The non-jazz improvisation series is a concept that germinated in Dick Weissmans mind while he was attending music school. He wrote a 15-piece arrangement of the old square dance tune, Cripple Creek, and wanted the trombone to take a solo as part of the arrangement. When the trombonist kept playing a bebop solo that was totally unsuitable for the chart, Dick realized that - in addition to the many musicians who do not improvise - there are even jazz musicians who dont know how to improvise outside the limits of their own stylistic backgrounds. Fingerstyle and flatpicking techniques demonstrate the use of the guitar as an incredibly versatile instrument that holds its own in a variety of musical genres. Various guitar tunings are included. All examples are written out in traditional and tablature notation.

A very useful book
This book doesn't seem to be about jazz, but I'm sure it will be useful for jazz musicians as well. The author very methodically and clearly explains the approaches to improvisation in different styles of music. This is certainly useful, as the existing vocabulary expands, and therefore the possibilities of creative improvisation. The book is useful and necessary.
