| LearnJazzPiano.com archives: National Book Tokens Grrrrrrrrrrr | |

| My daughter gave me £30 worth of UK National Book Tokens for Christmas specifically so that I could buy a Jamey Aebersold Play along. I can't redeem them against this type of book in places where they sell the book (like John Myatt, Jazzwise, Amazon etc) and when I find a store that will accept book tokens, they can't get the Aebersold Play along for me (like Borders, Watersones, WHSmith etc). Grrrr. | |

| Forget the playalong and use the tokens to buy some decent literature - it will make you a better musician in the long run. sid | |

| Or, sell the tokens for cash and buy what you want. | |

| Thanks for the advice, Sid. I feel that you may be right about the play a long. I have ordered it but will let you know what I think of it later. On the 'improvement' side this New Year (and following good advice from this site), I'm also taking 3 months of lessons on technique with a very good music teacher. I'll also report back in due course. CynBad, I'm doing just that. Thanks again. Kai | |
