This book features twelve original compositions especially written to develop improvisational as well as comping skills with an emphasis on rhythm. Each piece deals with a specific rhythmical task: offbeats; repeating motifs; syncopation; swing/latin hybrids; bebop; polyrhythms; 4/4 - 3/4 hybrids; 6/8; odd-metre (5/4 - 7/4) and is presented in order of increasing complexity.<br>The audio CD included features a superb rhythm section (Henning Sieverts on contrabass and Mario Gonzi on drums) as well as author Peter O'Mara, who demonstrates each theme and comping. The student can "play-along" to the original guitar tracks or just jam to bass and drums if he chooses.<br>Another bonus are the midifiles, which can be incorporated into computer sequencer software for more variation.<br>An essential book for the developing jazz guitarist!
