"This book excels at detailing how to use chord voicings in a musical way (rather than page after page of chord grids that never address how to connect the chords when actually making music). Starting with simple voice leading illustrations using basic jazz voicings all the way to complex chord construction using both traditional and modern approaches, this book covers a lot of ground. The section on rhythms is great at outlining many possibilities. I also like the fact that Green doesn't bog you down with too much text. Everything is explained concisely and then you start playing. Simply the best book on comping available."
"The content itself is very easy to understand and work with. If, like me, you've been practicing the same sort of stuff for years, the material in here will not only beef up your lines and overall knowledge of the instrument, it'll make you feel like you ran into the phone booth as Clark Kent and came out Superman. After I had a few things down and started trying to improvise with them it was scary how fast I was able to adapt the ideas into my style and how they instatly added a whole world of melodic depth to my playing."
Guitar guru Mick Goodrick: "I really like Andrew Green's new book, Jazz Guitar Technique. The title is deceptively understated. This book is about much more than technique. The first half of the book deals with the technique part of it in a very intelligent way. The second half consists of excellent musical examples. The text is simple and concise. I believe this would be a great addition to any jazz guitarist's library."
ECM recording artist John Abercrombie: "Andrew Green's book addresses points about Jazz improvisation on the guitar or any other instrument for that matter that are totally on the money and invaluable for all musicians."
