Dave explains his approach to jazz improvisation with musical examples that he himself uses, learned from years of playing with the greats - after learning how to play jazz from listening to players such as Grant Green, Wes Montgomery and Pat Martino. Explains the minor sub approach using minor scales to play over dominant seventh chords, and then includes several solos over often-played jazz standards, using this approach. Also described are the use of the blues and pentatonic scales as well as be-bop ideas, the melodic minor scale, and whole-tone and diminished scales and patterns. Hanon-type warm up exercises and Dave's own fingerings shown in tab are also described. Perfect for intermediate-to-more advanced players, Dave's concise way of explaining his approach will open up the students to developing their own improvisational ideas. Dave plays the examples and solos on the companion CD including tracks with a rhythm only section for student play-along. This is the first modern publication of Chopin’s Eight Mazurkas.

Through the centuries, South American music has developed from a combination of influences of many different cultures. Much of the traditional music has developed outside the cities, being passed from generation to generation by ear, and rarely found in written form. This collection of intermediate to advanced fingerstyle guitar interpretations reflect the author's adaptations of this traditional music from Argentina, Ecuador, and Paraguay, in a style, which he describes as 'a crossover between classic and flamenco.' The solos are uniquely folkloric and employ techniques developed in the interior regions of Argentina and Ecuador, which are explained in the text. The pieces use standard tuning with a few exceptions. The accompanying CD presents performances of all of the pieces by the author. 'Arpeggios' allows you to find any arpeggio quickly and ease.

It is the ideal book for beginners seeking a well-organised, easy-to-follow guide and consummate professionals who need a reference of arpeggios for every possible musical situation.
