BEGINNING JAZZ GUITAR
Anyone with a knowledge of basic chords and guitar scale fingerings can dig right in and start
learning to play jazz right away. 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 in the book. 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.

INTERMEDIATE JAZZ GUITAR
This book is great for guitarists who have learned the basics of jazz harmony and improvisation.
Topics include the ii-V-I progression, creating solo lines, altered chord formulas and "com ping" in
different jazz feels such as Latin, swing, ballad and even funk. Continuing the format of Beginning
jazz Guitar, every new concept is accompanied by etudes and songs for practice, and every
chapter is clearly divided into harmony and improvisation lessons. Packed with literally
hundreds of chord voicings and improv ideas, this book is a must for any serious student of
jazz guitar.

MASTERING JAZZ GUITAR CHORD/MELODY
Learn to play the harmony, melody, rhythm and bass parts of any song simultaneously! Your
guitar will become the ultimate jazz solo instrument when you master the techniques and
concepts in this book. This book picks up where the harmony lessons in Intermediate jazz Guitar
leave off. Topics include integrating melody and harmony, developing bass lines, chord
enhancement, quartal harmonies and arranging a guitar solo. Concepts are illustrated with
lots of examples to practice, including arrangements of some traditional melodies.

MASTERING JAZZ GUITAR IMPROVISATION
Expand the boundaries of your knowledge and improvisation skills with this exciting book,
which picks up where the improv lessons in Intermediate jazz Guitar leave off. Topics include
improvising over altered dominant chords, the diminished scale, the whole-tone scale, targeting
the altered chords, revamping licks, modes of the minor scales and more! Loaded with
easy-to-read scale diagrams and example phrases, this book is packed with essential information
for the improvising jazz guitarist.
 

INTRODUCTlON
Welcome to the second book of a four book series about to playing jazz guitar. The format of this book is the same as Beginning jazz Guitar: each chapter is divided into lessons and each lesson is comprised of two sections. The "A" section of every lesson deals with chord work and harmonic concepts, while the"B" section contains information about single-line improvisation. The CODA section at the end of the book discusses technique and a variety of other areas of interest to jazz guitar students.
To get the most out of this book you should already be familiar with major and minor pentatonic scales, triads and chords with extensions (such as 9ths, I Iths and 13ths), transposition, basic diatonic harmony, the modes of the major scale and melodic patterns. You don't need to be an expert in all of these areas, but a firm grasp of the concepts will certainly help you get through this volume more easily.
This series, Beginning jazz Guitar, Intermediate jazz Guitar, Mastering jazz Guitar: Chord/Melody and Mastering jazz Guitar: Improvisation, covers an enormous amount of material. Be sure to supplement this information with lessons, practice, and other instructional books and video tapes. Also, playing with others is very important for your development.
While the four books in this series progress from elementary ideas to very complex concepts, the more advanced player would benefit by checking out all of them. Even the Beginning book contains some very challenging material. The series is designed so that it can be used as a reference-sort of a catalogue of concepts for jazz guitarists-or as a well organized method to be used with an instructor or on one's own.
I wish you lots of joy as you absorb this information. I hope this book will help you find the self-expression you are looking for through music and the guitar.

A compact disc is available for each book in this series. These discs can make learning with these books easier and more enjoyable. This symbol will appear next to every example that is played on the CD. Use the CD to help insure that you are capturing the feel of the examples, interpreting the rhythms correctly, and so on. The Track numbers and Index numbers below the symbols correspond directly to the example you want to hear. Track I will help you tune to the CD.

INTRODUCTION
This book is about learning to play in a style we call Chord/Melody. In this style songs are
arranged so the harmony, melody, rhythm and sometimes the bass parts are played simultaneously.
These arrangements can be played alone or, if desired, make it possible for the
guitarist to lead his or her own group. Players who study this style know that it can be one
of the deepest forms of musical self-expression. Also, there are enough concepts to learn
and apply to keep one intrigued for a lifetime.
It has always amazed me that many guitarists just stand there not knowing what to do
when asked to playa song alone. The whole idea behind playing a musical instrument is to
play music -play songs. It seems that most guitarists know the parts of songs they would
play in a band, but if they had to play something as a solo, well, most players would be
stuck.
This book is not for complete beginners. Th: material found here is for the student who
has been studying the information in the first two books of this series, Beginningjazz Guitar
and Intermediate jazz Guitar, or the equivalent. To get the most out of this book you should
be familiar with major scales, chord construction, major chord scales and altered chords.
In the first two books each lesson has two separate sections. The "A" section deals with
chords and harmony while the "B" section covers the topic of single-line improvisation.
This book focuses completely on chord/melody and harmonic concepts. It starts right
where the "A" sections of the Intermediate book left off. (Mastering jazz Guitar Improvisation
starts where the "B" sections in the intermediate book left off.)
While I personally prefer reading musical notation, it is not necessary in order to obtain
maximum results from this book. Examples are written in both standard notation and
tablature. While TAB is effective, it is not nearly as expressive as musical notation. Nonreaders
are missing out on an overwhelming amount of musical and instructional material.
You don't have to be a super sight reader, but the ability to decipher musical notation is
very important. Of course, the better you read music, the better your comprehension
and musicality will be. This will increase your enjoyment.
You may be surprised by the added benefits of becoming proficient in chord/melody playing.
Some of these are: a much greater awareness of harmony, better visualization of
arpeggio shapes, a more sophisticated sense of melody while improvising, and a dramatic
improvement in technique and strength. Also, keep in mind that you may be able to find
employment as a solo guitarist if band gigs aren't available.
After completing this book, you will be able to arrange your own chord/melody tunes and
you will have a deep understanding of chord progressions and harmony. This will allow you
to communicate with other musicians more effectively.
Take your time, practice slowly and have fun!
