“I had the pleasure of meeting and playing with Jim Kelly way back in the '70s when I was a student at Berklee. And now, all these years later, here we both are, still at it. I feel so lucky. This is a great book. Spending time with it can broaden understanding, solve problems, open doors, and take us further down the road to finding out our own voice. These are not just 'exercises' but music, presented clearly and in great detail. Each of these pieces reflects Jim's lifetime of experience and love of music. There is much to learn here.” – Bill Frisell
“One of the best ways to improve your playing is to study and emulate the techniques of great players. Jim's book and videos do a great job of demonstrating some of these techniques in a way that will help any guitarist become a better player and improviser.” – Gary Burton
“Jim Kelly's a great player! This book has great tunes, for any level. Check it out, you'll dig it!” – Mike Stern
