5.0 out of 5 stars Very nice collection - fills a void, June 10, 2006
By Charles A. Cooper (Jacksonville, Florida USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a very nice collection of advanced solo pieces for jazz guitar. The selection is very solid, and the arrangments are really top notch. Jamie clearly put a lot of effort into this project and the outcome is apparant. There is virtually no pedagogy here - just the raw arrangments and a well recorded CD of jamie playing each tune at a performance level at normal speed. The CD alone is worth the cost of the package just as a listening CD. But be warned: although the arrangments are clean and sensibly voiced, the pieces are complex and will take considerable effort to master - but they are well worth it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very sweet indeed!, January 12, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
For all you guitar players who are Miles Davis fans (who isn't?), this is a gold mine. Be forewarned: these arrangements encompass some fairly advanced technique. The arrangements are well done and true to the spirit of the original Miles pieces themselves (IMHO). Both music notation and TAB are provided, with chord names as well. The best part of this book is the CD that comes with it. Jamie Findley plays each track in real time and the recordings are clear and well executed. Songs are in the same order as they are presented in the book. The amount of effort that Mr. Lindley put into this is apparent and definitely paid off. This work succeeds on several levels: as a guitar technique learning tool, as a Miles learning tool and as a theory tool. Exceptionally well done. Buy it and you will not regret it. Maybe someday Mr. Lindley will do Coltrane's "Love Supreme"??

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for any jazz (Miles Davis) fan, June 20, 2007
Great book but not for a beginner. This product and I would say most jazz books should be for only for an experienced guitar player unless you really have the desire to sit down and spend alot of time learning the songs. The companion CD is great and I actually listen to it on it's own.
