is this book in standard notation only or does it include tablature?

Thanks, Art

Hi Art, all our eBooks have both standard notation and guitar tabs, just like my lessons on the website.

My only objection is Vol 1 leads me into hours of playing -- it's going to take a while to get to Vol 2. I've completely revised my daily practice routine around Vol 1 & my playing has already improved. And I've been playing for decades.

This fabulous book is like a hidden gem to me: among all the great books I bought over the years from Jazzguitar.be, this has been overlooked by me for quite some time. But now, as I rediscovered it in my collection, I really really enjoy working with it. All material is laid out clearly in front of me and I love the small steps the book presents. This is really great stuff. And the best: Dirk and Matt are extremely supportive and give their best to make us customers happy. Thanks a lot for your work.

Very good material written by a gifted educator. Easy to understand and follow by beginners and self studying individuals. I appreciate the indications for listening too - perhaps a bit too many pictures.

Started with volume one last week. Is very clear, good explanantions but the link to the short tutorial about the chord notation in Jazz on page 10 is not working, that's a pity.... I will recommend this course to others

After I worked through "Jazz Guitar Chords" which I really appreciate, I have begun to work with "Jazz Blues Guitar 1", another book which gives me a lot of input to improve my technique. I also love your free available contributions like “Essential Jazz Chord Exercises”. Thank you very much!

Like all of the other books I have purchased from you, Jazz Blues Guitar is an incredibly thorough book that is guaranteed to improve any player at any level. From chord choices to licks to chord melody ideas, this book will provide years of important study for anyone. I recommend it very highly.

Excellent straight forward explanations. Useful licks in basic scales to show how to capitilize on applying for instance blues scale but over jazz progression .

A really clear and useful explanation from the best jazz guitar teacher on the web! Buy it if you want to add some jazz into your blues or, as well, start studying jazz from his early steps...

Comprehensive books with everything you need to start up your jazz playing and refrein your blues playing outside the boring boxes . Much more than a beginner course...

Clear and concise, this book is helping to add a jazz flavour to my blues rock orientation. The recorded examples are great and useable. Recommend this one.

The best purchase I have made that is music related. I come from a blues rock background (anything that Clapton played), listened and practiced for years the Delta Blues, the Chicago Blues. But I always found I was stuck in licks and pentatonic patterns, just like the description says. I felt that I needed to express myself with a different sound. This book is exactly what I needed. It't the Jazz approach to Blues, and it will keep you busy for years, if you use it well. It's nicely explained, there are enough audio samples to keep you busy, and I feel that I am slowly improving my improvisation skills. Buy it!! :-)

This is the place to start. I’ve played guitar for a long time, but started in jazz very recently. After dabbling a bit with other courses, I’ve found that this is a fantastic “starter kit”. It has given me the essential skills to survive in my first jazz jams. I am now heading on (chords, arpeggios……), but this is the foundation. Highly, highly recommended.

Libro muy bien estructurado. Todos los recursos presentes:Escalas; Arpegios; Acordes y ritmos en el punto de partida para desarrollar un buen toque blues.

An excellent step to step approach to go through back to the basics then to the sky :). It helped me to structured my mind and play. Well designed for PC screen reading, but maybe just think for the Vol 2 ... to minimize ink usage for people who want to print it. :)

A nice way to approach the Blues, for a straight blues player like me it opened a lot of perspectives

I really enjoyed working through this - lots that was new to me and a great way to start approaching this vast topic. Covers ground different from most other beginner lessons. My only slight gripe - intended to be helpful - is the inclusion of the long scale patterns over the V7b9 chord in the blues improvising - this chord is never held for long enough to play a long pattern, so would be useful to replace with something that fits in the space available!

Thanks!
