Another newbie!

[guitaradelic]

Hello everyone! New member here, an older rock and roller making the transition to jazz guitar. Although I have always loved jazz all the bands I have been in have been the top 40 variety. So I chucked all the band stuff and I am working through the Berklee Guitar Method and working on some numbers from the great American songbook. Wish me luck and be patient with me when I ask the inevitable stupid question! Thanks!

Thanks, Pierre! I will definately check out Aebersold and Ligon. I have also been working on the "Jazz U" program I found at Truefire. Lots of material there. Just hope I live long enough to assimulate it all!
