Questions about the Freddie Green lesson

I've been working my way through the Charlton Johnson book on Freddie Green style comping ("Swing and Big Band Guitar: Four-To-The Bar Comping in the Style of Freddie Green") off and on for a while, and I'm familiar with a fair number of these forms and their use. Those who know the book and Jim's lesson- should I get Jim's lesson as well? Or should I move on to something else?

    My lesson wouldn't hurt, but I'd say try something else. Or you might try this?

    Charlie Christian "Rose Room" Note for Note
    SAMPLE CLIP
    In this lesson we learn the great Charlie Christian's solo on "Rose Room". Included in this lesson is a note for note transcription of Charlie’s solo, a chord melody of Benny Goodman playing the melody and instruction on the Freddie Green style of swinging rhythm. Additionally, I break down the solo to relatable scales and mnemonic devices that allow the Jazz novice to jump off to free uninhibited jazz improvisation.
