Lee's new eBook '100 Examples for the Modern Intermediate Guitarist' is now available.

'...this book represents a collection of resources which I have amassed throughout this time and in my most formative musical training years. These examples are designed to be used as a guide for guitar players in most popular music styles who are principally interested in furthering their own improvisation and harmony skills...'
