Thanks DennisD, I will tell you right away.
Leon Whitei sent me a message to contact Alfred Music publishing. If they can't get it for me Leon told me to let him know. Who knows? Very nice of him. He said someone told him about my search.
We'll see and I'll let you know right away. Thanks so much for looking. That's very nice of you.
Wayne, Thanks for all your help.

You would see that it's a common 70s type music book. It was what a lot of us needed when the Jazz/Fusion stuff was happenning. All the caged patterns are hand written.
I remember it was great then. There were better things later. But it was what I needed. I met a guitarist, Joe Ravo back then, he played Broadway and played with Stanley Turrentine. He was awesome. Clssical and Fleminco trained and unreal Jazz Player.
I just had the usual Rock by ear playing ability but wanted to play more. He told me to buy this book and then taught how to practice. To use all my fingers including my pinky and most of all how to pick correctly. It was relearning to play, but after 6-12 months of practice I could do anything I wanted musically. We spent a lot of afternoons one summer playing in his apartment. He changed my Musical life. It's funny how a little direction can really change someone's life. He was a good friend.
Wayne,

"It's funny how a little direction can really change someone's life."
I know what you mean... I have been re-learning the guitar from scratch using the Internet for self-teaching (both free and paid lessons) but it's hard.. Some days I spend 5, 6, 7 hours a day on my guitars... I can see how a little wise direction from an experienced monster cat would go a long way.

Hello, Leon White here (the author). Thanks for the compliments!!
It was out of print for quite a while and a lot of people wanted it I guess.
5 days ago a new version was released with 100 backing tracks, 12 vids and stuff, and the book was re-edited and typeset. Should be easier to read then the old one. I hope I'm not breaking a forum rule, but the book should be cheap now.

I have the book somewhere. I'll have a look through my collection. I lent a lot of books to some girl in Oz and she never returned them (sigh). When will I learn. From memory, this book was a really professional one. Basically, you've made the grade, now do your thing better.....

I re-purchased Mickey Baker's Jazz Guitar books from Amazon. I love them. I accidentally bought two different editions of the same one.

Books are priced on how many copies are available. If there's not many, the price can be high.
They are also priced on how much they are needed regardless of the number out there.... college text books are a fine example.
You should see the price of some of the books I need to get regarding Search & Rescue and training my dog as a cadaver dog.... ouch!!
If you want it or need it... you simply pay the cost and go on with life. If you can get by without it.... keep the money in your pocket and spend it on something else you really want.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
