This book is designed to teach the guitarist the technique of "chord soloing." This technique is extremely valuable to all guitarists because chords and melodies are played together; there is no need for an accompanying instrument. Each chapter focuses on a different aspect of chord soloing. I would recommend that novice guitarists start at the beginning and work through the book slowly. Intermediate players may want to find a chapter that looks challenging and start at that point. By the end of this book, you will be able to take any lead sheet and turn it into a guitar arrangement. Enjoy the journey into the fascinating world of chord soloing.
