Hello Again Folks.....I'm probably your biggest music critic more so than anyone else that has written a review about Wolf Marshall and his transcribing music of different Jazz Artist. Don't think I enjoy criticizing musicians because I don't. However, I'm just like everbody else in that I bought the "Wes Montgomery" transcriptions also. Wolf Marshall is no brain surgeon when it comes to transcribing jazz licks for guitar. I have most of his work but as it is with anyone you will never get perfect transcritpions unless you get them from the source. Even George Benson during his career didn't come up with his own ideas for licks he got ideas for licks from Charlie "Bird" Parker, Miles Davis, Phil Upchurch, Grant Green, Wes Montgomery and Charlie Christian. Remember that Jazz Guitar transcritpions are only used as a tool to help us become better guitar players. I will say that Wolf Marshalls transcription work is a little bit better than most musicians who transcribe for the Guitar. With this said in mind I will conclude that I own "101 Jazz Guitar Licks", "Best of Wes Montgomery" and "Best of George Benson". These books are organized too show us the different licks each artist used during the different eras of jazz music, Bebop, Post Bebop, Cool Jazz and Smooth Jazz. The whole idea of transcribing the Jazz Guitarist work is to demonstrate how he does things with his hands and which modes he uses on the fingerboard. Without the knowledge about modal Jazz scales we couldn't become better jazz guitarists. I am starting to enjoy my transcritpions and overlooking that Mr. Marshall is not perfect and that he is a good guitarist that is making money as a performer and as a transcriber. I wish him the best in the years to come and his work as a musician.

This is the best value for money I've ever got on a guitar book, at only $15.61 from Amazon!
Great music, accurate transcription.
I just keep on playing the cd, and reading and working at the book.
If you are interested in improving your playing, this is a must!
NEW UPDATE 11-oct-2007
1 year later I'm still enjoying this book and cd!
Slowly progressing through Missile Blues and Sundown.
I can play the heads for both songs, now moving into the solos.
Trying to speed up my reading of notes.
Still using both tabs and notes, as I reckon tab is still essential because the guitar sounds so different depending on the frets used.

First of all, Wolf Marshall is an awesome guitarist. To be able to mimic the syles of so many legendary guitar heroes is nothing short of unbelievable. This book gave me insight into Wes songs I already knew and helped me correct some of the mistakes I was making, after learning them by ear. Mi Cosa, for example, uses the original Riverside version, I learned the Verve version, which was done with strings. I suggest, whenever possible, listen to actual Wes recordings. Wolf is good, but he definitely ain't Wes. There is a difference in the exact nuances, phrasing and touch that Wes gets. I've been playing for 30+ years and am impressed with the knowledge I've been able to gain from Wolf's books. The transcriptions are first-rate and accurate. I also recommend his George Benson and Pat Martino books. This is more than worth the money, it's a real bargain. Buy and enjoy.

This is a really well done transcription of these Wes Mongomery tunes. The tablature is very accurate and easy to work with. The accompanying CD is also good help for working on these solos.

Wolf tears it up in this one. I now have three of his books: 101 jazz licks, Wes Montgomery, and Charlie Christian. This one is by far my favorite of the three.
All of Wolf's books are dead accurate. I have played his cds and origional recordings side by side and the match is identical. He and his band have got every note, every cymbol crash, every lick, everything down identically. The tabs are also right on. Wolf is the only one I've found who gets tabbing correct.
Buy ALL of his books. Not only is he an amazing guitarist, he is also a totally humble man. He even gave me some pointers that have helped me considerably when I very first met him at a John Pissano/Henry Johnson gig at Spazios in Sherman Oaks.
