Jazz Guitar Harmony: The Melodic Approach

2 CDs enclosed.

Learn jazz guitar harmony in a logical, step-by-step way that is always focused on gig-ready applications.

Harmony-melody relationship is explored in detail via "hands on" examples that start with simple voicings over common chord changes ( II-V-I, I-VI-II-V and others) and moves on to comping over well-known jazz standards and blues. The standards are fully notated with beautiful and lush passing chords in the style of the great guitarists. Finally, learn how to harmonize jazz heads.

All examples are written in both standard notation and TAB. The book is accompanied by two CDs of play-a-long tracks (with bass and drums) and full demonstration tracks (guitar/bass/drums).
