Kahn discusses the use of leading tones and the basic triad as tools for playing guitar in a combo setting. He does a good job of covering the no-man's land between rhythm guitar and lead guitar.

If you are a beginner or weaker intermediate player, pass on this book for now and come back to it later.  Useful material here, with plenty to keep you going for a long time. Steve gives you lots of examples on how to use triads and extensions and not just a bunch of theory. The CD's are very helpful in hearing the applications. After all, it is music and having an opportunity to hear what the material should sound like was a great aid in helping me understand the ideas.
