<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>Quickly learn how to solo over the 13 most essential chord progressions in jazz guitar using arpeggios, substitutions and chromatic approaches.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>There are many different bebop chord progressions, but in essence they can be broken down into just thirteen simple structures. Chord Tone Soloing for Jazz Guitar teaches you to how to use arpeggios, extensions, chromatic ideas and substitutions over each of the thirteen essential jazz sequences, and how to combine these building blocks into authentic, melodic solos.</p><p>Each progression is approached both logically and methodically to build articulate guitar solos from the fundamental principles of jazz guitar. By applying arpeggio-based techniques, and learning to decorate your solos with chromatic ideas, you will quickly learn how to 'play the changes' in a musical and creative way.</p><p>Chord Tone Soloing for Jazz Guitar helps you build an articulate jazz language around the most important sequences in jazz.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"I wish I had this book 40 years ago when I was cutting my jazz teeth. Horn players have known this stuff for eons, but somehow guitarists missed the boat. Even the great classic jazz guitar tutors didnt spend much time on topics like voice leading. Possibly because the guitar was primarily regarded as a rhythm instrument in the early days of jazz.<br /> I believe that if someone had given me this book 40 years ago it would have shaved years off my practise time. I eventually did learn the subject matter but I made a lot of mistakes along the way and spent a lot of time playing the wrong things<br /> <br /> I would highly recommend this book to students of jazz guitar, and teachers alike. I am a teacher and I find this book to be a great resource."</p><p>"Arpeggios are the building blocks of jazz improvisation (soloing) and this book is a masterwork on how to build the necessary skills to master them. It is not a book you can sit down and rush through, and that is a good thing. Follow the instructions the author sets out in the beginning and over time you will begin to see the wisdom of the method he recommends in this volume."</p><br>
