The Story of Styles for the Studio

Styles1976

1976 Version

40 years ago a Studio City guitarist sat down to try and organize all the miscellaneous improvising ideas and licks he’d learned playing. He wanted to simplify modern improvising to eliminate the ambiguity and confusion and get straight to what a player could use. Styles for the Studio was born and the book sold world-wide for more than 35 years before going out of print. Old copies of the book started fetching high prices on eBay, and people kept writing the author looking for it.

Now, the book (and others) have been acquired by the author (through the generous cooperation of the great folks at Alfred Publishing).

Styles for the Studio, 40th Anniversary Edition has been completely updated and reissued. The book, while maintaining the original look and feel has been reorganized, edited, and updated with the digital age quality now available. New typeset, enlarged diagrams, and improved labels and artwork are used to deliver the original content more clearly.
