Note from the Author
I hope this book will provide you with a fresh outlook on the subject of improvisation. You should also be listening
to other instruments and learning from as many sources as you can. Remember that improvising also
means taking chances, experimenting, and really listening to what you play. Without these elements, improvised
music is robbed of its essential drama and spontaneity.
Introduction
There have been many books written on the subject of jazz improvisation. Many of these books simply contain
an abundance of scales to be used when soloing. While the learning of scales is certainly essential, I
feel the more important lesson lies in learning to make actual music with the scales you know. The overall
purpose of "Jazz Improvisation for Guitar" is to equip the guitarist with the necessary tools to make the transition
from playing disjointed scales and arpeggios to playing melodic solos that maintain continuity and interest
for the listener.
