Ce recueil est une approche de la technique guitaristique du Finger Picking. Il propose l'étude de dix morceaux instrumentaux, écrits dans des genres musicaux variés : blues, ragtime, bluegrass, ballade, country-waltz... Ces dix morceaux sont extraits de deux CD Country Picking in Nashville - Vol.1 et Vol.2, tous deux enregistrés avec les plus grands musiciens de Nashville. Pour chaque titre, ce recueil propose la partition et la tablature ainsi qu'une analyse détaillée du morceau avec exemples commentés et exercices progressifs sur les différentes techniques du Finger Picking : basses alternées, basses étouffées, pulling-off, hammering-on, doigt en pivot, slide, blocking, harmoniques, roll... Le CD contient d'abord les dix morceaux enregistrés (index 1 à 10), puis les exercices correspondants à chaque titre (index 11 à 26). Chaque exercice est proposé trois fois au ralenti, puis trois fois à vitesse réelle. Ainsi le guitariste peut s'entraîner progressivement à l'exécution des différentes techniques et des passages délicats avant d'entamer l'étude du morceau. Dans le recueil, les exercices enregistrés sont notés avec un numéro d'index dans un petit rond permettant de repérer facilement la plage correspondante sur le CD.

100 Ultimate Jazz Riffs for Guitar by Andrew D. Gordon and Jo De Sa consists of as the title suggests 100 Jazz riffs based on chord progressions used in jazz such as the II-V-I II-VI-II-V etc. Most jazz as well as pop standards such as Misty Satin Doll Blue Moon This Masquerade and Europa use these types of chord progressions. There are five separate sections: Jazz Swing Jazz Ballad Jazz Funk Jazz Waltz and Latin Jazz. At the end of the book there is the chord progression for the popular jazz standard Blue Moon showing you how to use various examples from over 100 riffs to create an improvised solo over the chordprogression. By demonstrating this technique you can pick most jazz standards and create your own improvisational ideas using the book.The accompanying CD is recorded with the guitar as the melody instrument along with the piano bass and drums. All of the examples are recorded with the guitar playing with the rhythm section at the normal tempo followed by just the rhythm section playing the normal tempo so that the soloist can practice along. The more difficult examples have been recorded with the rhythm section playing at a slowed down tempo.
