Jump Blues is presented as a methodology covering theory, comping, accompanist riffs, horn lines arranged for guitar, and several approaches for soloing drilling down on many approaches for opening up the neck for the scales, arps and riffs that are employed in swing and Jump Blues guitar.

Jump Blues also ices the cake with 12 tasty solos, followed by in-depth analysis of several Jump Blues giants such as Brian Setzer, T-Bone Walker, Charlie Christian, Gatemouth Brown and Freddie King, all of whom have their own signature jump blues sound.

Accompanying vocalists and soloists is a big part of the Jump Blues style and is as challenging and rewarding as soloing. A sizable chunk of Jump Blues is dedicated to voicings, pulling off various rhythms and locking up with the rhythm section.

A comprehensive overview with dozens of examples is presented laying out the groundwork for Jump Blues. Rhythm, comping and bass lines are thoroughly examined with dozens of examples and rhythm studies. Twelve full-chorus signature-style solos are presented, broken down and analyzed in depth. Dozens of essential horn lines and accompanist riffs, arranged for guitar, are presented and demonstrated.
