There is much more useful information on this site for learning jazz.
I'd put the Goodrick book away.
Go here on this website: Free Jazz Guitar Lessons | Learn How To Play Jazz Guitar

Also there is a great APP called irealpro..
Which you can play along to about 1300 standards and there are exercises of ii- V-I
Cadences both modulating or Static and you can even reprogram your "own" chords etc.change tempos etc etc.
You can use it on your iphone Android ...or computer ...
You can loop sections of Tunes also- it is the most amazing App - especially for people who can already play the Guitar.

I have some ibuprofen in my house, so I may start work on some of the ideas from that book again at some point...
Might seem woolly, but easy it is not.

How to take measure of this book?
1. I think the book is a good companion to a method book(s), but not a mainline method unto itself.
2. It's valuable to the improvising and/or composing guitarist in particular.
3. It challenges you to learn the fretboard by forcing you to stand back and look at the instrument differently. In particular, the single string "unitar" thing forces you to visualize and play without relying on the typical fingering patterns and position playing. That will give you a headache.
4. It forces you to think out of the box (pun fully intended).

Filippo,
As David mentioned, always keep this book around - it's a lifetime of study!
Another book I recommend is from one of Mick's partners, Hal Crook; find his "Ready, Aim, Improvise!" and enjoy!
