This high-quality Book is spiral bound, designed to lie flat for ease of use.
A second CD includes the same play-along tracks as the first CD, but at slower practice tempos.
The play-along/demonstration CD includes special stereo separation, allowing the Guitar on each track to be eliminated so that the student can play along with bassist Rufus Reid and drummer Jonathan Higgins.
The piano track from the original CD has been replaced by Corey on guitar, and many of the chords and voicings are explained and notated in the book.
Even non-reading players will benefit, because we\'ve also included TAB and frames for each of the musical examples.
In this special version, however, the text has been carefully edited and rewritten to speak specifically to guitarists.
