Mel Bay Jazz Guitar Standards: A Complete Approach to Playing Tunes Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book, along with its companion book "Jazz Guitar Stadards II,"are the best song books I've seen for the serious jazz guitarist.Each standard has four separate arangements - word melody lead sheet, chord melody solo, comping etude backup. and single note jazz improvisation melody.Among these arangements, there are many options from which any guitarist can pick and chose their own desired approach to each song.I have concentrated on the chord melody arrangements, which I found quite chalenging, but are well worth the effort.With the exception of the word melody, the arrangements are presented in both regular music and TAB formats.This combination definitely makes it easier to master very difficult fingering movements.All chord names are also included, so students can learn to associate the finger patterns with the correct chord designation.

I believe this song book to be aimed at the advanced amateur.
