Advanced Rhythmic Concepts for
Guitar; 
Foreword by Alex Machacek; 
(An in-depth study on Metric
Modulation, Polyrhythms and Polymeters)

(Currently being sold through  Abstract Logix)

Advanced Rhythmic Concepts for
Guitar is a step by step guide through the process of identifying, dissecting,
constructing, practicing and applying: Metric Modulations, Polyrhythms, “Ratio”
Polyrhythms, Polyrhythm Divisions/Polyrhythms within Polyrhythms, Intrinsic
Polymeters, Extrinsic Polymeters, Polymetric Accompaniment, and Polymetric
Improvisation.

As for the books relevance towards
the jazz/fusion and avant-garde communities, I refer you to some of the many stellar
reviews received by highly esteemed musicians, as well as authors of the
aforementioned genres:

"Jan Rivera's book is clear,
thorough, and methodical, and will be an asset to anyone wishing to improve in
the area of rhythm. Having the fluency to freely play with polyrhythms and
polymeters is a valuable skill for the modern improvisor, and careful study of
this book will provide the student with the tools needed to achieve this."
 - Ben Monder

"Guitarist Jan Rivera has
produced a thorough, easy to understand guide to metric modulation that will be
very useful to any serious musician. There are hundreds of examples in this
book illustrating and breaking down rhythmic concepts in pragmatic ways that
will make their applications possible. Highly recommended". -John
Stowell

"Rhythm is such an important
and under nourished aspect of playing and studying music.  Jan Rivera has
come up with an informative, challenging and clear concept for understanding
and using complex rhythms.  The book is called "Advanced Rhythmic
Concepts For Guitar", but I really feel that this book will benefit any
musician; no matter what instrument they play.  Just the Ratio Polyrhythms
section is a great help in organizing one's thinking about that difficult
subject. I highly recommend this book for anyone who is serious about improving
their overall knowledge of how rhythms work and more importantly how to use
them effectively." -Dean Brown
