When you learned to speak, you weren't handed a dictionary and a grammar
textbook were you?
You learnt your language by copying the words of your parents -
gradually discovering their context and applying them on your own.

is all about copying the right sounds.
So, it's time to throw away the complex theory books and master the
actual guitar licks played by a jazz virtuoso.
Just like any good phrase book, Martin Taylor's Jazz Guitar Licks
are carefully organised into vocabulary that fits the most common jazz
soloing situations - from the shifting major and minor ii V's of Autumn
Leaves, to the cycling dominants and turnarounds of Rhythm Changes.
Along with static Dorian licks to tackle vamps like So What and
Impressions you'll learn the perfect guitar licks for these essential
jazz sequences:
- Major ii V I progression
- Minor ii V I progression
- The I vi ii V (Rhythm Changes) sequence
- Dominant chords moving in fifths
