Beatles Sheet Music: An Introduction to Jazz Guitar Soloing BK/CD (Introduction to Book & CD) Review

An Introduction to Jazz Guitar Soloing BK/CD [Paperback]

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book is based on Joe's Jazz Workshop 1 and 2 electives as taught at GIT for 20 years and was one of the best classes I took at MI.
It begins by the 'connecting game' of connecting basic seventh arpeggios of II VI progression by nearest tone and then progresses through melodic minor harmony of Altered and Locrian #2 scales to use min(maj7) and maj7(#5) arpeggio 'combo plates' to give a Jazz sound.
However, even basic connecting game takes a lot of practice to visualize one arpeggio as finishing another, or swap between different scales smoothly.This might seem a bit like painting by numbers at first, but point is to get to know sound and fingerings.
Eleven common chord 'situations' are covered; II V I in major and minor, long and short, turnarounds, bebop bridge, non-resolving II V and principle is to be able to take any Jazz standard or other tune, break it down into common situations and create lines for each.
Also covered are chromatics in maj7, min7, m7b5 and dom7 chords and targeting chord tones with surround notes.
This book contains a lot of useful information you will probably not have seen so clearly presented elsewhere, in its 104 pages.
If you get really adventurous, you can extend to all five major and minor patterns and use other arpeggios from melodic minor such as IV7 and VIm7b5, but material in book will probably keep you occupied for at least six months and probably a lot longer.
