Jazz Guitar Method

I have some really good jazz chord books, but I was attracted to this one after reading some good reviews in the jazz forums, and here in Amazon. They were not wrong: this is an excellent chord book: it gives lots of clear information about substitutions and progressions that I wonder why this book is not as popular as Mickey Baker's. I don't care either for the first soloing part: the second part dedicated to chords and chord substitutions is a MUST!!!! Essential purchase.

I have yet to find another Jazz guitar method book as practical as this one. This is not a great place to start but if you already have a good basic understanding of the instrument, can read music and understand basic chord theory, then you're probably ready for this book. If you take your time and work through this text diligently, both your improvising and rhythm playing will be greatly improved. Good luck!

Very good book for learning chords and for practice exercises. But... you need to have a lot of commitment and dedication and enjoy learning guitar from a book.

One of the best Jazz Guitar Methods out there.

Good Seller. Recomended. AAAAA+

this is a classic that I repurchased. I learned jazz chords and theory from this book many years ago and wanted to refresh my knowledge.

The chord section of Lee's book is very logical and builds up from triads, giving the student a very complete understanding of the basic building blocks of harmony. The chapters concerning solo playing are approached in a similar way, so they only scratch the surface in a very guitaristic way of moving pre-set melodic items around according to the changes. For chords, it is one of the most logical approaches I've seen so far.

very clear and concise- good basics

I found this book on a jazz website and comes highly recommended so I thought I'd give it a go.A brilliant book! I think it's two books in one as the original was in two volumes.It really does take you from beginnings in music reading to a competent level.Yes, it is a music notation based text only but that's a good thing. I have noticed a few grammatical typos in the printing.A good book to add to your Jazz guitar book collection.

Molto bello,, ma sempre in inglese, studi in modalità progressiva e stimolante, come dovrebbe essere un qualsiasi libro scolastico. Ottimo

E' un ottimo libro, valido per il punto di vista teorico che della parte di esercizi. E' una guida per entrare nel mondo del jazz ma consigliato anche per chi non è specificatamente interessato al genere.

Un testo che non può mancare. Chiaro e semplice. La formazione degli accordi e la la loro sostituzione è molto utile.
