The Ultimate Guide To Jazz Guitar: The Great Method of Jazz Guitar

My approach in this book is to begin with very basic information, and then proceed logica lly, covering the harmonie, melodic and technical concepts that are needed to see the complete picture.The study of jazz is a lifetime pursuit, but it doesn't have to take a lifetime to learn the basics and start playing.
Spanning from the major scale and basic triad theory all the way up to extended chords and the modes, this book features a full-length etude or song to go with every new concept introduced. Beginning Jazz Guitar breaks the age-old tradition of dry, intimidating and confusing jazz books, and provides an actual step-by-step and enjoyable method for learning to play in this style.

Clearly organized into easily mastered segments, each chapter is divided into separate lessons on harmony or improvisation.

This book is for the self-taught student as well as those studying with a teacher. The books can also be used as a reference source. If you are just beginning your jazz education, you should definitely start with this book and proceed from lesson to lesson and book to book. If you have been studying for awhile you might want to skip around, although you should make sure you don't miss any important infor mat ion along the way.
