• In this special version, however, the text has been carefully edited and rewritten to speak specifically to guitarists
• Even non-reading players will benefit, because we've also included TAB and FRAMES for each of the musical examples
• The piano track from the original CD has been replaced by Corey on guitar, and many of the chords and voicings are explained and notated in the book
• The play-a-long/demonstration CD includes special stereo separation, allowing the guitar on each track to be eliminated so that the student can play along with bassist Rufus Reid and drummer Jonathan Higgins
