재즈를 연주하고 즐기기 위해서 꼭 박사학위가 필요한 것은 아닙니다.
뛰어난 연주자이자 교육자인 Jody Fisher가 쓴 이 교본에는 재즈의 개념과 테크닉 및 이론 등을 어떻게 리듬과 리드 기타 플레이에 적용하는지에 관한 내용들이 쉽게 설명되어 있습니다.
책과 DVD가 한 세트로 구성되어 시청각 교육자료로 매우 유용하게 사용할 수 있는 교본입니다.
교본에는 레슨 A가 반주 연주, 레슨 B가 솔로 연주로 나뉘어 수록되어 있어서 반주와 솔로를 분리해서 집중적으로 공부할 수 있게 구성되어 있습니다.
타브악보로 표기되어 있으며 교본은 96페이지, DVD는 1시간 10분 분량입니다.
