Guitar guru Mick Goodrick:
“I really like Andrew Green’s new book, Jazz Guitar Technique. The title is deceptively understated. This book is about much more than technique. The first half of the book deals with the technique part of it in a very intelligent way. The second half consists of excellent musical examples. The text is simple and concise. I believe this would be a great addition to any jazz guitarist’s library.”
ECM recording artist John Abercrombie:
“Andrew Green’s book addresses points about Jazz improvisation on the guitar or any other instrument for that matter that are totally on the money and invaluable for all musicians.” More
