Thirty arrangements of jazz standards for the solo jazz guitar. Melodies range from early swing to more modern jazz and include jazz blues, ballads and bossa nova classics.

Counter-point, harmonized melody and bass interact to create constant movement and interest. The arrangements offer an insight in how to arrange melodies for solo playing.
