Ted Greenersquo;s Jazz Guitar Single Note Soloing method is one of the most respected approaches to playing jazz guitar ever written. Continuing where Volume 1 left off; this book ties all the tools together; with special emphasis on playing through chord changes and developing rich melody lines.

RichardsonAs others have noted; this book contains three separate elements- recollections of the band members and other participants who helped make "Bee Thousand"; short pieces by fans detailing the way the album resonated in their lives; and ponderous; pseudo-intellectual blathering by individuals completely unconnected to GBV; "Bee Thousand"; or music in general.The first (especially those from Bob Pollard) make the book worthwhile. The second are easily enough skimmed; but the third are infuriating- they dont offer any insight to "Bee Thousand" that actually listening to the album once or twice wouldnt provide. The space they take up would have been much better used by expanding on the commentary of Pollard; Tobin Sprout; Robert Griffin and others who could actually elaborate on the unique experience that is "Bee Thousand."Id have given this book 2 1/2 stars; but that wasnt an option.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. A great little book about a great little albumBy William C SummersOne of my desert island must haves is the Bee Thousand album and this book is a nice companion piece to go with the recording. I consider Bee Thousand to be one of the greatest post-Beatles rock and roll albums of all time. I think about this record a lot and wondered if it affected others as much as it affected me. And apparently it has. So its nice to have this Bee Thousand inspired piece of work around to assure me that although I live in a place where most people have horrid tastes; Im not alone in considering B1000 to be a masterpiece of poetry and music.8 of 9 people found the following review helpful. Half Excellence for the Hardcore FansBy Arod McFoolishThis book is a mixture of a) the insightful and interesting reflections of those who created and assisted with Bee Thousand; b) well-written and relatable musings from hardcore fans about how they discovered the album and what it means to them; and c) the bloated; pretentious verse of what manifests in my head as Cheers Diane Chambers rattling off Greil Marc-esque collegiate diatribes about a soulful beer-drinking anthemic record.For the big fans; the book is fully worth it for points a (especially) b. My recommendation is to skip the entirety of c.
