 jazz books Hai Guys/ladies...I started with Mickey Baker nr. 1, later nr. 2, then switched to Warren Nunes, Garrison Fewell, picked-up chords from Eddie Arkin's Chord Substition book and Johnny Smith Approach to Guitar, Single Note soloing by Ted Greene and completely misunderstood Gateway to Guitar Improvisation by Tony di Caprio (to difficult for a simple mind like mine!). I did it my way. Even Chris Standring's excellent "Play what you hear" did not make me a better player. Maybe I hav'nt got the talent... but I love picking up my Yamaha and improvise for a couple of hours. Even my wife enjoys it!!! That's music and that's what it is all about. Enjoyment. Greetings from Amsterdam, Hans Dekker |

 Jerry Coker - Johnny Rector - Roger Edison great posting! so many great books... i've purchased 25% of them over the years... i'd have to add: Johnny Rector's Guitar Chord Progressions: 100 pages of intelligent and unique jazz comping voices and progressions Roger Edison's Jazz Guitar: in two parts (Lead & Rhythm) all you really need progressions, voicings, arpeggios Jerry Coker's Improvising Jazz: a gem - the most undervalued book in jazz - i've had this book for 40 years - for all instruments - a quality bound book that fits in your guitar case -explains in plain english all you need to know about jazz improv, scales, chords and an appendix of 100 jazz progressions with modulations in roman numerals |

| [quote=howdjado;71130] I object to the book list idea, not because it's bad, but because it will cause me to search for more guitar/music books, buy them, and then have to buy more bookcases to store them. It is an endless quest.  that's for sure... and there's allways one more i haven't heard of... or another coming out... when i break down and buy "one more" or "the last one i'll ever need" i generate the thought that at least my book habit is healthier than smoking or drinking... but i really must buckle down and thoroughly apply each book to my playing... as i tend to accumulate and procrastinate... but i'm having some success with a spreadsheet of the topics in each book and pagination... so when i'm into octaves or chord substitutions, etc, i can check the spreadsheet for the appropriate book... and it's interesting to get the different ideas and presentations from various guitar mentors... i've also done this for records and CD's to get different arrangements of the same tune... music is the gift that keeps on giving... Cheers! |

| Johnny Rector & Warren Nunes Quote:
 Certainly not... I guarantee the Rector Book will be challenging, attainable and you'll walk away with a definite skill. I paid $28 in Canada with CD, but they're $20 in the U.S.... (same prices as the Nunes' book). For me guitar is a passion yet still just a hobby... but i've purchased both books and I need both to study a wide variety of music.Nunes & Rector are both great. The JG Chord Bible is a huge book offering many more chord voicings and progressions - and they apply to many styles: jazz, folk, rock... years of work, much like Ted Greene's books. I open it up to any page and simply jump in and learn something new - 187 pages of excellent voice leading that opens up the fingerboard. Sure, buy this one first because it's good for all jazz styles. Rector's book is more concise (half the size) and practical. It is also very programmed - start at page one and don't skip pages till you've completed the book... (you may if you wish, but...). And it would take at least a full year to do it justice... but if you want to play Sinatra, Ella, Ellington, pop or stage band... he gives the best, optimum voicings (very sonorous together)... like a set, they all sound great together and they "finger" well together as a set. It helped me hear progressions in a new way... like they were played for the Rat Pack in a 50's vegas casino. He gives us something attainable and the progressions are authentic. If you were to comp for a vocalist (or chug along in a big band), this would be all you need to sound authentic and not feel nervous. I imagine that it would be a treasure for someone in a school stage band or someone doing cocktail gigs or jazz standards. By memorizing and practicing just the chords in this book, you could sight read any gig's chord chart and make the changes. My copy is well worn. Rumour has it that Johnny Rector regretted selling it to Mel Bay. And many swear by his method. Rector also wrote an Encyclopedia of Jazz Guitar Runs, Fills, Licks & Lines (with notation, tab and chord symbols). They work well together to provide a complete course. I guess i'm saying that Nunes' offers an exploration into creative sounds while Rector provides a toolbox of chords and where to use them professionally. Owning both books covers a lot of styles and makes good sense. I hope I don't appear biased. If you ever buy it, let me know how things turn out... Cheers! |

| How about ebooks for people who want to explore the realms of jazz fusion? Plus, on an added note, what about a book for easy -> really complex guitar riffs, licks, chords and music theory? I hope you give me some suggestions on those. The only books I've read were Guthrie Govan's Creative Guitar (1 and 2) and both are very VERY nifty books. I recommend you guys get it, especially for those who've had some slumps lately. |

| A really good series, it helped me a lot, is Mel Bay presents Essential jazz lines in the style of Wes Montgomery (by Corey Christiansen). It not only contains the famous octave-chords, but also an overview of arpeggios, which you can transpose, bebop scales, major ideas, minor ii-V ideas, turnarounds. A cd is enclosed. Other titles are e.g. All blues soloing for jazz guitar; Complete book of harmony, theory & voicing for guitar, Fingerstyle jazz guitar, Joe Pass guitar style. Very clear written, practical exercises. Check Mel Bay.com: Products for guitar, mandolin, banjo, dulcimer, fiddle, ukulele |

William Leavitt - Melodic Rhythms 4. Carlos Barbosa Lima - Scott Joplin transcriptions (great exercises that help with chord melody). 5.

 At least Han's wife enjoy's it peanut money is all you really get from what I know all musicians usually work at parttime jobs thats why they have parttime jobs cause most artists are in between what their all about and what they are capable of doing so untill it happens. |

| So many recommendations on self teaching, so little time. At 60, with a full time job, I want to teach myself some jazz guitar basics so I can keep up with weekend warrior type guys who like to play the American Songbook. I learned to play guitar circa the Beatles, can play chords on my steel string acoustic and cheapo Phantom rock electric, but when I visited a local jazz guitar teacher for a prelim interview, he said I was a beginner---"kinda"..... I still have to decide whether to go for the sound of an acoustic nylon (Bertoncini) or the artcore electric. I may end up playing alot of times all by myself, for my own enjoyment. I had 2 self teaching thoughts which I don't see mentioned at all in any of the posts....For my profile, would anyone have a thought regarding subscribing for online lessons at the Martin Taylor Guitar Academy, ($60 for 3 months, there are online lessons, you can send him videos of your playing) or the newish Roni Ben-Hur's "Chordabiliity" DVD. Many thanks for your response. |

| Man, just devour the Chord and Progressions for Jazz and Popular GTR by Arnie Berle. You'll be playing some killer extended inverted chords in no time. That interview will be different if you put a year into the Berle Chord book. |
