Excellent Resource for Developing Jazz Guitarists
This Les Wise collection is fantastic for students building their jazz vocabulary. With 800+ licks in both standard notation and tablature, it caters to various learning styles. The 'dictionary' format makes it easy to assign specific melodic ideas. While bebop isn't beginner material, the clear presentation and online audio with PLAYBACK+ tools offer strong support for intermediate to advanced students mastering jazz improvisation.

Disappointing
I have been playing Jazz guitar for several years now. Instead of Bebop Licks for Guitar it should be titled Jazz Guitar Licks. The book does not explain anything about Bebop. It is just a collection of licks, and they are all in C. I realize that you can transpose them but why not include some licks in E flat, F, or G? Also, there are no minor 2-5-1s. I already have some books of guitar licks and this one is no better than the others. I suggest you save your money and don't buy this book.
