    • I'm a Guitar Player
This is some of the very best instructional material I've come across. The etudes are relatively difficult but very cool and each has a different flavor. As if that weren't enough each etude has a different lesson to teach. After the 14 performances then you have 14 tracks minus Mintzer's excellent improvisations which is totally above and beyond the call. The first one 'I Start With The Blues' is a very tight improvisational composition at a brisk tempo. There are echoes of Coltrane and Charlie Parker here as well as more modern sounding 4th shapes in the head. To learn this on guitar was actually harder than 'Cliffs of Dover' was for me and took alot of work. Guitar players the caliber of Scott Henderson have admitted to being more influenced by sax players than by other guitarists and here you can see why. There is no tablature but if there ever was a reason to learn how to read notation, this is it! If you are a guitar player, make sure you get the C version, not the Bflat or Eflat versions. ... show more

    • Great etudes
Format: Paperback
Great etudes. I am not a professional and I find these quite difficult. The accompanying CD helps -- you can (try) to play along with Bob Mintzer. Or you can load a track into Audacity and slow it down and then play along. I've recently been focusing on one etude in particular (#6) and have found a number of mistakes in the written music (B naturals instead of B flat, which is what Bob Mintzer plays, so I have to assume that the note should have been B flat). ... show more

    • For the advanced player
Format: Paperback
Very challenging etudes for a middling player like myself. But challenges are good.

My professional musician husband (trombone and string bass) says it is world class playing and writing. He ordered one for our saxaphonist son.

    • not so easy
Format: Paperback
I bought this book when I read that it was suitable for moderate readers. My cousin who has played with alot of big names (Maynard Ferguson, Dave Brubeck, to name a few plus the contractor for several casinos) laughed and said that his guy is head of music department at UCLA or somewhere like that and a modeate reader to him is some kid who already plays his ass off. Don't be fooled it is a tough go if you are a guy that is sitll working on his or her chops. I would stay away if you aren't already a pretty complete reader. ... show more

    • Did not include a CD as advertised
Format: Paperback
I ordered this because it said that it came with a CD. When it arrived, it had no CD but had an audio download. I realize that this is the trend now, and that CDs are becoming obsolete, but I wanted one with a CD. I would not have purchased it without the CD, I would rather have searched for a use done with a CD. Some of us still want the CDs! If it doesn't have it, done say it does. I use the course away from my computer, and I don't feel like downloading it and having to burn my own CD. ... show more
