Richard, I'm curious why did you chose to scatter the exercises
throughout the book, and not concentrate them in one section. At first
I haven't even seen the exercises. I started plowing through the songs
(not easy!!), and only by leafing through it one day I noticed all the
exercises (they're great). So now, when I practice, I need to skip
around the book to find the various exercises.

I only wish there were more recordings..

The book includes transcriptions and analysis of solos by Toots Thielemans, Stevie Wonder, Miles Davis, Charlie Christian, Tom Scott, and King Curtis, among others, in arrow and standard notation, with scales, exercises, and lots of other stuff.
