Jazz Guitar Soloing: The Cellular Approach
by Randy Vincent

Learn how to solo like the masters!
The ultimate practice book for serious jazz guitarists!

The Cellular Approach is a practical method for developing the ability to create convincing jazz solos in a wide variety of playing situations.
It takes actual jazz lines recorded by master players and then slices them up into small “cells” that can be re-combined into longer lines to fit almost any harmonic situation.
This enables the player to improvise his or her own lines that sound just as interesting and melodic as the masters without resorting to simply copying others.
