Synopsis

Hip Licks for Guitar (with Tab) by Greg Fishman is designed to help guitarists develop fluency in the jazz language by providing mainstream jazz vocabulary (swing/bop/post-bop). The licks were originally conceived for saxophone, giving them a fresh, unique quality on the guitar. A special feature is that each lick is unique; the C7 lick is completely different from the B7 lick etc. Some lick books give you one lick in 12 keys, or one lick in 12 keys. This book gives you a unique lick for each chord and each key. 168 unique licks included. 4 CDs included: Guitarist Mike Allemana playing licks at fast and slow tempo. Also included, Saxophonist Greg Fishman playing the licks at slow and fast tempo. Play along with Fishman or Allemana. A fantastic resource! Think of Hip Licks for Guitar as a musical reference book, like a dictionary of great licks in all twelve keys, available when you need it. You can open the book to any page and just start playing.
