Keep practicing the chord inversions starting with the F7 up and down - this has been the most rewarding experience over time especially on the high 4 strings. I didn't like the scales section as it's not how I learn best (prefer to learn real solos/phrases) but the chords seem to be easier since they are easy to visualize. It's painful at first to switch (like a beginner guitarist has with open chords) but gets easier. I like to visualize each chord in my mind when I'm not playing guitar as well which helps.

PS for a great practical application I would get the essential jazz guitar vol1 (high strings) for starters - lots of great chord combos to use for comping. I had the pleasure to meet Oliver Gannon at Beatniq in Calgary and he's a very fine player and gentleman!
