Hi! I believe you can purchase it . First of all confirm that it's in stock.Send him an email again before paying through Paypal. In my case Jack delayed a bit to answer me too (I think he's quite busy in business matters outside music and this book), but finally I got the book. Hope this helps.

Now let me so bold as to ask the usual question in this matter then. This book is basically an excellent practice routine for developing the right and left hand techniques. Now, if you practice this kind of material, and you practice ear training for example which is indeed necessary to practice, and then you also practice learning tunes (which is also most important), and then you practice vocabulary/transcription (which is the most importand and essential to practice) and then you practice this and that and many things in the universe, how can you not go INSANE??

Well... a certain amount of insanity is inevitable but I double up on jazz and classical so I've gotten pretty good about consolidating. First thing is SING EVERYTHING. If you pick up your guitar, sing along with everything you play. Great for your ear and also makes you slow down when you're playing which is great for technique. Transcription is the best form of ear-training out there. College ear training courses rely heavily on melodic and harmonic dictation which is like decaf transcription. When you learn tunes practice your patterns over them and sing everything you play. That'll help with memorization and with locking your ear into the way the chords change. My goal when I practice is to make everything I touch into ear-training practice. It works too. I got straight As in my college ear-training classes. Also Jack's book is great about working your technique out on patterns that are usable. Modify some of his exercises to fit what you're working on. That way it can be vocabulary/ or pattern practice but still adhere to Jack's technique that you're working on.

There is tons of stuff to work on in the SOS book. I know I'll be working out of it for years to come.

I approach the book by finding etudes/examples that interest me and practice those. I can spend weeks on just one example.

To me, it's part of a life long study so no reason to bite off more than one can chew!

I got mine the other day. I am a very busy guy. Jack's examples are superb. His playing is excellent as well. But more than that it is the ideas represented. What a plethora of knowledge. So many things to practice, only 24 hrs in a day!
