Introduction
Welcome to Jim Kelly's Guitar Workshop. For years I've written material to use in private lessons, ensembles, and workshops entitled Jazz Rock Improvisation and Jazz Rock Rhythm Guitar. This is a collection of songs and studies that I use in the classroom and in concert, for the student as well as the working professional. This is not a method book as such., nor is it aimed at a specific level of experience. It need not be studied in sequence. Some parts will be very difficult for a beginner, and some parts easy for the more advanced player. This is resource material to play with friends, teachers, students, or the enclosed CD. Many of these songs T play on gigs because the arrangements are simple enough to learn quickly with a band and there's room to "stretch" and solo. The studies are designed to develop different skills and to build musical and technical vocabulary. The CD falls somewhere between a "record" and a "play-along." The band and I wanted the music to be as alive as possible to keep the sound real while preserving the option of removing the guitar later. You will notice some leakage of the guitar track when it is removed, especially with the acoustic bass. We recorded live in the studio and got as much isolation as we could while keeping a natural feel. Any flaws contained in the performances were left as a matter of "close enough for now." Strive for perfection, but in the meantime, play the best you can. I hope you enjoy this material and find it as useful as I have. Jim
