Jim Kelly's Guitar Workshop

Jim Kelly's Guitar Workshop is an exciting book/CD pack to help guitarists improve their playing in jazz, blues, Latin and R&B styles. The ten original compositions Jim has written especially for this book are designed to help guitarists learn how to play in the style of Kenny Burrell, Mike Stern, Pat Metheny, Joe Pass, Stevie Ray Vaughan and other guitar greats. The songbook features these helpful songs and studies in standard notation with tablature and fingerings. The accompanying CD includes 8 full-band backing tracks (featuring alto sax, acoustic and electric guitars, bass and drums), 11 play-along tracks (with the guitar parts removed), and 2 solo tracks (featuring Jim on electric and acoustic guitar). The full-band and play-along tracks will help players phrase their own solos by incorporating the techniques of master guitar players, as Jim demonstrates on his solos.
