Wolf presents a good selection of jazz licks here which will do you good if you practice them and try to incorporate them into your solos. Just trying to play the licks at the speed Wolf does will help your chops considerably, but it is not necessary to get up to his scary tempos--not all the licks are fast. His speed is actually somewhat ridiculous, given that I've looked at books by many of the greats, and they rarely play things as fast and difficult as Wolf presents them here. But again, it's a good challenge.
The biggest problem with the book is that the accompanying cd does not use a metronome behind the guitar, which makes it difficult to imagine how they would sound in the context of a rythym section. And considering that many of the licks are not straight 8ths or 16ths, the rythym makes no sense. Overall a good buy, and you should get a lot of use out of this one.

Not a beginners book.

Wolf Marshall always writes great books. The guy's a brain surgeon when it come to transcribing guitar licks as he analyzes every detail. He makes sure the reader knows the historical context of the lick, the chord/scale relationship, articulation phrasing, even amp/guitar combinations when applicable.
Although it is written for the guitarist, the book transcribed a lot of non-guitar licks played by horn players like Charlie Parker and Miles Davis. The chapters are divided by eras. First the swing era, pre-bebop, bebop (Parker) hard bop, cool jazz, modal jazz (Miles), then contemporary jazz, and post modern jazz. I think that about covers it.
The only drawback, if there is one, is that it's only a lick book. The user is without the benefit of a play-along recording on the CD to practice your newly learned lick with. You might have a tendancy to learn a lick, but you never apply it, and consequently forget it. At least this book is good enough you'll keep it in your library. It's a reference book you'll want to come back to.

I'm amazed at this collection. Almost ALL 101 liks are relevant licks that you will recognized inmediately. This will be a great supplement to any Guitar Method book you might be studying. Special notice have to go about the great quality of the CD recording.

I've been down this road before. Buy the book, get involved with it, learn a few things then forget them. But, there is value here. Methods such as these do start the creative juices flowing, plus exercise your technical abilities. I won't put too much weight on these methods, but Wolf Marshall has put out some wonderful aids for the developing guitarist.
Choose those licks, or songs you like and rehearse those. Developing a language of your own sounds easy. But it's not. It takes some time and a boat load of dedication.
My hat is off to Wolf Marshall, he's jump starting the process, but you have to keep at it. YOU HAVE TO PUT IN THE TIME AND EFFORT. There is no substitute for that phase of development.
