Who it's for
- Jazz guitarists building foundational swing and blues vocabulary
- Private instructors seeking structured method materials for intermediate students
- Self-taught players wanting to learn Ellis's comping and soloing approach
What's inside
- Guitar method books with online audio and CD accompaniment tracks
- Video instruction featuring Herb Ellis demonstrating swing jazz soloing and comping

Things to consider
Start with Swing Blues or Rhythm Shapes if you're new to the method series; both include audio tracks so you can hear the concepts in context. If you learn better by watching hands on the neck, the DVD material is worth pairing with the books. The online audio formats let you practice at your own tempo, which matters when working through jazz phrasing and comping patterns.
