For advanced players who reads standard notation
Ed Friedland is an accomplished player in most styles and this book deals with rather complicated jazz soloing and theory, at least from a rock players point of view. You can learn a great deal from this book, but you need to put your back into it. I would have given the book 5 stars had it not been for the omission of TAB. Standard notation may be fine for educated players, but most of us regular guys read TAB a lot better, and on a fretted instrument TAB eliminates the work of determining the smartest en most ergonomic way to lay out the lines on the fretboard. There are also a few longer solos that are not written out at all. I realize transcribing them would have meant extra work, but as a student you would have had a lot more to work with for a longer period of time. If you have a really good ear you can lift these solos from listening to the CD, but if you don't you will regard this omission as a minus.
