Intermediate players may want to find a chapter thatlooks challenging and start at that point. By the end of this book you will be able to take any lead sheet and turn it into a guitar arrangement.

Gordon and Jo De Sa consists of as the title suggests 100 Jazz riffs based on chord progressions used in jazz such as the II-V-I II-VI-II-V etc. Most jazz as well as pop standards such as Misty Satin Doll Blue Moon This Masquerade and Europa use these types of chord progressions. There are five separate sections: Jazz Swing Jazz Ballad Jazz Funk Jazz Waltz and Latin Jazz. At the end of the book there is the chord progression for the popular jazz standard Blue Moon showing you how to use various examples from over 100 riffs to create an improvised solo over the chordprogression.

All of the examples are recorded with the guitar playing with the rhythm section at the normal tempo followed by just the rhythm section playing the normal tempo so that the soloist can practice along.
