About this ebook
The lines put forth in this reference manual style work will open one up to hearing beyond the diatonic inside track. Each line has its own story and sonic weight. No line is more important than another. Jump in wherever you wish. You will learn that it is possible to play a C major scale against a B power chord (line #169). If you are ready to jump beyond the traditional melodic way of doing things, this book is for you. Jazz Guitar Freedom is just around the corner and at your fingertips.

About the author
Jay Umble has studied and performed jazz for almost 50 years. His early influences were George Benson, Pat Martino (with whom he studied in the early '80s), and later, Pat Metheny and Bill Frisell. Now in his retirement years, he prefers his playing schedule to be on the lighter side, performing mostly in his local region. Jay's repertoire now focuses on his original music with an occasional nod to the jazz standard book. He continues to compose and teach privately and is proud to be a contributing artist to Mel Bay Publications.
