresses these issues as well, so you might want to check them out) and the fingerings he provides are extremely practical to get you started playing those unusual scales. Finally he addresses polychords at the end of the book. The book definitely delivers what its title promises, so what you see is what you get. If you have been loooking for a guitar oriented book to start playing the jazz language right away, this is what you have been looking for. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/115478607-complete-book-of-jazz-guitar-lines-and-phrases](https://www.desertcart.us/products/115478607-complete-book-of-jazz-guitar-lines-and-phrases) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
