Humphrey Bogart Book:

For Guitar Players Only: Short Cuts in Technique, Sight Reading and Studio Playing Reviews:
It's not just a method book...
2004-12-12 - The real value in this book is not just in the excercises and excerpts, but in the tips and anecdotes from this studio veteran and respected artist. The anecdotes contain practical advice for aspiring studio players and wonderful stories about Tedesco's experiences with other noted musicians. These are really what makes this book such a gem.

Better, bigger & cheaper alternatives
2004-05-30 - Price and scarcity are not usually useful measures of quality. If considering this title at the kinds of prices people are asking on Amazon you would be better searching for the readily available Howard Roberts three volume Guitar Compendium. The Guitar Compendium represents material honed by Howard Roberts over many early articles and several books. It is comprehensive and well written. For those who want to buy from Amazon, Mick Goodrick's Advancing Guitarist or Mark Levine's Jazz book are worth considering. The publisher of the Levine book is very considerate of the reader by providing it with a spiral binding as the book is very thick, so it lies open on the table making it easy to read.
