Bucky Pizzarelli is one of the greats of jazz guitar. Any knowledge he can put out is worth listening to. This book, however, has a lot of good stuff in it. Reducing chords to three notes or strings always leaves one finger open for lead work, and you still have the overall sound of the song. Perhaps this is not solo guitar stuff but it can definitely add to a guitarists' sound in a group setting. The tunes are more like exercises, showing the player how to use the three and four string chords, but they are fun to play and challenging, too. I highly recommend this book/CD to anyone who wants to learn more about how to put forth a creative jazz guitar solo.
