This 3 volume edition is packed with hundreds of studies in altissimo playing, intervals, syncopation, chord substitution, polychords, superimposed triads, sequences, modulations, cycles, and much more. It's a thorough and creative workout which will develop your technique and your harmonic and rhythmic resources. Here are a few among the dozens, of "Eddieisms" that will make you reflect with a smile of recognition:

• A good musician plays well when he's happy. He even plays good when he's sad -- Overplays when he is angry, and plays nothing when he's mad.
• There are no wrong intervals if played in succession.
• There are no wrong chords, only wrong progressions.
• There are no wrong notes, only wrong connections.
• There are no wrong compositions, only wrong inflection.
• Musical sounds are the the language of the world; only when these musical sounds are analyzed, categorized, overly dramatized and sometimes chastised is when man fails to realize that a musical sound is the beauty of life itself.
