Description: 52 Pages

Greg Fishman's latest etude book - now for guitarists! This book features master jazz guitarist Mike Allemana playing twelve bebop style etudes. Also includes Greg Fishman playing each etude on tenor saxophone. This allows the guitarist the choice of playing with Mike (guitar) or Greg (tenor).

Book also features tablature with Mike's own fingerings!

This play-along CD contains both guitar and sax versions of each etude, so you can practice guitar along with tenor saxophone to match the phrasing of the horn! This is the only guitar book on the market with this unique feature! The CD also features rhythm-section-only tracks for soloing on the changes of the etudes, all based on blues, rhythm changes and standards!

"These are great solos and etudes! I'm always telling my guitar students to learn lines and phrasing from horn players, and Greg Fishman's book is perfect for this approach. The book is nicely done and very well laid out." - Corey Christiansen

Greg Fishman's book, Jazz Guitar Etudes, contains idiomatic bebop lines and will be a great tool for any guitar teacher with aspiring jazz guitarists. Thanks, Greg!" - Fred Hamilton, professor of jazz guitar, University of North Texas, Professor of Guitar, Utah State University, Visiting Professor, Indiana University
