My good friend and colleague Mark Shark has a new book. It is literally his life’s work. I have many fond memories of hanging and working out the transcriptions for this book. There is so much unexplored harmonic territory waiting on those pages. It’s another world once you twist those keys and this book IS the roadmap.
