More Endorsements: This book is probably the most complete explanation of linear improvisation as applied to the guitar that I have come across. Randy Vincent goes into his subjects, which include a novel take on hexatonic applications, chromatic neighbor tones, and various scale forms and arpeggios, with unprecedented thoroughness. It is also refreshing to see the emphasis on thematic development, and I like how some of the great recorded guitar solos are often used as illustrative examples. I highly recommend it.? ? Ben Monder Randy has come up with another Winner. This is one of the most comprehensive studies I have ever encountered concerning single line improvisation!? ? Vic Juris With all the books on jazz improvisation available I didn't think it was possible to find one that offers a new perspective but Randy Vincent's Line Games does just that. It's a great book! There are many real- world examples of players using the archetypal bebop hexatonic sound and many examples of ways to practice and utilize the sound. In suggesting ways of practicing and using the scale Randy gets you started, but it's up to the reader to strike out on their own ? in my opinion the best way to really grasp a sound or concept. There is a whole lot of material here and I'm looking forward to working with it for a long time. Thanks, Randy!!? ? Bruce Saunders With the plethora jazz guitar books on the market today, one must sort through dozens to find one that yields the results of a tried and true method for learning to play jazz as applied to the guitar. I was pleasantly surprised to find a new book that I feel to have such qualities. This being the jazz guitar book written by Randy Vincent called Line Games for Sher Music Co. Inside, you'll find dozens of examples, explanations, techniques, and the application of the jazz language employed by all the great jazz guitarists we know and love. Great job, Randy!? ?
