Book Reviews of 101 Must-Know Jazz Licks: A Quick, Easy Reference for All Guitarists

Book Review: Good learning here
Summary: 4 Stars

Wolf presents a good selection of jazz licks here which will do you good if you practice them and try to incorporate them into your solos. Just trying to play the licks at the speed Wolf does will help your chops considerably, but it is not necessary to get up to his scary tempos--not all the licks are fast. His speed is actually somewhat ridiculous, given that I've looked at books by many of the greats, and they rarely play things as fast and difficult as Wolf presents them here. But again, it's a good challenge.

The biggest problem with the book is that the accompanying cd does not use a metronome behind the guitar, which makes it difficult to imagine how they would sound in the context of a rythym section. And considering that many of the licks are not straight 8ths or 16ths, the rythym makes no sense. Overall a good buy, and you should get a lot of use out of this one.
