Great podcast. However I don't understand how sight reading theoretical concepts in the forms of etudes that are not jazz specific can help you improvise over jazz standards in any way shape or form. I did vol 1 and part of vol 2 and feel like this book makes you a good sight reader (but you'd be better served as a classical guitar player if that's what you're into) and a moderately good music/guitar theoretician. Volume one is a lot of work to basically learn open positions and the CAGED system; and teaches you 0 in terms of vocabulary and tunes, the key to improv.

I thought this was a video, it'd be great if podcasts came labeled as such.
