Review: Nice but more for intermediate level - Great selection of jazz standards. Like other reviews mentioned, this is not for a beginner at all. While this isn’t advanced, it’s more intermediate level and since it’s jazz, the chords take time to form and learn compared to your basic chords, so it takes a bit more effort and patience to play through these songs. They’re arranged beautifully, just take your time and go slow, don’t expect to sight read fast it like other tab books.
Review: For beginning JAZZ players, not beginning guitar players - This is a very nice collection of jazz standards, intended for the beginning jazz guitarist. And there's the issue. Read the title carefully. It's for the beginning JAZZ guitarist. It is not at all for the beginning guitarist, who will take one look at the altered chord symbols and panic. The point is that you don't begin real jazz study until you've been playing for a little while and are comfortable with notation and are ready to tackle a wide variety of chord forms. This book is great if you've been studying jazz for a couple of months, and guitar in general for maybe a year or perhaps two. You need to be okay with playing out of first position, okay with "unusual" chords, and reasonably adept at counting rhythms. So, then, is this a bad book? Not at all. The arrangements are nice (in chord melody style) and nicely laid out. There are tabs to help you with fingering (but you really need to read the notes) and positioning. I like the book a lot. Four stars seems about right as the book is too unclear about the level of skill needed.

*by F***Y on November 24, 2018*

These are great arrangements of classic jazz standards for solo guitar. Get these under your fingers and preform them at any gig to show your audience a different side of your talent..all the songs are complete with lyrics...almost all the songs are on two pages making it easy to put it on a music stand and have the whole arrangement mapped out in front of you (no page turning)...the songs come with standard music notation, guitar tab & guitar chord boxes above the lyrics...IMHO these are not for absolute beginners...you should be able to play major & minor bar chords, major7 chords, lead lines & be able to play out of 1st position...this is a wonderful set of easily recognizable standards for the Blues/Rock/Acoustic player looking to expand his or her repertoire...wish there were more books like this in print...
