"Steve Briody's "Jazz Guitar Lines of the Greats" is a great reference book for any instrument - a lot of these lines lay quite well on the trumpet and are a great way to expand one's jazz vocabulary!" - Randy Brecker

"Nicely put together book written by Steve Briody that features 5 great jazz guitar masters. Wes Montgomery, Pat Martino, Jimmy Raney, Tal Farlow and Joe Pass…all heroes of mine. I particularly like Steve's opening comments about "Why Imitate?". Every musician went through that learning process before finding their own voice. The book consists of mostly "Jazz Lines" by the 5 featured guitarists and how each one played 2/5 patterns, dominant 7th's and other important harmonic structures. Very worthy book." - Jack WIlkins
